Absolutely beautiful paint and bodywork there.  Obviously, I am quite a fan of Hemi Orange.  Seeing the car painted really makes you realize that progress is happening, doesn't it?

Congratulations!

Well tonight, we got the flywheel on, clutch/pressure plate in...to make it short, we got the drive-train complete, tranny and motor are now one, and if all goes well, will stay that way for some time!  Also dropped the whole deal down on the newly painted K-frame.  We had to blast apart the whole front suspension because it was not rebuilt as we had thought.  But by this weekend I should be able to hear it roar :thumbsup:  Sorry no pics tonight, tomorrow is picture day :bigsmile:

GRRRRR AT YEARONE!!!!!  They screwed up my head pipes I ordered!!!!!!! :swear: :stomp: :villagers:  The drivers side head pipe fits great, passenger side's flange was welded on at about a little over 45 DEGREES OFF from where it needs to be! :banghead: :swear:  The picture below is how it looks when it is bolted to the manifold...

Well, called yearone, they didn't ask any questions just said "I'll ship one out to you right away"  So I'm hoping that wasn't the beginning to the "run-around" cycle.  Anyhow, new pics, first one is the nicely blasted then painted front suspension with all new bushings, bearings, etc etc etc.  Second one is the engine bay, and third is what is finished of the interior thus far :thumbsup:

Stacked, you are making some serious headway!   :jumping:

One question though, I dont mean to be picky.  Why not a Rallye cluster, if its a clone?   ???
