    Well I got all the welding done on the frame, just have to clean some of them up. So I decided to pull it back to the barn and set the body on the frame and do some test fitting. Plus I needed to make some space in the barn to store a couple cars. lol I wanted to keep pictures along the way so I hamed it up... lol

    Anyway, here is my progress so far:

    Nope

    Looking for a 318 motor and trans. Want to stay Dodge even thou I have a 411 posi chev rearend. Traded parts for the rear with the neighbor. It has disc brakes already so now all 4 are. I'm not looking for a fast car just somethin that I can say I built from ground up on my own and drive whenever I wqant without having to fix it all the time. Learned my lesson when I put the 350 in the Fiero. Kept braking things.

    Well

    The 360 isn't much better then the 318. When they started that lean burn crap they really messed up a nice motor. I'm still shopping and thats aways down the road yet. Plans change. Have to cut off my rear shock mounts now and build something different. You would not beieve how HI this thing sits. Cant really tell in the picture but somehow I need to drop the back a few inches. Another thing that will drive what motor goes in it is cost. I'm trying to have this a driveable car for 5000. Right now as it sits and I just got it titled as a 1917 Dodge Roadster PU, I have 2100 into it.
