The project is coming along slowly but surely. Had to wait in line for my Mopar paint and body expert to fit me in, but it's worth the wait.

We plan to put it on the rotisserie and cut in the bottom side and jambs, etc... with the EK2 paint this week and next, at which point I'll take it back to my shop and install the suspension, driveline, wiring, interior, vinyl top, glass, etc...

The grille is complete and might score a 7 out of 10 for condition, but definitely needs restored and painted. I'll start on that soon.

All metal work done, sealed the body the DP Epoxy primer, then primed with slick sand and guide coated.

Here are a few pics taken this week.

Yes, Through ingenuity and fabrication

I'll start testing it all in place soon then worrying about the fitment of the seals and vinyl top.

Thanks

March 12, 2017 and we finally have some fresh EK2 paint laid down and it's looking great ! Still gassing and we'll leave it sit for a while before cutting/buffing.

Here are a few photos:

Well the day has finally come where I can say it's almost done (haha).
Running, Driving, Assembled, and only missing a few small items that should be arriving in the mail next week.

I kept the original options and features it was built with when restoring the car.
The motor was built to be drivable and is only a little over stock with Edelbrock RPM 75cc heads, Holley 750 Carb, and Stock Exhaust Manifolds and Accurate Exhaust.

Maiden voyage went well, nothing caught on fire or fell off. It didn't overheat or break down. Starts east, idles great, shifts good, cooling system works great. A/C works good (gotta finish duct work), and Sunroof works great !

It's a pleasure to drive.

It has a small ping / diesel under heavy load (WOT) and I've adjusted the carb jets and backed off the timing a little and that fixed most of it. Probably need to back it off 2 more degrees (32).

Still working a hideaway headlight door relay problem, but the doors do open !

Getting close.

Here are a few photos...
