Body panels and bumpers are on.

Got the engine and transmission installed.

And now time to install a few parts.

I hope to have her on the road by the end of the year. That's if the credit cards hold out.

That might be the sexxeist rear axle I've ever seen.

6.1 HEMI? That's a beast of a swap into that. I've seen several done with swaps like that, and they always look great.

I can understand why these bold, blocky, flat designs went away, but its a real shame, its such a good lookg.

Yeah it's a 6.1. I haven't fired the engine yet, but I think I have everything I need. The electrical and programming is definitely my biggest concern for this whole project.

If you're running a regular mopar ECU, the basic tune will obviously leave a little to be desired, but it should run pretty well as is. Hiding the harness will be the tough part, but when there's a will (and a billion zip ties) there's a way.

A couple more. Ignore the hideous wheels. They are just there until I can decide what to get.

It's been a very long process to get where I am now. There are some update posts over the last couple of years though in my profile. I think the tags are "restoration progress".

Looks awesome! Very jealous. I love the SRT badge on the front grille...very subtle...

The SRT badge just works here.

This is utterly gorgeous. Definitely keep coming with updates. I'm sure I'm not the only one waiting to hear it purr

I love this. Modern running gear in an older chassis/body always makes me smile. Speedhunters featured this Coronet/Charger combo .
