  I can't wait to see that stroker 440 source internal Big Bad Mopar get screwed and glued into place my brother. Oh Yea.

Thanks again for all of the great feedback.  Sorry Dave, probably just body shops around here.  Like I said I only wish you were closer so you could do my work!

Apederso2, I'm in Grand Island.  not to far down the road.  You should bring your car to the Roy's Mopar show that is usually in May.  i would love to see your Chally!  Doubt if I have mine show ready by then but you never know.

Hemiken, I can't wait to see the 512 stroker in place and come to life.  i'm thinkin it will shake the whole town when it starts up.

R/T hedkace - hang in there, I'm sure yours will look as good or better given a little time and the al mighty cash we all need to make these things come back to life.

No new pics tonight, had to take my daughter to gymnastics tonight.  Will try for more tomorrow!

Mike you are moving along at a good pace and you may have it ready to show by this summer. The pictures remind me of my Cuda project and all the work I went through putting the car back together in my 2 car garage. I would have to say the the paint work is just about the biggest single money outlay. It is hard to budget it in as sometimes they go way over there estimate and never do they run under it. I had my 70 Cuda all ready to spray and it only needed to be washed at the paint shop, masked and sprayed and the cheapest quote I got was $2,400 dollars and that didn't include color sanding or buffing as needed. I went the route of renting a booth and having my buddy help me spray the outside of the car and only cost me $200.00 to rent the shop. I gave my buddy a 68 b-body 8 3/4 rear end for his trouble as he needed one. The pictures look great and thanks for sharing them with us.
