Computer crashed and has been down for a week....  :pullinghair:GRRRR!!!  OK I've attached a few more pics of the engine, interior and suspension (Not the greatest quality pics). The details on the car are listed below.  I've had it for 16 years,  (original 318 2bbl car) bought it when I was 15 going to school and working part time.  I drove it for 3 years and then had to park it go to college.  It sat in the weeds at a friends farm for ~7 years before I pulled it out and started tearing it down.

Can't wait for spring time to get it out of the garage again and light up the nitto's (and the chivy guys)..... 

Body and interior:
72 front and rear bumpers
AAR spoiler
Custom flush mount LED side marker lights
Battery relocated to the trunk
Corbeau Front Seats
Stock Rear Seats Custom covered to match
Rocky Mountain Dash custom guage panel with Autometer Cobalt guages

Wheels and Tires:
Foose Nitrous 18" rear, 17" front
Nitto NT555 295-45-18 rear and 245-45-17 front

Suspension and Chassis:
Chris Alston Chassis works ladder bar rear suspension with Varishock coil overs
Mopar Frame Connenctors, Chassis works roll bar kit
Wilwood Disc Brakes all around
Braced 8-3/4" rear, 30 spline Strange axles, Detroit locker

Engine:
.40 over 440 (Block Decked)  11.1:1 comp
Balanced rotating assembly
Ede' aluminum heads (CNC ported)
All rollered
2-Carter 650's on a ported Offenhauser 360 degree intake
Meziere Electric water pump
Aeromotive Electric Fuel system
TTI 2" Headers
3" exhaust with Magnaflow's out back
MSD ignition
TCI street fighter trans,  Super street fighter converter.

Lot's of Mopar fun!!!
