...of my car when it was famous laugh2
Figured some of you might enjoy it.
A lot of work went into this vs the stock kit, based on photos I've collected over the years.
He even made the logo decals; apparently the 4 in 340 is unique to this car vs. the team cars.
He even did the correct firing order.
I owe this guy bigtime, and it's his as far as I'm concerned, I'm just its caretaker.

^^^ No kidding.
I'm pretty good at settling up, but he's got more coming for sure.
Been sharing the compliments from 340 A-body and SuperStock forums with him.
He's been a helluva friend for other reasons, too.

Heck, he made a T-quad out of an AVS, made wiper posts, shaved the wipers, converted the kit's 4-speed to a TF, d'shaft loop, did gauge faces, made the rollbar...
Had to tweak things for proper wheel/tire fit, spent days on the logo, it just goes on...
I might set it in the real car so it picks up some of its aroma laugh2

I honestly can't recall ever receiving a better gift, and I'm humbled...

That's cool! Clean build, too. up


1968 Charger project. I don't have a fender tag or a buildsheet, so it's getting a 440. Help me decide on a color--most everything looks great! (NOT white. My Challenger is white. Need some variety :D)
