Hoping to have the power train in by Christmas and a good part of the dash and cluster in as well.





I'm hoping to have it finished by April for Vegas.

Really does look nice. Doing great work. Keep it up. When I look at pictures like these it does help the motivation level.

Awesome read. I LOVE the gold/black combo. My buddies 72 charger rallye is like that and I can't wait to see it together.

A question though on the 340...are those the correct manifolds for 71? I always thought the 340 manifolds were more swept and header like. Maybe those were from an earlier year.

Again cool build...keep it up!

Thanks I didn't realize that. They don't look that much different than the small block log manifolds. Interesting.

Under carriage looking like a car again.



Factory marking put back on, we took lots of photos of all marking found when we disassembled the car.



Even have the paint drips

NOS manual mirror



Hood pins & Emblems installed





Original hood had "95" written on it with a white marker.



New hood had the number added. There was several numbers and special marking found during the disassembly. All will be added.
