    Back on it's wheels for assembly. Waiting on headers and exhaust to re-install the 340. More shopping to do...

    73 is getting close
    « Reply #32 on: July 29, 2008 - 11:24:42 PM »
    Keeps chugging along... closer

    Here's my previously rebuilt 340 with new paint, new air gap manifold, refinished valve covers, etc. Set to go in. Engine was the only part  we didn't have to replace or rebuild!  :working:

    Also some pics of the Ohio 73 rallye we're stealing all the little parts from, as well as others not so little....

    And even further along. Runs and drives now, almost all the mechanical work is done. New brakes, fuel system, front & rear suspensions. Still need to install exhaust, but it sounds awesome through the open TTI headers!  ;D

    Glass needs to go in, and we need to test fit a few more things before the orange goes on the outside.

    Last days at the body shop. My Challenger is painted & back together. Still some stuff to do, . 8) We've got to install the bumpers and front valence, adjust the front ride height, etc.

    Finishing the interior is going to have to wait until next year, but this way I'll get some time behind the wheel before I've got to put it away for the winter.  :burnout:

    Plated and on the road!  :woohoo:  Got it for the second time on the weekend, and made the 1/5 hour drive home to Toronto yesterday! Pics from last week, when I took it for a test drive and it wouldn't start after we stopped. The ignition decided to take a little break...

    Congratulations - it looks great.  I'm sure you'll be pacing all winter waiting for spring to get it out and go for a ride.
