Your car looks great Al.

I think this is the first time I've seen a "big" pic of it, not just your avatar.

Hey guys, thanks for those comments.  I don't go very far out n about in it.  I put 3k on it in 2 yrs now. But that is off quite a bit. I had 323 gears in it from factory and then put 410 dana in it and didn't change the speedo pinion till a month a go. It had 42k on it when I put it together now reads 44.850. It has been off the road since 1973 and all apart.  Less then one year from now it will be back to original form and I am driving it to carlisle. These may just be the last of the pics of my car with this setup  440-6 4 speed 410 dana 60.  Does anyone wanna come over and give me a big hand putting a 499 in it for a few months?  I seem to be having health issues and cant do anything more then a few minutes without getting sick for some reason. I havent worked 3 hrs in 7 days. Hoping this will pass.

The new engine is a 71 400 block built with a 440 source 4.15 crank, H beam 6.76 rods with 990 floating pins there magnum series pistons  .008 in the hole and valve reliefs for a 700 lift cam,  .039 gaskets The bob weight was like 1456 grams. shaved 214/181 ported 906 heads thanks to (Stroker)  lunati solid cam set at 106 center, and I have a choice of 400 6pk or M1 tunnel ram with 2 660 holley center squirters.  I will lean towards the tunnel ram.Shame to see it just setting on the stand. I have hooker 2 inch by 3.5 headers, and a  hemi 6 qt pan on it, along with hv pump and stock 72 electronic ignition.   Just gonna be a lil torquer engine is all. Nothing big .

VT Mopar, those pics look like they could be an ad in a '70's magazine for Dodge.  Nice.

beautiful shots vt!
i took the liberty of doing some mild photoshop work on one of them, as an example of what i could do for the calendar.



this is a service i could do for the final selected calendar photographs if anyone is interested. free of charge.

i won't do anything false (ie change or add physical things like paint or wheels etc) but only do what any pro photo editor would do for a
high quality magazine spread. for example: removing unsightly objects in the background, adjusting colours, basically just making photos look
like they were shot with the highest quality cameras and lenses.

let me know what you think.
cheers,
aaron

Nicely done Aaron.  :2thumbs:
Truth is, I was planning on photo-editing a great number of the images myself,
but if you want to help, far be it from me to say no. I like your work.
We can split it up if you like.
We have some nice submissions thus far, and the professional photo-editing will only make it that more appealing.

Since you also have a highly trained eye, please let us know if you feel strongly about any of the images or layout.
A few easily stood out. Some are tougher choices than others.
I would like to get a few more shots of interiors, engine bays, just other random shots. I think it would switch it up a bit.
This is a sample layout. OPinions welcome and warranted. Again, its just a sample, and I'd like to have more choices.

October, cuz its spooky...

November
Miss December, just because I see snow

January

February

March

April?

May?

June

or

This has to be miss July....

Miss August, because I see more corn..

or



I will spend time creatively cropping some, punching some up, and doing  little enhancements to make everything pop.
Of course, John, I will size them all the same, and make them layout worthy.
