I will post updates as I begin assembly.

Hemi Jack - Yes, I did add the torque boxes. Car is coded for S15 hemi suspension, so I guess it could have or should have come with them.

JS29R0B - For the undercoating I used the SEM truck bed liner. can be sprayed on nice and thick (put on 2 coats) and has a very nice texture.




VERY nice job! The car and color look awesome! As for the torque boxes, I have owned several '70 340/383 4-spd 'Cudas and all were A31/A36 axle pkg cars and none were equipped with torque boxes. I believe only the U, V and R-code cars came with them. However, I have seen many Los Angeles built 340 and 383 'Cudas with just the front torque boxes.

WOW, it's going to be AMAZING. One question, did you do your pedal assembly and if so, where did you get the bearings and bushings for it?
