Thanks again for all the nice comments. If you're looking for other pics of the resto in-progress, search E-tek or Chili Challenger....

Here's a vid of the first engine start up, after puliing it again to repalce the oil pump and drive (long story - also in another thread) and paint the intake blue.

Thanks guys - really appreciate the kind words...

I missed the big MOPAR show by one day - but it was pretty-much rained out anyways. Another big show this weekend that I'll be attending.

Did I mention I had the car re-appraised? My insurance agent called me because they thought it came in low....so I had a much more experienced guy do it and it came in at $35,000.00. That'll do!

As well, I re-did the oil gauge with a larger-faced dial and brass tubing. No hot oil showers for me!!
