Gonna be a kewl one, Evolvo! Betcha you don't pull up to a stoplight beside another one that looks just like it!

Got the headers and exhaust, brake booster and master cylinder done on the Plymouth this week. Also started running some of the fuel and brake lines and making the rear coilover mounts. Going to install the floor for the final time on Monday, should have the body off the frame and on the rotisserie by the end of the week.... Got the wiring harness back from the guy who did the mods on it and the ECU. He really did a great job cleaning up the factory's wiring mess!!!!!

did some work on the donovan 735. crower has the TI rods they said there making the 2 rods .that is not what i wanted at this time. there was some screw up . they do not like calling guys back on there part .so it all falls down on me like i am the s.o.b now .oh well

Interesting car, I've never seen anything like that. Maybe that's why I like it so much. Kudos on the website too.... although the LOUD noise it makes when you open it up was a little embarassing when I opened it up at work..

I'm guessing you have solid motor mounts?

If not, do you have any special plans for keeping the belt tight/not stretching the belt when the motor torques?

LOL Yes there solid mounts really wanted to keep a really clean look and feel for the front of the motor and im running a powersteering pump mounted to the driver side of the motor down low and being im ging to run a race pump mech. fuel pump its narrow and has the inlet and outlet lines cmming out of the top of it. soit will clear nicely.

Hey George, that is one wild ride! The crazier the better. Really like the tilt front

Thanks! The tilt front end makes working on the engine way easier if need be, and the top of the hood will open traditional style but these big fenders are almost impossible to work over ecs with the hood the way i moved the opening up higher. But still have to fit all my body gaps and get hood fit to new hinges and i'll be ready to break car down and off the frame so i can start smoothing it up aswell as the suspension and rear end and get my air ride in.

Thanks for the compliments! sorry about the volume, I'm just learning web design and haven't figured out how to control the volume yet...let's just say it's no where near as loud as the car LOL

Nice 65....my first driver was a 65 Newport 4dr hardtop with a 383. Wild car, all original and fast as hell. One day the oil pump died and bye bye Newport.
