Ha! Yep I have some new Chrysler keys that I have to get cut too! That stupid plastic thingy is nice for spotting in the garage when you're looking for it though. I don't know which trunkmat I bought but it was the more expensive one that Nigel at National Moparts sells. I can't remember the brand,  but it was probably REM.

Well: We all know how the little projects go... I figured I would add an electric fuel pump to prime the carbs after sitting as I won't be injecting it until next winter most likely. Well, it's really getting crowded under there with the 3 inch exhaust, factory rear sway bar etc. Built a mounting bracket that bolts to the tie down bracket holes but then decided to somehow utilize the exhaust heat shields to help keep heat away from the fuel lines. I have to scratch my head a bit more but right now it looks like I'm going to just build a new heat shield out of aluminum rather than modify and probably make a mess out of the stock heat shields.
So I'll be pounding out a new shield after I get back from the MATS, so much for the quickee pump install, I'll most likely have about 25 hours into this project if I hit a workable shield in the first try that is.

I have a set of date coded 390's for it with original trim rings and centers. They are already powder coated black with argent blown in on the front sides. It drives nice. I had to rework the fuel lines and wrap them in insulation unfortunately. The lowered shaker setup holds the heat in more than it should.
