That came to a sudden stop when I was assembling the bell housing/clutch.

I used the original flywheel that was in the car three years ago but replaced the scatter shield with the correct dated 513 bell housing....After putting the clutch together I found the starter wouldn't fit...

I quick call the BREWERS confirmed that I was trying to use an aftermarket 11" flywheel instead on the stock 10 1/2 deal.....valuable lesson learned. The correct one is being UPS'd as we speak.

Engine won't go in until next week




we ran into that same problem with my dads charger last spring..

Who'da thunk that 3-4 years ago, that the Barrel 'Cuda would turn into that!! If only there were more success stories like this one!




Nice looking car, keep it up. There are still some good stories out there...

Yea Troy, that is a nice car, Julius restored that one a couple years back. It was a nice dry Western car, original in most respects, and a pretty much rust free car to start with, pretty easy restoration.

I don't know how, but my post got deleted. Alan, would you be willing to post your assembly list/order for the e body for us rookies if you have one printed out? I'd also like to know how you go about referbing and storing all the small assemblies. You have to be one organized dude to be able to assemble this thing so quickly. Enquiring minds want to know! I am going to be downloading a gob of pics from this post. Gotta be helpful when my turn comes.

Lindy


I’m listening.

That car come w/ magnum 500's?




i was going to ask the same thing.
nice to see something different. don't believe i have ever seen a sassy green car w/500's. i bet once the vinyl top goes on it'll look super.

man, i just can't believe how quickly this is turning out. gotta love an inspired man.

Well i guess that depend's on your view of world famous, i live on the other side of the world and have known about the car sitting on the barrel's for quiet a few year's thank's to cars in barns.
Iv also had a few people i know mention this car to me in conversation.
So the question is...just how world famous is the world famous barrel cuda.

Oh BTW iv loved watching the progress

Man... that car looks great. It's going to be such a shame when you have to scuff that roof to apply the vinyl top. Personally, I might leave it as is and allow the future owner to make that call. It's not quite as easy to reverse as a microphone in the glovebox and not everyone loves a vinyl top... factory equipped or not. You make most of us look bad Alan. You are running circles around my Bee project...
