Its been a long few months......I can say i have enjoyed it though. I spend every hour in the garage that I can. Not sure if its going to hit the road by then end of March or not......its looking iffy.

Started the motor work. Its onyl been sitting in the garage for a few months.
Filed the rings tonight, Clearanced the mains and set the crank.

Interior is moving along and is close to being done. Still need the chrome for the drivers door, Gauges will be very very last.

At this point the list still has a few tough jobs left and those are going to be the slow points.


*Finish Front Brake Lines (i have to bend the SS lines myself due to Line lock ect)
*Assemble Drivers Door
*Gauges (both Factoy and Aftermarket)
*Finish blueprinting and assemble motor
*Dyno motor prior to Install
*Have driveshaft rebalenced
*Front Brake Assy Install
*Build the exhaust
*Steering wheel reconditioning

Thats pretty much it and in that order too.

Still a lot to do. No part is being re-installed without being restored. At this point you will not find a single part/bolt with rust on it, I plan to keep moving in that direction.

I am afraid to do the metrics when its done. I might ship the box of reciepts to my accountant in AZ and let him do it!

EDIT REASON: Updated with current list of ToDo's.

Looks great Terry!

One of the cleanest I have ever seen.

Nice. Can't wait to get home tonight to check the pics on Facebook (blocked at work).

That's why I love smartphones :7

been watching the update pics Terry, I'm impressed with the repair job on the heater box

The heaterbox went a little smoother than expected. I still have to add the brackets for the cover plate (rounded portion) but that shouldnt be an issue at all, Just simple L bracket and Rivets.

Had an issue with the motor last week that kinda put a damper on things. Machine shop was supposed to file fit the rings. Ofcourse I am measuring every nook and cranny and found the rings were pretty fucked up. 3 different gaps on the top rings, non of which were correct (too small) and the second rings werent ever filed at all.

Got the rings filed last night so hopefully thats the last hangup.

Loks great Terry, and the attention to detail is impressive to say the least.

Porting on the head looks magestic.

Nice :thumbsup

there is more than just porting there! if you look closely at one of the angled picts....the port appears larger than the outer casting. Thats becuase it IS. Those paorts are all rewelded to accomidate a larger port entrance and a taller roofline!

Nice! :thumbsup

rotating assy is back out to another machine shop for additional balencing. Looking more like April.

Pictures added.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :)

Awesome, job Terry.

Your resto. Bee is definitely worthy to be featured in a Mopar magazine from start to finish.

Are you going with the carb. or fuel injection.

I am going to keep the 950 Dominator on it.

Looking good, Terry. Solid car. :thumbsup

Boner-inspiring.
