I normally do small block stuff, but late last year I decided to enjoy my Coronet this summer and drive it all rusty and original. This meant that I had to build an engine and trans. Not to mention all the other stuff like brakes, fuel...... Anyways I took some pics of the 440 almost complete on the stand. Check em out and tell me what you think.

Very nice job on the 440. Aren't the valve covers installed on the wrong sides?

Fine job of detailing Dave, especially for a first attempt! It took me a long time to get to that level. If you'd like to get your alternator and starter restored to match the quality and depth of detail on your other components, let me know. Dixie Restorations will be glad to help you.

If any of you are attending the Mopar nats this year, this car will be there. Hopefully I can drive it down blasting 8 tracks the whole way!

Darren, thats the car I sold to my brother. It will turn more heads than a restored version. Believe me! We will have it on Brice road on Thursday and Friday night....

Should run well thanks to Bob K.!!

Dave, you will be helping my brother with the hemi one day soon, this will be the car it goes in!

Hi Mike

I assumed it was the same car... what color? I've been driving my rusty one around for a few years now and having plenty of fun, but getting Dave Dudek's help building a Hemi for that car sounds like LOTS of fun!
