My goal is to get this running this week. Wire tuck is almost done, installed stock front breaks, axles, seats, shifter and center console. I plan on using the srt-4 front breaks to match the back. But for now this is to get the car running and moving first.Image
Going to wire wheel and paint the clapiers and struts. After the engine is wiring, its time to finish my air ride set up :grin:
Image
front seats are getting redone in black leather.

And it's his progress log... if you don't like it, don't click it.

I'm not a fan of the cars style but I'm not going to come in HIS progress log and jump down his throat.
