360 Mopar is correct!!! Specifically a 2001 Magnum. Boosted with Holley efi.;)

New heads came in. Looking for a better intake. Motor is not your typical belly button power. Will post more as I start to build it. Any quesses? One hint, first generation of this engine started in 1964. Also not a Chevy.

These are what factory fenders look like. I dug through over 1/2 inch of bondo just to see how they worked it. If I could find fenders that were saveable then they would stay. But,they just dont exist in my tax bracket. Thanks for all the welcome backs!!

Hey guys, been awhile. Had a few classics since I built the REO but, nothing beats driving what you build. This is gonna be a slow build as time is sparce these days. Got the car built poorly as a gasser. been collecting parts since last fall. The fenders on this car weighed about 100 pounds...

Just a thanks to everyone on this forum whose projects kept me motivated. Finishing the REO allowed me to trade even for a more family cruise night car. Hopefully the new owner will appreciate all the work. In the meantime I'll be cruisin comfy in my 1955 Pontiac mild custom.

Just got registered today. Titling was easy as it was a New Hampshire car with paperwork already. Car is inspectable. As a little side note....Im a state inspector. But it is legal. I dont feel right rejecting others if my own isn't up to par. Thanks for all the kind words everyone!!

Kenny. I live in New England. How am I gonna plow snow without good tires? 😀

Decided I liked the whitewalls better so i ground down the other 3 tires. A couple more beauty shots.

Almost road ready. a few more things to do. Heres a couple of short vids.
