You are doing a really bangup job. It has been awhile since I did any "restoration" work, I had forgotten the satisfaction you get as it all comes together. very nice!

BTW, here's the driver's door with the arm rest back in...



and what's wrong with my Wally's battery???
ok, Im not trying to rain on your parade the car looks awesome, but on that door panel. Is the top "line" supposed to be angled like that? It looks crooked. Still, beautiful car.

Whew... when I saw that this thread had Mopar in the title, I expected it to have been started by a certain blood sucker stuck in a twister...

NICE JOB!

Engine detail looks real good in Black!

I like doing engines in Black because it won't show grime as bad as Orange ect.

I assume there are plans for a 440, or perhaps, a 572 Hemi?

Had a '70 Road Runner with a 440 in my youth. Thing was a 4sp with I believe a 4.10 Dana.
It was very quick.

Beep! Beep!

If its what I "think" you're talking about I "think" the panel is twisted down in the front. There are no clips to hold the bottom from behind, just velcro and the arm rest, so I should be able to adjust it. Remember these were meant as temporary. I however, will probably run with them for quite some time.

I've been thinking about black suede or a close imitation for the door panels (in a very similar pattern) and seats. I'm also "thinking" about a set of Lincoln Mark VII power buckets minus the headrests covered in the same material. The buddy who did the door panels has the seats, and one of these days we're going to drop them in there to see what they look like. The Lincoln will also be donating a nearly new set of Flowmasters to the Mopar...

and on a side note the Lincoln will be donating its drivetrain to either my old '75 SWB F100 Ranger (Brown Beast in my gallery) or a '66 Mustang should he happen to find one worth buying...
