68 Plymouth Custom Update

[mopar_freak]

Thanks for the compliment......the pictures do not do the car justice. I was floored when I went to the shop after the paint was put on. It is truly stunning.

The wheels are Boss 338 by American Racing. They are 18x9.5 (backspace 5") in the back and 18x8 (backspace 4.5") up front.

Nice, I got a 69' Roadrunner and was just wondering what size wheels to go with. Amazingly I want to paint mine gray as well, your Sat confirms that plymouth b bodies look damn good gray.

What kind of hemi(if you go in the hemi direction) you gonna run with, 426 or 3rd gen?

I got a 440 on a stand ready to be machined and stroked to a 500, BUT was talking to some local club members and they suggested if I wanna push the envelope (on my wallet and project) I should drop a 3rd gen hemi in. And if an opportunity presents its self, which it has but i dont have $ for it right now, Im gonna consider the swap.

Got them on ebay. The quality is actually pretty good. The headlights are glass and they are put together pretty well.

Front bumper mounted today and seats installed

I just bought a set of SRT 8 Challenger seats for my 71 Challenger PT project. Do you have a wiring diagram? Mine are power and heated. Also what console are you installing? It looks great and seams to eliminate the issue of a lot of modern consoles needing to run into the front dash.

Thanks, Wes

My driver's seat is powered and they are both heated. I've chosen not to use the heaters so the hookup was pretty simple for the power seat. Unfortunately I do not have a diagram.

The center console is from..............get this.........a 2007 Cadillac DTS. IMO, it compliments the seats well and I don't have to worry about infriging on the 4-speed floor shifter. There's a guy on ebay selling them (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...41709042614075). I offered him $75 and he took it.

Yes, they are connected. I tried to take a shot of the halos, but it came out blurry. I'll give it another try tonight, but this is the picture I took:

Looks great. Do you happen to have a link to the ebay site? I've been looking for a set of 5.75" lights for my firebird.

Thanks. Are the housing metal or plastic. I've heard some of the ebay light kits come with plastic housing, and tend to melt.
