Here is my latest project, a '68 Hemi GTX. It was last driven in '84. I don't know exactly what my plans are for this car but my goal is to put an engine in it within the next month or so and drive the wheels off of it this summer. Next winter I will probably tear it down and at least paint it and put an interior in it. If anyone has any tips or suggestions, please feel free to post them.

Anyways, I will try and take some photos as I go along to document the progress. Enjoy.

Here's a few more photos I took after I put some tires on it that would hold air.

Very nice project, a 68' GTX was my first big block MOPAR and still my favorite B-body

That looks like a nice project 4speed?

Great Project Stan, Love those 68 GTX's.. mine took 3 yrs. Keep us posted.

Looks like a back in the day car,,,I think it would be fun driving it around the way it looks now!!

Thanks for the comments! Yes, its a four speed car. It currently has 3.54's in the Dana but I have a couple of sets 4.10's in the garage and I will probably thow a set in there for now.

Here is the engine that I will be putting in it. I was running this in my '68 Charger but I pulled it out when I sold the car. I've got a set of black wrinkle valve covers and the original intake set-up which I will put on there today to make it look a little more "stock".

You know, maybe you should buy a flat hood and cut a hole in it....

I hear ya! I'm all about the tunnel ram but I've been running one for a couple of years now. I guess it's time for something different. I've got other plans for that tunnel ram anyways.
After running a tunnel ram, I just smile when I hear people say things like "You can't run that on the street." or "It's really hard to tune that.", etc. I love them!

The door hinges on the driver's side were shot so I attempted to rebuild them today. It ended up being a major project! I'm still not finished. The top hinge pin is literally rusted solid into the hinge. I've tried heat AND a press. It will not come out. I am going to attempt to weld up a jig to hold the hinge and use my drill press to drill out the pin. We'll see...


Stan

I finally got my hinges done. Insane. It took me almost two full days to rebuild the hinges and get the door and front fender aligned correctly. Anyways, it's done.

I pulled the tunnel ram off of the engine today and am getting it ready for the stock intake.

Stan, Put that engine in, put on a flat hood and don't paint it, go out and kick some cheby and furd a$$. Sure wish I could find a project like that. Bill then celebrate

Progress has been a little slower that what I would like. I'm hoping to make some leaps and bounds this weekend.

The 400 in my daily driver truck decided that it was getting pretty tired so it was time to buld an engine for it. It had 14 psi in one cylinder and 19 psi in another. My best cylinder was 60 psi! Anyways, I picked up a 54,000 mile 440 but unfortunately after it was pulled from the donor vehicle, it sat outside and water ran down through the carb into a couple of the cylinders. I pulled it apart and took it over to the machine shop yesterday for a cleaning and honing.

As far as the Hemi, I dialed in the bellhousing yesterday and have been sorting through all of my hardware and brackets getting things ready.

Who takes a 440 block to the machine shop in the trunk of an A body? /\ this guy /\

Hey Stan, You gonna have it road ready for Hooters in Williamsburg this year?.....Oh yea, I do have a flat Satellite hood.
