Part I  |  Part II

Well, it's off to be painted.  I was about to put it on the trailer and decided to take this pic. The bodywork was pretty much done and it was almost ready for paint.
Home at last! The bumper brackets were installed.
Another shot from the side. This shows the brackets that I fabricated for the Griffin radiator.  Also, the Perma-Cool HP 16" electric fan.
I finally got the Sharktooth grille installed along with the hood latch support brackets and lower filler piece. This is the hood I got from AAR Quality Fiberglass.  This is one of the nicest fiberglass bolt-on hoods I've seen.  It utilizes all the original mounting hardware and just bolts-up like a factory steel hood.  I chose to black it out.
Here's a close-up shot of the hood and the PLYMOUTH emblem that I re-painted and polished.  It also shows off my Sharktooth grille! This is one of my favorite pictures.  I do need to clean the tires up in the front, though.  After sitting for a while, the BFG's have a tendency to turn brown a little bit.  Luckily, it washes off easily.
A shot of the car with the hood on. After about 12 hours of work customizing where the back seat used to be, along with carpet and all, I got the seats and shifter installed.  It's starting to look like a car again!!
Here's a shot from the driver's side.  You can see the carpeted panel in the back.  Nothing but business in there!! Notice that I added a billet inline Jaz fuel filter.  There's also a Fram canister-style filter in the rear at the fuel cell.
This is a shot of the trunk before I had all the paint/body work done.  Well, it's a start! Here's the trunk after all the detailing was finished.  I think it came out great!
One more pic of the interior.  I have it completely finished, tach and all.  I realized after this was taken that I forgot to put the ashtray in.  Notice the Tuff-wheel style Grant wheel.  I installed an original Tuff-wheel horn button on it.  Looks factory to me! This is the 3" exhaust I got from Torque Technologies.  It comes mandrel-bent and ready to install.  I opted to weld it up instead of using the clamps that they give you with it.  It's much cleaner this way.  I still have to install the cross-over tube.

Well, here it is!  Finally done.  Whatcha think?  I think it came out pretty good! 

Here's a different angle.  I really like the stance!
