    Dat's a sweet foundation to start on for sure. :2thumbs:

    540" Hemi will surely suckup all the gas (petrol?) on that island!

    I too am on the fence about rocker moulding/fender well moulding.  I hope you have at least painted mirrors.

    Not sure about rear window louvers.  I would say...no.

    Thanks Ragtop. :thumbsup: Yup, black (body colour) mirrors, grille, no louvers, gullwing, Hemi flat black billboard, hood pins, black vinyl top, black shaker bubble but am not sure on the rocker gills yet. As for the Hemi, it will be fine. Just like any car 50hp to 750hp+, you can drive around normally no worries, just when you get into the go pedal the gauge drops. EFI will drastically improve economy but, I could honestly careless  :lol: I don't even look at the gas prices when I fill up. I need it, I have to pay for it so it's inevitable.  ;)

    Of course w/these playtoys, mileage don't even matter.

    Heck, we didn't care about gas mileage when we got my wife's 300c SRT8!

    And yes, an OD trans and EFI will help immensely with gas mileage as long as you stay off the gas (as if!).

    You got a Hemi k-frame or are you just going to use Schumacher mounts?

    Have a NOS Hemi K-Frame Tim sourced for me, he's taken care of the mounts & powdercoat.
    Then engine will come complete & mounted to the frame, run in and ready to drive.  :woohoo:



    Topcat - Thanks mate, oh, as for being late, I forgive you (this time)  :biggrin:

    Congrats on having your 'cuda safe at home. Sorry to hear about the roof. Let me know when your selling some of the b5 interior, as I'm looking for parts to my 70 'cuda. That is if you will ship to Norway.
