Some progress with rear suspension, firewall insulation, heater, pedals etc.
Funny how FE5 looks like orange in the pictures.

Hi ArcticCuda!

looks really awesome and that FE5 paint colour is also my favourite! :2thumbs:
...and there goes the Challenger, the last american hero, the soul hero, the demigod, the super driver of the golden west. The last beautiful free soul on this planet!

So when do you think you're going to, uh... *cough* finnish it?

Every part you're slapping on this car looks CLEAN.

Thanks, my goal is 1st of May 2008.

By the way, problem is solved. Check out Dr Diff's front hangers. They are awesome!

Parking brake, wipers, brakelines, 3/8" fuel line, tail lights etc.

And yes, cowl ws. from Soft Seal is terrible! I'm trying to fix it or buy a new one from Metro.

ArcticCuda very very nice, looks like my friends project. lots & lots of time....Here is a few photos of his AAR. His car has not been on the road since the mid 70's. always been garaged, ZERO rust. He just took it all apart and doing a very slow restore. Engine is a stock rebuild with a different cam and a good valve job , made 397 H.P. & 417 TQ. on the dyno.....
