    Hi Pasi, sorry my late answer. There is little things going on, but not any updates. Need to get more energy...

    FE5 looks great. Is your car already at home?

    Nope, still at paint shop. Trunk and engine compartment should be painted this week. I'm optimistic to get it back home early February.

    hi Artic,

    I have read good numbers from your engine dyno.  Did you build the engine by yourself of it came as a turnkey crate from US ?

    Trunk is almost ready. Engine is ready to put back to engine bay after many years. Because of MSD distributor coil is recolated to backside of engine.

    Original alternator is renovated as well - both inside and outside.

    http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1utFs2uOvMs/S3-yZE3DSCI/AAAAAAAAC3Y/IsGTGoNbmUo/s1600-h/DSC08867.JPG

    Yesterday we had -32 Celsius, is it someting like -26 in Fahrenheits?

    I couldn't go to my garage, but wanted work with my Barracuda. I picked up grill from garage and started workin inside my house. I love those plastics tabs but luckily couldn't break any of them.

    Long moldings and Plymouth grill plate are original, AAR / Gran Coupe moldings are from PG Classics. Very expensice PLASTIC parts :villagers:

    Trying to get car ready. Very slow progress because I'm working alone at my home garage. Right now trying to get grille, headlight bezels, wheel opening moldigs etc installed.  Autometer mechanical gauges are extra insurance for my 489 cid engine.

    Help and extra pair of hands are more than WELCOME ;)
