This has been an ongoing project since the end of February (actually they start when you take possession of the car and ends when you sell it), but but the end of this phase is near as you see the thrash.
My friends, Larry and Chris, came down from New York to help out.

Thanks to Hemi Challenger for letting me use a shift rod since I had the wrong one. We got it running, no leaks, took it for a ride in the rain after break in, and I'm very happy right now. We need to adjust the valve for the front brakes some more , tune up the carb, get it aligned, and put on the bumper, grill, and valance.
If I can figure out how to do a video clip, I'll get one posted. It does sound good.
