Lookin GOOD there Nick!

You are an inspiration to our fine Club! :thumbright:
Makes me feel kinda jealous!
I remeber when I had that much enthusiam, back in the 80's
BUT, watching this Super-Runner come to shape in double quick time is wonderful!
I got three projects here 'onthago' and nowt fast is happening at all!

Was that a misprint '30th anniversary', now I really feel bad LOL!
You must have got married in your TEENS I bet?
Best wishes and spoil her rotten!

As its 'HALLOWEEN' I see you have a ghostly apparition in piccy '2', right above the front wheel!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

There must be a hidden story to this Runner???

Thanks for the comments guys, took a long time to make my mind up on the wheels. Duncan made it for me, four wheels for the price of one it had to be the keystones. got loads of other parts that were missing as well. had my last car ten years and had taken it as far as i could without spending silly money on it,with the tri five sold for this build the money was there and buckets of enthusiasm, good news with the 383 it has new shells and crankshaft is perfect also has a new camshaft in it, i was told it has new piston rings,the bores look good from below only light scoring on the thrust side which you would expect to see, so its going in as is.could be running next weekend three days off 36hrs that should see it fired up at least.

after checking the crankshaft shells and torquing all the caps a deeper sump went on, a few coats of mopar orange to the block, and a priming tool from kiwi and the oil system was primed. it was ready to install.
