thank you for the positive feedback.  Much appreciated.......

What do you think the car will weigh when finished?


over 300 lbs is my best guess at this point....  :)


Lenco Top gear shaft came in today.  Mopar Performance starter & flywheel should be later this week (hopefully)






the shaft depth will be determined once all the pieces to the puzzle arrive.

thanks!  It's coming along....

Little overdue, but better late than never.....

Jason came down to the shop recently to finalize some of the details for the rendering he is doing of the Challenger... 

Perfect weather for a 2.5 hour drive.......


www.jasonrushforth.com   Can't wait to post the final draft :)  the fender, Baer Brakes, and tires were mocked up again.  Here are a couple pics....



The driver's door had some creases, dings, etc. that needed some attention.  Still more work to do... (on the fender as well obviously)

Looks like you have done alot of work already.  Sometimes the best things come to those that wait.
Got a pretty good start on my M46 optioned Barracuda restoration but now it is on hold till I can gather more funds.  Still need a few parts for it.  SIU Graduate 75 AAS Automotive Tech, 94 BS Advanced Tech Studies, 1997 MSED Workforce Education and Development

The roof also needed help...   Someone or something sat across the roof- leaving eyebrow shaped creases.  A previous owner painted the car, but the dents were filled with bondo...  The roof looks 100 times better after some hammer and dolly work.
