Cool! Glad to see you back on this, Mike. This is one of my favorite projects on here. Do you still have the white Dodge shop truck you built?

I am too Falcon, at least with it in the shop it's great motivation to actually work on it (although as mentioned time to do anything is kind of tight).
Funny you should mention the old white Dodge. I pulled it out of the back shed the beginning of the week and did a bit of work on it. I really haven’t done too much with it since I got the El Camino done and when/if the market comes back up a bit I may sell it. It is a neat truck though, and I am considering using it for my vacation back to Illinois in Aug. Anyway since you asked I went ahead an updated that thread with what I did today,

I don't know if I could get any better pictures than are already on pages 3-6 already. You can see much on the engine side because of the engine, and that still needs a lot of work which I can't do until the engine is back out.
I really want to get back to work on it, but it seems like right now every time I turn around there is another project that has a bit higher priority
I've got a pretty good motivator (9 year old grandson) who asks about once a week when are we going back to work on it.I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....

Not much forward movement on it for the last couple of months. I've been kind of waiting for it to cool off a bit before I tackle the rear end swap.I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....

Well again not much of an update, but the truck is not completely forgotten. I'm still looking for a builder transmission and might finally have a lead on one.
Every 6 months or so I run the engine a bit......long enough to bring it up to operating temp and circulate the oil. Yesterday was the day and a shot a short video enjoy.

The ol' Hemi sounds fantastic, and talk about a quick, easy start!! That's a classic, and the six carb setup is just plain killer!Roger

Looks great! I like your engine cart on #103.The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.
