i notice my comments per picture don't show for me to explain some of the stuff thats going on.

Basically I got the car from L.A. (Pomona) about this time last year, tore into it..worked on it till about September, when I finally moved out and got my own place, between that and cold weather I just collected some stuff for it and I have my own garage and storage now. I'm settled and going at it pretty good.

I've been doing the underneth of the car recently, while having Les Terrel of TNT performance deal with my engine and transmission. He used to run drag cars down in FL, some of youy might be familiar with him. he owned and ran a Sox and Martin Mitsu' Hemi Challenger for a while among other cars. So he set me up with a 72 360, Eagel 4" stroker crank with 340 rods and forged pistons, bored 60 over so we now have 414 c.i. Stock large port heads with a larger 2.02 intake and some porting. Engle Cam, I found an LD340 intake and a Demon Sizzler carb.

Right now he's doing the Transmission (904) and beefing it up a good bit for the stroker. I rebuilt the 8 1/4 rear and threw in a SG and a newer 3.55 gear. 6 leaf 2" over leaf springs, sway bars and front end rebuilt are next.

And, I'm probably forgetting things but you can ask and I will tell.

Oh, and looking to acheive this effect..

Since i had so much and Tom likes to have pics and not links, I thought I'd start posting stuff from that point on.


This sway bar is an Addco, I know a lot of guys aren't big on Addco rear bars and some even the fronts. But really the front bars aren't so bad, this is a 1 1/8" thick, and the brackets mount in the stock location, only think i will change is construct the sway bar tabs for the control arms and weld them on.

my 74 Challenger I had had an OLD Addco bar on it and someone just mounted it to the frame with the L brackets

So i did it right and made the brackets, welded them on and they looked like the factory raised-angled brackets.

That looks great...but I am a bit biased

I was thinking you had a '74 Dart Sport

It was a 74. I went E-body there for a while because I was in the mood for something a bit more exotic. I got it for $5000 and drove it all the way to Louisville area from Cleveland. Its a great car that's being well taken care of after my restoration
