Haven't been able to update this recently as the internet has been down for 5days or so. So here it is.

Front fiberglass wings fitted, quite stable. Grille fitted, awaiting end parts from USA. Glass bumper and hood not yet fitted but all alined.

Doors rubbed down and fitted.

Door bar been fitted in on the drivers side roll cage.

Rear extension parts been welded on now, not finialised yet

Starting to look like a car now.

Paint within the next two weeks. :shock:

Pics. :thumbright:

The car is now in yellow primer (pictures to follow) and is going to the spray shop tomorrow to be painted Plum Crazy.

The engine is currently being put together by Roger Leuty and needless to say is having a touch of NOS.

Few specs of the engine:

512 Stroker Kit (from 440)
Crower roller cam
MoPar Performance Stage VI heads
M1 Manifold and Dominator (to start with) Tunnel ram may follow
Fenderwell Headers
etc


The car has now be re-named Deception and the graphics are currently being looked at by Jeff.
