    rear was powder coated ,Then the 3.23 suregrip installed with the disc setup.also have the rear hotchkis sway bar to install. used dr diff relocate kit for future larger wheels.Engine is almost done ,edelbrock heads should motivate the mopar performance shortblock. 727 was also redone.   **And yes  it still says 440, later for the sticker swap**

    I'm drooling over what looks to be insulated garage doors. My garage feels like a frickin' cryogenic chamber.

    The car looks nice too. Lol

    Put the insulation in the doors last year,It helped. They are just that sheet insulation from home depot .Cut them and put `em on.

    Engine in through the bottom! Man you can spend countless hours just hunting the small stuff down!  found out the hard way that I have 1 shock plate from a 7 1/4 rear :clueless:
     Still cannot decide on valve covers,I do have a fancy for the fabbed aluminum ones! next up is finding a magnum front end for accessories.I have an la block with magnum eddy heads so I am hoping all 93-up magnum stuff bolts on.

    Photobucket worked fine for me.  But I haven't post many or large photos.

    Here's the tutorial: http://www.cuda-challenger.com/cc/index.php?topic=70049.0

     Finally road worthy!  thanks to all your great tech postings and answers to my questions. don`t hate on the camaro in some of the pics. I still need to do some small stuff to finish it up( wipers, a/c vents, etc...). I can only imagine that what has taken me 10 months to accomplish would have taken without this site.
     It rides good although the rear suspension is a little to stiff even if it was a track car! mopar xhd, billsteins, hotchkis sway bar? Wow it has tons of torque just barely touching the gas pedal. Lots of looks and thumbs up`s and picture taking at the beach this past weekend .
     And yes I can stand back and be proud of my blood sweat and money in my car, but next time I will purchase one done Lol  !!!   
    The blue 73 is one i sold 2 years ago
