    Driving car now. :)  This is so much fun to drive. Tight!  Sway bars, big shocks, 11 inch 'Cordoba' disc brake conversion, Frame connectors welded in, TCI Streetfighter 2800-3200 stall converter, Shift kit and spool rear 323 gears.
      Even bought an original remote mirror. Taking to body shop so as to be ready for interior.
     Body man says car will be ready for 'Shades of the past' and 'Rod run'. Pigeon Forge Tennessee In about 3 weeks.

    Great build.
    I like the fact that you used the factory bench w the arm rest.  Rare item to begin with. The mechanical upgrades should really make the car feel real good on the road.  You did some really neat upgrades.
    The W1 white always brings back memories of Vanishing Point (0riginal 1971 version.)
    I  know I'm dating myself, but I saw the movie while it was in theaters as a new film.  It started me on a lifelong love of Dodge Challengers, buying my first one at the time by selling my comic book collection. It was a 70 383 RT automatic in Y1. 
    Good luck with your car, it has turned out spectacular!
