Poor mans Hemi car.

[80 Lebaron Coupe]

Itching to see a Video of the finished Hemi Coupe.

 

[joeblo]

Not finished yet but looking much more like a car than it did before. Would like to go for a drive but still need registration and insurance. Hope to be out on the road in another month or so, but nothing about this project has been on schedule.

[bremereric]

Fits like a glove.

 

[DCAspen]

Looks great,talk about a sleeper

 

[Erics5th]

Stock wheel covers. Nice touch.

 

[Mopar&vettedude]

Looks great! Curious on how it sounds.

 

[roadrunnerman]

Looking at the car I would never have guessed that it had a motor like that under the hood.

When you reply and have your video on youtube you just click the filmstrip Icon and paste the whole url of your video on youtube.

Tried again to put up a video but I can't seem to figure out how to use YouTube. Maybe computers are not my thing. Sooner or later I will figure it out.

Got my plate today. Went for a drive around town and all was good. Hit the main road and gave it a little gas and the "brand new" throttle cable snapped. Walked back home and here I sit. Cars suck! Off to the auto parts store to try again.

 

[Mr.Lopar]

That sucks, was it rubbing on something? Our just a cheap piece?

 

[tim berry]

very nice the ultimate sleeper

 

[joeblo]

Just a cheap piece, and maybe I stepped on it a little harder than I thought. Replaced cable and out for round 2. Running pretty strong and after warming up idling nice. Just cruising around maybe 10 - 15 miles than headed home to check things out. About half a mile from home I was feeling good than it happened, A lot or rattling and lost a lot of oil pressure. Thank God I was close to home. Tore the engine down and it appears that one of the exhaust seats fell out. Have not yet taken the head off (too damn hot) but the valve is not coming up as far as it should. Did I mention that cars suck!? Think I'm going to take a break for awhile and go shoot stuff.

 

[ramenth]

Yeah, just take a break. Get too frustrated and you're liable to shoot the car instead of targets.

And I want to see this car sitting in my backyard next fall! lol

 

[hemijoe]

do you have any pics of the oil pan you used I am putting a fresh 354 in my aspen wagon and would like to see what you used for a pan

Thank you

 

[dodger roger]

[hemijoe]

[Jack Meoff]

Wow!
Talk about a sleeper.

 

[9secRR]

[hemijoe]
