Well it's been awhile... It should be ready for this season. The rules have changed drastically in street stock , any camshaft,180deg race headers,3" exhaust ( from 2 1/4") , race shocks,lots more fabrication allowed etc...all good stuff for a Dodge as compared to a Chevy! I tried to tell them! ::)   :lol: I quit my job as a tech inspector, this season would have been my 25th year. I decided to help Darcy with his car. Much more fun on this side of the fence! :grinyes:  Built a 3" exhaust using mandrel bends. I'm pumped this thing is going to rock a few Chevys worlds!  :biggrin:
Here are a few newer pictures....

It was a numbers matching 70 Hemi Cuda when we started? :dunno: Sold off all the hemi stuff to fund the rest of the project. We took off the vin and fender tags and pop riveted then to a tool box for garage art! :icon16:

Brad, you DID save those Hemi lug nuts, right?  Those go for a pretty penny on Ebay...  :woohoo:
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

Just thought I would put in my two cents, I raced a '72 Cuda on a high banked 1/2 mile dirt track. I used an 8 3/4 rear and had no trouble with it. I got a 6.20 gear for it and shut the Chevy's down. From what I was told the 9" ford takes more H.P. that the dodge 8 3/4.

Very true but he had a few floater rear ends so.....
