The car has a cool stance with the engine in it.

How is the interior going to look?

Understeer is hitting the wall with your front end.
Oversteer is hitting the wall with your back end.
Horsepower is how fast you can hit the wall.
Torque is how far you can push that wall after you hit it.

Thanks for all the compliments! I just ordered some seat covers from Ebay. The door panels were originally blue, but I painted them black. I still need a carpet and a headliner. I custom fitted a 70's aftermarket steering wheel to give it that day 2 look.

Thanks for the compliments! I used to have centerlines on the back, but I like the chrome mags better. I am either going to go with cragars or 70 style rally wheels with polyglas tires up front . A lot of pics of these mopars in the early 70's had this set up. I guess the first thing they did was to put bigger tires on the back, but left the fronts alone. I am going for the "day 2" look.

Won't the rear tires hit the quarters when the suspension moves?

I have air shocks on it. I will test it though when I get it running.
