    This is my '73 R/T. The build is going kind of slow right now just trying to find all the parts needed. Got a lot of stuff actually done but nothing on the exterior. Mostly just interior and that I dont have many pics of yet. These are what I do have.

    This is the car when it was purchased.

    Tires for the custom Asanti's that are on the way. Even as a favor the wheels and tires still cost 17K alone. Wheels still being made.

    New F.A.S.T. fuel injection kit. Converting the 383 mag to a stroked 491 (i believe thats right)

    Old wiring harness compared to the new

    Bought the car a few months ago from a guy in texas. Had it transported up to us in Kansas City.

    I got some pics just need to find them. The grill has been redone also. Made it to where the front bumper was flush with the rest of the car.

    That looks in great shape. I'll have to find pics of the ones left to rot in fields. Makes one sick.
