I got to find a way to stop by.
RIP Chet.

I can't believe your letting Frank work on it!! jk.

Saweeeet!

Since the holes were left unfilled, you are going to put the bright metal back on, right?

THANKS!!keeping the two stainless side moldings since they are perfect just need a polish and also the signiture 41 heart shaped grill just rad, also no bumpers,keeping door handles and factory lights this car was only produced for one year and 0 interchangable parts not even 40 or 42 were the same ive learnt alot of facts on this car.

This is starting to shape up nicely. Keep the pics and more detail when you can.

What color-Orange?

Cool project!

Gotta be a HEMI.
DON~~~

Update?

No kidding, it's been a while...

Man makes me wish I would have kept mine. Sold mine a couple years back when I ran into economy problems. These are cool cars when done. Anyone can build a chevy. It takes a man to be able to build a mopar. Everthing needs to be fabbed or redone. Nice work and keep us posted.

FINALLY HAVE HAD TIME TO WORK ON THE 41!!Been so busy with work no time and also got my drivetrain secured,purchased a 2008 durango from the auction,that had been totaled but with a perfect drivetrain 5.7 hemi w/4spdauto trans w/ 28000 miles got the motor jigged and working on the alignment of the driveshaft thanks for watchin! also fabbed the gas tank nice 16 gallon low pro out of a 70 stang i guess i can one ford part on the sacred mopar!!:) well back to work here some pics of the hemi!!

Are you going to use an aftermarket computer or the factory one? If you use the factory one make sure you rob the skim module off the ignition so it will start. I work at a chrysler dealer and we get call for this all the time. Put a new hemi in my old car and it wont start. Find out the vehicle had skim. Just a heads up.

What's the latest with this cruiser?

WELL ITS FINALLY TIME FOR AN UPDATE!!!
FINISHED THE DRIVETRAIN/STEERING COLUMN AND LINKAGE/DRIVESHAFT /RADIATOR,FRAMED AND POSITIONED THE FRONT BUCKETS(SEATS OUT OF THE 08 DURANGO) AND ALL THE MOUNTING ON THE FRAME, THEN TOOK THE BODY OFF AND BOXED/FINAL WELD ON EVERYTHING.
