Let's see that cool looking hood scoop... Probably nothing that hasn't been posted here at some point in the past, but since I don't feel like digging around for pics in old posts...

I like the red pin stripe on the grill I wanted the entire grill blacked out, but Mike thought the bright trim still looked decent enough that he put it back on. I think the red stripe was from the factory... I may go "full black" anyways, if I don't want to look at the "fish mouth" grill any longer. Also the crack on the left front frame rail is this common on the mopars ? I think someone else has found a crack on the frame rail, Doug with the 64 dodge I believe No idea. Mine had the rust hole in the frame when I bought it, but I'm pretty sure the cracks developed during the time I've owned it. I figure that every time it came off the line w/ the front wheels jerked 4-6 inches in the air that there was some stress being applied around the front suspension, etc.

Looks good, any progress is good progress. Exactly. Looks like Mike is getting right after it!! Yep. He told me today his work will be done by the weekend, so the car should be returning to La Casa de Chaos soon. Now it's up to me -- again -- to make sure things keep moving in the right direction.

Did you put the fuel pump inside the tank with the new setup? I think tanks with internal pumps are a bolt in deal for E body cars now. Naah... had purchased a standard replacement tank and a spare Mallory 140 pump quite a ways back... simpler & cheaper to do a basic parts swap at this point.
