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.
Hire 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
