Your being way too nice. I been slacking, I have been loafing as my dad would say. I'm ready to get back going on it. Its gonna be the definition of a sleeper.

LOL,

Stephen, I said you did awesome work, and you do....I didn't say you did a lot of it at any one time, lol!!

Jeez, I just get my stroker together and a few of you have me wanting that FI Tech fuel injection!

LOL. That just made my morning.

I debated a long time but when I did the cost comparison of the FI tech vs buying a new HP type 4150 and a decent pump the cost premium really wasn't all that much.

I have to be honest, having a well-tuned EFI would encourage me to drive the car(s) more often. This one is a driver and I'm thinking of putting one (assuming this goes well-which it should) on my 427" SBF Cobra and even the 517" Stroker in the Charger.

Nice, Bobby. I'm partial to early As since my first car was a '65 Valiant sedan.

The wife said she wanted a new SUV

In all seriousness, Stephen Daurity is THE MAN, and they're GREAT PEOPLE to deal with. He made fitting these tires fit in the wheelwells of a near 50 yr old A body look easy. I got to say the 8.8 Explorer narrowing trick is super slick.

My very favorite part of being part of the MoPar Family is getting to meet and making friends with so many great people like the Dauritys.

BTW, I hunted and hunted for my old 340 Rear springs, I had a PERFECT SET of them for years but I reckon they got thrown out :-(

Anybody knows of a decent set let me know, thanks!

I have some 340 Formula S springs I don't use anymore. They have some use on them though, I would part with them cheap.

PM sent, thanks!

I'd love to do the firm feel springs but don't really feel like tapping the 401K to do it :-(

I've been thinking about XHDs but wondering if maybe the 863/864 2800 lb Super Stock springs might be better for the power I'm cranking?

Went with the XHD's, Mancini was running a sale....$210 a set with the Moparts discount. One more thing to check off the "Needs" list.

Rear end shots with the new springs, might lower the front spring eye but we'll see once it all settles out....or we hide a couple nitrous bottles, lol

Flamin' awesome build! Kudos for having the vision and sticking to it.

I like a car with a little rake.

That yellowish paint is so sick, both in a bad way and a good way. I cannot decide whether I love it or hate it.

One thing for sure, it's a very cool ride and will be fun to drive. I bet you'll get compliments every time you hit the street. And, that bigblock in smallblock clothing under the hood will be a hoot.

R.

Thanks, Buddy!

Actually, I think the color is pretty cool and somehow seems to suit just what the car is. I want to tailgate with it and just have fun! And I know it's going to run, drive, handle and STOP light years better than most people would ever expect it to,

Just ordered some F/R Hellwig swaybars for it and and with good shocks and the serious rubber at all 4 corners it should handle quite well for what it is. The 8.8 out of the explorer has 3.5" tubes so it will help balance the F/R distribution even more.

Stephen Daurity is awesome, so happy to have him working on it. I'm in no rush so he works on it when he on between his 'bread and butter' jobs...and it's really cool how much in synch we are with how it's been morphing and progressing.

So it's all going to plan and I think it will be so quirky-cool and 'one-off' that it has a lot lot of appeal from all kinds of people (I recently discovered there are a lot of Enthusiastic Wagon fans, a cool sub-culture I now have a membership in.

I hope people will really get a kick out of it and enjoy it too.

Wagon looking good, Bobby!

Thanks Hollis

I still can't believe the 285 width Tires fit in the wheel wells with only the 3/4" offset springs. Well that and the 3" narrowed 8.8 Explorer rear. It's cool, the pumpkin is offset from the factory 3" so you only need to cut the tube on one side to center it and then you just use another of the shorter side axles, how slick is that?

Now my question is....how in the heck do you you get any decent size exhaust under one of these early A bodies!!
