Here are some progress pictures of dad's 300-G. He had this car for 14 years or so and did nothing with it. It was originally a white car, he had it painted red. Once it came out of paint, which took forever, it just sat inside and never went together. Finally, something got in him and he decided to throw the car together. Dad didn't want the 413 with 2-4's on it, instead he put a 5.7 hemi in it. He has the factory push button working the 5.7 so far. Everything has fit great. He just got the march pulley system in. Sadly, march didn't have anyone try it before making it. Dad found a bunch of issues with it, which they have now corrected. He just got it all working after making quite a few pieces.

This is the car he's taking on the hotrod power tour. Since I'll be in the viper, I might have to borrow some trunk space! Sorry for the bad pics, they were done with my camera phone.

That's cool but how will you get the Long Rams to bolt up to that?

Tell your dad that I know a guy who has 2 of those he might be parting out should he need any finishing detail items.

That car should be one heck of a sweet crusier when it's done, few realize how complex a job it can be restoring a big Mopar from that era.
