so new panels through the front:

new front valance
NOTE: we are moving the signal/indicator/park lights out 2 inches each side (i.e. widening them) and widening the centre relief slightly, so the intercoolers/radiator etc gets slightly more air, and to enhance the wide car low stance look.

with the new hood on:

front of car assembled for fit.
as I have mentioned be used insert nuts and made sure everything fits without shims, so panels are under no stress they just fit/bolt into place, perfect consistent gaps all round (including allowance for paint thickness etc).

..and this is how it looked before I started to make MORE changes, and sanding & primer etc....:

and I put 69 tail light panel in it (which I am sure I will be flamed for)

semi-final body prep 1

sanded, ready for primer..:

and another pic of the 69 rear

Lookin sweet ! Keep the updates coming !

Looking great! Are you having a shop do all the work? Or are you doing it through a shop/yourself/with friends?

I am doing as much as I can myself. Although, the body work I have a great guy doing it here for me, he does a lot of show cars etc,. I'm no expert in bodywork, but feel much better /confident at the mechanical aspects of the build. Trying to do as much as I can myself.
Still tons of stuff to post!
Thanks for the support of everyone here on Moparts

So it's on to the front suspension, steering, & brakes. Here my new K-Member arrives from MegaParts in the US. They turn RB K Members into Hemi ones but changing the engine mounts and adding a skid plate etc.
I also got the engine mount brackets from them.

after it arrived I had the K member blasted and powder coated, including the engine mount brackets (turns out we will be painting them so may have been a waste of time etc.) however here is is as I start to assemble it:

Here's the parts list for the front K Member (I'll cover brakes, etc. later):
> Firm Feel Stage 2 Power Steering Box
> Firm Feel 11/16 Tie Rods
> Firm Feel reinforced Lower Control Arms
> Firm Feel Greasable lower Control arm pivots & Poly Bushes (installed)
> Firm Feel 1.06 in Torsion Bars
> Magnum Force Double Adjustable Upper Control Arms
> QA1 Double Adjustable Front Shock Absorbers
> Firm Feel 1-1/4 in front Sway Bar Kit
> RMS Adjustable Front Strut Rods

I'll post some Pictures of the parts: LCA's
