And so it begins

That's the main reason I bought it for the interior pieces. The body was junk. Every fender inner and outer, both quarters, both doors are rotted out. Floor isn't too bad and the frame rails look OK. Will have the dash and steering column for sale once I get it out of there. I also have the 2 bbl single plane intake from the original 273. Is this worth anything?
 
Well, almost a year later and the car is still sitting at the body shop. Should have it back by the end of august. (Not holding my breath) The engine is together and has been on the dyno with some disappointing results, but runs without any issues so that's good. Best pull was 367 hp@5400rpm and 412tq@3600rpm. Unfortunately, the dyno broke after the 4th pull so we really didn't get a chance to dial things in. Still think there is more there so I'll probably try a chassis dyno out once it's together.

Wow...Black...looks good in the pics....:2thumbs:

Are you sticking with the red gut from the parts car in the dart? That would be a Hella sweet color combo!!!:giggedy:
 
Yeah that's the plan. Black carpet and headliner, seats and door inserts red. The colour is the brilliant black metallic from the charger. Pics don't do it justice.
