A little nervous on how the color would look on the car. I looked at several test spray outs and stared at them for weeks. Inside, outside, shade, sunny. I am happy with the color.

Car looks fantastic. I like everything . Stance, color, wheels.

it looks like that red really POPS in the sunlight now, so after a final fluff-n-buff, it will be like the song : ".....so bright i gott'a wear shades !......"

Kickass car / project Galen....RESPECT !!

Keep the updates coming !

Door jams, engine compartment, trunk painted. Fenders on. I am going to have the orange hemi air cleaner cover done in prowler orange also..

I like it ....what's the plans for it cruiser?

I It will get driven a lot. I'm 66. My wife and I are retired. This is our last build so I wanted to put everything in it I missed on the others. It has 3.73 gears and overdrive. Plus comforts like A/C, Heat and Stereo. Pump gas EFI with maybe 110 race fuel and a different tune on occasion. We enjoy the cruise nights, small shows,etc.meeting other car people. We do a lot of just going for a drive with no destination planned. It won't see a trailer unless it breaks. But I do plan to wear out some parts.

I will post pics and video of the engine on the dyno. I was first going to run it on carburetors. Jeff is now leaning towards going ahead and sorting out the EFI before it goes in the car and then final adjusting once in the car.. Holley Dominator ECU. Smart coils and twin accufab throttle bodies.

A little update. My machinist and a person I considered a friend passed unexpectedly. Jeff Dickey, JD Engine and Machine. Columbia, Mo. His partner is finishing the align hone and balancing. I will then pick up my parts and assemble it over the winter. I have been studying Rick Seeman"s 572 KB hemi build on YouTube since mine is basically the same. Thank you Rick for taking the time to video that series. With the help of this forum it will get done. Thought I would post a few more pics on body progress. Hood was painted black yesterday and dash is being prepped. Thanks to Dan Tallant for his paint and fabrication. Did the air filter lid in body color. I am leaning towards leaving the engine aluminum.

Front blacked out. Car will go to buff and polish this week.

Love it!

looking GREAT !!!

Just stunning....
High quality build.
Looking forward to seeing it finished..

Galen: I don't know if you picked up on it, but the last 2 blocks I got had way too small of a hole for a Mopar dipstick. So before you start final assembly be sure to check that. If it's too small it takes a "U" size drill bit to be the proper size. Since most people install the dipstick last it would get them frowny faced if they found out that the dipstick won't come close to going in. Your car is looking good.

Great build!

Thank you Rick. Had to drill mine also. Found a few of the coolant air bleed holes along exhaust side not drilled completely through on mine.I will check everything once I get my parts back home.
