i love the way the hood looks on the car
it would be funny, if you spary painted 440 on the hood, the way they did the 340.
would you think about painting your engine block the same color as your car?

joe440

door panel design i made for it
the black is the leather looking stuff, and the grayer stuff will be black suede which is also going on the head liner and the seat inserts

challenger

SWEET ,,,, still cant wait to see it all completed

67 GTX

2X on that

joe440

put the front end on just to get the look, we have to paint black behind the grill, cause it just doesnt look good like this

challenger

LOOKING AWSOME just a few more days to go right ? hehehehe

67 GTX

the car is looking great
the hood looks great on it

joe440

my friend let me borrow his tires and rims just to see if they'd fit, it was a long shot but they actually fit dam good, its a 10" tire which i didnt even think was going to fit but they do, The offset is almost perfect, its gonna need to go out about a 1/4" more when i get the rimss just so it clears the leaf springs a little more.

67 GTX

what kind of rims are you gonna put on it?

from what i can see you have at least 1/4 inch if not more you can come out with at least from looking at the rear end pic:

joe440

painted some rustolium in the car and put the dash in

67 GTX

wow, its looks amazing
your doing a great job with it

joe440

dash is all done and wired, made the wiring pannel, tail lights wired, headlights wired, tan the battery cable froms the trunk, painted the front black that shows through from the grill and started cleaning under the front end.Under the dash is white because when working on it, it lightens it up a lot better than doing it all black.

joe440

got the seats back couldnt put them in the car right now were doing a lot of wiring.

can i be adopted into your family just for the space and resources you have!!!!!! your car looks sick and im really glad seeing younger people then myself still having an appreciation for the old hot rods.its hard nowadays with younger kids cause of all the fast and furious mindset there is. and i have to know is there a way i could set up the intake you have for a 340 motor? that is the sickest set up i have ever seen.

joe440

i dont believe you can, not a 100% sure, but i think they only fit on the 413,440 and the 400

challenger

LQQKING GOOD Joe and i have to say you picked the right set of seat for the build ////// KEEP UP THE AWSOME WORK

67 GTX

the mopar cross ram manifolds wont fit a 340

joe440

little update,
finished pretty much all the wiring, bled the breaks, got the steering colum in and the wheel on, not sure if im stickin with the wheel i just had to buy one quick to get it all set up.started working on the speakers too and made the tempelate for them

challenger

Nice are you going to put real leather under them speakers ? just asking as i did that on my challenger and it does look good

joe440

its going to be the same black material as the seat, does real leather do something different for it?

78D200

Wow! Your car has come along nicely! I can't beleive that I lost track of this thread.

How is the motor coming a long?

BuckNeccid

You could simulate that intake on a 340. Get or make a set of flanges to fit your intake ports, water passages, etc, then bend some pipes to where you want them. Add a plenum box, and the carb base bolt slabs, make sure it's all welded together nicely, and there ya go. Basically a sheet metal tunnel ram turned sideways. Think it all thru before you start, get it planned, measured and ready before you make your first cut.

joe440

not much going on with the motor yet, i well get pics when something happens with it, but i got the radio,amp and sub working today and it sounds great

78D200

What did you end up going with for audio? If you already posted it just let me know and I'll take a look for it.

challenger

hey Joe the leather dosn't do anything , it just adds spunk and looks great to me you can get the same color leather as your seats for it from a vender i just like the way it looks as i got the deep redish brown in mine ... good luck on the motor

joe440

78D200- i dont know all the specific names for each thing but i got a pioneer head set, polk speakers, kenwood1000w amp, and right now im just using my brothers 12"alpine type r for a sub but im going to end up getting two 10"s and putting one on each side of the trunk with the amp and the battery kind of over the gas tank

Challenger-i know what you mean with the spunk, but i spent enough money on the dam material so im going to use it all as much as possible, i think im going to do the center console with the material on it now, motor stuff is being ordered i just got the cam in a few days ago and probably going to order the 440source stealth heads this week. Were also getting the motor/tranny down off that table and put the tranny in the car and get the motor ready to send out

joe440

stuck the seats in, nothings bolted down, i think im going to raise the front seats a little too
