There is a link to my site under my sig for those that want to see more; just click on the hyperlink and the pics are on the second page. Feel free to critique, but keep in mind I am building a race car, not a show car!

Why a power steering chuck instead of a manual? No flames, just curious Fair question. Early in the build I decided not to modify the car in terms of adding and deleting options. It's actually been a bit of a hard thing to stick to at times. Some of the things I considered; - manual brakes. Car is coded for power disks - power steering. That doesn't show up on the Lynch Rd. fender tag, but there was a power steering box in place when I bought the car. Looks original, but who knows - torque boxes. Like most '70 440-6 autos, this car never had factory torque boxes. I had the urge to add them, but after some reflection decided I didn't need them for the traction-limited classes I intend to run. - radio delete. Again, not on the Lynch Rd. fender tag, but there was a factory hole in the fender for an antenna. This one I probably would have done except the radio "delete" woodgrain plate I bought doesn't match the repop woodgrain dash. There are a lot of purpose built cars and clones in Pure Stock and I wanted this one to be a little more true to how it was built. I have no illusions of being anywhere near the top runners anyway; just looks like a fun thing to do. I just need it to run strong enough so I don't embarrass myself!

It looks pretty good so far, but I've heard conflicting stories of how long it holds up. Of course, correct would be bare with heavy orange overspray, but I couldn't bring myself to do that. If I was to do it again (I painted them 3 years ago!) I'd try Scott Smith's "baked in oil" method.

I thought I'd take the time to give everyone an update (more of an anti-update, really! ) As Cody mentioned, I ran into a couple snags with the car; - When I went to put in the gas tank I discovered (to my horror) that I didn't have any brackets for the straps. Seems that the previous owner didn't bother putting them back on when they did thier "hack job" trunk floor replacement. When my bodyshop redid the floor properly they didn't know the brackets were supposed to be there and I didn't catch it until I was underneath the car with the J bolts in my hand! I bought some repop brackets, had them welded in and my car has been waiting for a call from the bodyshop for the last 2 months now! Also, my upholstery shop stripped the seats and found the front bench was too badly rusted to use. It took me a couple of months to find a replacement. They have the new core now. I'm still waiting for my steering column....That reminds me to e-mail Jules..... In addition my father's cancer has returned and my wife of 20 years has decided that being married to me isn't what she wants after all.... ......the upshot is that I haven't been focusing on the car for the last few months. This season's just about done anyway so I will endeavor to have it on the road in the spring. Sorry for the downer of a post guys. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?

I just thought I'd give a bit of a bump in anticipation of posting some new pictures and providing a bit of an update. On a personal note, my dad's cancer is in remission and though my wife is now my ex-wife, I have a great girlfriend who makes me very happy! Life has gotten in the way of my resto, but I've been back at it over the last month or two. Currently it is completely done and running with the exception of the following; - I have a problem with the brakes; still not sure if it's the master cyl, the booster or the linkage but something isn't right as there is 1/2" of travel on the rod BEFORE the brake pedal is depressed. - Car finally runs; we took great pains to ensure a trouble free start up including, priming the oil system, filling the engine with Crane cams break-in oil and additive, pressure testing the fuel system, etc. First try; no power....after trying to track down the problem for an hour, we realized that the amp meter was pooched; THANK YOU AUTOINSTRUMENTS! Bypass the Amp meter and try again.....nope, nothing....another hour to figure out it's the neutral safety switch (also new) so we bypass that and she fired up right away. Ran it for 25 - 30 minutes to break in the cam. Sounds great with the 2 1/2 TTI and Dynomax Ultraflows....I can hardly wait to drive it! - So I swap the neutral safety switch for a fresh one, and ........nothing! more tracing and we realize that the new harness is no good (thanks M&H! ). Cut the moulded rubber plug apart and find the broken connection to the center spade terminal; solder and reinstall....now it works! - Still have to install the carpet, rear door panels, rear wheelwell moulding, seatbelts, seats and misc. interior trim...... and of course, figure out my brake problem. Current goal is the Old Time drags and car show in Mission July 30th and 31st, but I've had many completion dates go by the wayside!! wish me luck and I'll try to post some recent pictures.

There was a minor fuel leak that I think is resolved and the rad hose blew off the thermostat housing but that was before the thermostat opened.......plus Vic insisted that we use just straight water until everything proved out which was a great idea. I'm thinking I'll be finishing up with the brakes and starting on the remaining interior stuff on Sunday if you want to come by for a beer and a listen (I promise not to put you to work like last time!!)

Canada	Well, just thought I'd post another update; - as some of you know, I had an accident with the car when it was 99.9% done (just needed the carpet and seat belts installed and a wheel alignment). link here: https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...part=1&vc=1 Anywho, the short version is the tranny malfunctioned and the car took off and mangled the N96 Ramcharger hood. I purchased another one which needed some work and it's currently at the body shop undergoing minor rust repair and bodywork. Fortunately I had purchased an extra gallon of PPG EF8 paint. I'm supposed to take the car in to the tranny shop in the next week or so to re & re and rebuild the tranny. Best guess so far is that the clutches somehow fused together and the tranny bumped from park into Reverse due to incorrect linkage setting and interference with a brake line. Because the clutches were fused, Reverse is now a forward gear apparently. I'll post some pics of the new hood when I get to the bodyshop. This car WILL get done eventually!

Sheldon Yep, looks like my ride around the block was destined to last me a long time! Just talked to the tranny guy yesterday and he said he's booked for the next 3 weeks. I told him that it wasn't a rush but once I have snow on the hill, the car isn't going anywhere (even in the trailer). That would mean re&re the tranny in my shop and taking it to him.......not a huge deal but he wanted the complete car to make absolutely sure everything worked. gonna call on my EBAY hood hinges I bought two weeks ago which haven't shown up yet.

Suffice to say the tranny is fixed, though I did end up paying him AGAIN. ....most expensive 727 rebuild EVER now! I told the bodyshop that they need to come to my shop to test fit and install the hood and they agreed.....car is going NOWHERE until the spring thaw, now. That is one heck of a beautiful R/T!

I went thru three different tire combos....14" rollers, 15" Steelies w/Goodyear 775/15 power cusions fronts and 29 x 12.5 MT Sportsmans rears, and finally 15" Steelies w/Goodyear Polyglass F70's fronts and Polyglass L60's Rears. I'm happy with the last combo, as it looks as factory as possible but fills the back wheel wells. I have photos of everything but am not photobucket savvy I will look into it, but if you need anything please ask, chances are I have pics. Sorry for the hijack Dave! No more I promise. I'm glad your past the issues. I dealt with similar setbacks, and sometimes you need to walk away for a few days/weeks/months. Next thing we know its years later!

I snuck home early to take the Hemi for a ride today, are you sure you aren't taking the car out til spring? Dry pavement breeds adolescent behaviour! Sheldon

Well, winter is fully engaged up at my place and getting the car up my driveway would require chains or a winch! Funny how just a couple hundred feet in elevation can change things. There is a little more to do, aside from misc. interior bits and carpet; - yes, the hood needs to be finished, painted and installed - car still doesn't idle down; Blair claims a vacuum leak.... - front signals and horn don't work - needs a wheel alignment There is also the ramcharger duct and rear WOM's (ordered a set from Dale's based on Bryan's experience) but those things aren't critical to taking the car out. .....no, I'm afraid spring is it for me.....if I'm lucky!

I finally figured it out. I overlooked my NOS date coded relay (that you can't even see). It turned out my problem was inside the actual relay. I took it apart and actually bent the arm closer to the contact so it would work properly. I dont know if thats your problem but if it is, maybe I can save you a headache!

The FSM actually has a good troubleshooting section for horns. Bad ground most likely the culprit Scratching that beautiful paint to bare metal is never easy.

I've had several ground related issues for that exact reason. I had nothing on the taillights until I crawled in the trunk and did some sanding to get a decent ground......I just HATE sanding away fresh new paint!

If I were to do it over, I'd have gotten a set of 15 x 7 steelies with polys on it and another set of the grey TT's with the radials for driving. I'll get the poly's eventually as they really make a resto look finished and correct IMO.
