Chad Bittle Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Well haven't made much progress really since I started here, just finished my little side job for the season so should have more time to work on the car. But here's some pic's of what we've done so far. Tore out most of the interior, gonna keep the original dash, steering wheel and the power windows/door locks. http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk162/chadbittle/0608081317.jpg Motor is out http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk162/chadbittle/0608081318-1.jpg And got most of the floor cut out.... http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk162/chadbittle/Avenger2.jpg Just gotta trim out a little more when we get the wheel tubs, ordered the ladder bars this weekend.... http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk162/chadbittle/Avenger1.jpg About the ride height we want... http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk162/chadbittle/Avenger3.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Hmm, why not go to manual windows and locks? Why keep the center console (I understand the dash)? Going to gut the old dashes out and put a plate in for aftermarket dashes? And the important part, what's going in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The center console is gonna be gone, just hadn't taken it out at the point in the pic. Kinda like the idea of keeping the car in as much street trim as possible. Probably not gonna go faster then 10.00's anytime in the near future so that little bit of weight isn't gonna hurt anything. Taking the guardrails out of the doors will make a HUGE difference anyway. And yes we're gonna take the dash apart and put in some Autometer guages. I'm taking the 440 out of my dad's '72 Challenger, just have to give him his aluminum heads back for his new one:( so the 906 cast heads will go back on until I can afford new ones after its built.

Scotty2Hotty Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Using a narrowed 9"? I'd love to see the suspension set up, I think that's where you'll make your money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Bittle Posted November 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 She can't keep an eye on her car all the time, by the time she realizes its gone you can have the motor out and then you have to finish, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
