Second Chance at a MOPAR the "BlackBird" build

[Blackbirdsrt78]

Did you do anything to the slant or is it stock?

bone stock although in the future I will be putting a cam, porting the head and over sized valves. I just have got to get it functional it really needs ALOT of work so I cant blow money on high performance parts yet. it needs ALOT of body work

Understood....I can see the body renovation taking place.
You guys blow me away with how hard you hit it.

I actually think it's pretty cool that it's stock....killer work guys.

I think the next interesting thing I will be doing is setting up the slave cylinder for my hydraulic clutch. I should have the money to order it by Monday... :happy3:

Very impressive work. Especially the metal work. Always great to see a Mopar brought back from the dead.

A couple of long journeys-we are working together brother.

(My Brother in-law owned the Volare when I tried to help him get up on his feet-bought him two cars...housed him, fed him, kicked him out-I think a llot of people know that song and dance!)

We called him for a bill of sale, had the wife call him, and then I drove to his house-annnnnnd finally done!

You two are a hell of a team.

And the speed you guys work at is like a blur.
Very impressive.....
Sooooo...when are you two dropping by??

Just pulled the trigger on these hydraulic clutch parts. I had forgot that I still had -4 sized steel braided line and fittings so all I will have to purchase is a solid line from the parts store in town. they should arrive here before the weekend.
