Looks great! I like the white headers. I've been looking for a place that can do a white ceramic coating on the headers for my 440...

This car is a factory 4 speed R/t ,but the numbers engine is long gone . With that I want to mimic that someone early on replaced it with a hemi . So, white headers like back then . I even have a set of purple zoomie header mufflers.

Very cool. I'm restoring my '68 back to stock but I want to add some day two touches to it as well. Basically like you are doing...mimicking if someone bought the car new and added some aftermarket parts to it shortly after...

Looks very nice, fantastic work! :cheers:

Where do you source your brake lines & e-brake cables from?

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

     Wow, the car is going to look awesome when finished. You think that you will have it ready for summer shows?

      I see the Hemi is in, up from the bottom. The only way to go. :2thumbs: I had not read anything about the motor that you installed. Is it stock or warmed up?

Is 800 cfm big enough for that Deep Breather?

I like the looks of the single carb. on a Hemi. Looks more NASCARish... :2thumbs:

Both wheels look good, but I'm partial to steel wheels, especially on a hemi car.   :yesnod:
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

I like the body color painted rims on this particular car. I don't like the purple exhaust. LEON.

 The keystones with the purple mufflers are awesome.  Stock exhaust with the Steel wheels
Looks  awesome either way!
