Steve,
The car started as a stock 273/904 500. About ten years ago, I started a 
complete restoration and it morphed into a race inspired setup. I loved the race 
car on the street look, but what a pain to drive on the street. This past fall, 
I decided to have the paint redone without the graphics. I also removed the A990 
grille, hood with scoop, battery in trunk, battery shutoff, A990 inspired 727 
trans and associated cooler, headers, etc. I installed my stock hood, 1969 GTX 
exhaust manifolds, moved the battery back to its stock location, pulled the 4.10 
in favor of a 3.23. I am just finishing up the 833 trans swap and my original 
grille is supposed to be completed at the polisher's later this week. I kept the 
496 stroker, but repainted it the old aqua color and changed the rocker covers 
from the fabricated aluminum (no longer fit with manifolds) to an old Direct 
Connection set that I had. Still have the SS springs set into the longitudinals 
as well as the mini tubs, but they aren't "in-your-face" obvious. The engine 
really should be de-cammed now, but I think that I am going to wait a bit on 
that. I have the base model tail lights and trunk letters replacing the 500 
stuff as they were too far gone to be serviceable. I also removed the 500 wheel 
well and rocker panel trim. I am giving serious consideration to replacing the 
prostars with custom width steelies in order to look more "period". Not sure yet 
on that. The car is also set up as a radio and heater delete ride. I am hoping 
that this will be a more pleasent street machine now with the same flavor of 
the super rides that I saw cruising Woodward and Telegraph back in 1965. This 
renovation should be completed in about two weeks. I've been at it every day. 
Good thing that I am retired.

 Get America back to work.
Buy American.

Hi John, It's always good to have another "voice " on the mail list.  I am very 
interested in how your car was set up and how it will be when done. I am 
building a 1964 Dodge as I would have done it in the mid 60's. Similar to yours 
as a nostalgic Street machine. Welcome back..........................MO
