Hi folks, new to the board.
Working on a 64 B-Body Polara 500:

- kind of going the pro-touring route (though not nearly as extreme as most of you), with a few goodies:
16x7 and 16x8 wheels with 245/50r16 and 255/50r16s respectively. These will be housing 12.19" 4 piston Wilwoods up front and 11.25" TSMs in the rear. The rear is a 3.55 Suregrip unit.

Here is a pic after installing the rear - the old front end is still in the car with 15" wheels - no drivetrain at this point as well (so the front is a little high)...

Now for the good parts:
A Bill Reilly "AlterKtion" is ready to go in:

Hope he doesn't mind me linking from his site...
Also, just arrived:

And last but not least, the original 383 "freshened" up at the engine shop to 10.5:1 with some Eddy heads, an RPM intake with a Demon carb and TTI headers.

This car is kind of a company project. I work for a wholesale automobile auction in the northeast that recently celebrated it's 50th anniversary with Chrysler and we bought this car for a special event we had last year. It was for the most part original.
So, afterwards we decided we were going to make this thing a driver (it will never see the strip), and try to keep the body as original as possible. So far, everything we've done to the car can be reversed - with the exception of slightly elongating the shifter hole for the trans.
I've been lurking here for a while, it's nice that there's a board for this new trend in hot rodding.
