Crusty got here yesterday and of course, I wasn't home. But, Kelly took delivery for me and happy to report, the new project is in the shop waiting for me to get home!
 Unfortunately for now, I'll just have to sit there and make engine noises like James used to do until I start on it next year.  More to come..... Cheers  Dave

Thanks guys! Maestro? Maybe of a one-man-band!
 Or is that the guy that stands on the corner and twirls "New Homes! Turn Here!!" signs when it's 100 outside?   But thanks for the confidence boost my friend! Much appreciated!That'll be the vision when done, Lee! Looked over it yesterday. Nothing that I didn't already know: trunk floor (on a Mopar? Really!? ) some cowl work, floor patches, lower rear quarter patches. Surprisingly, the rear window channel is solid! The 340 is fully rebuilt and ready to be completed when the time comes. It's sitting in DP so it'll be protected while it sits. Drips, bare oil pan bottom, sprayed over water pump bypass hose to come!!  Regardless of the motor not running...I sat in the car and made some engine sounds. Didn't want to start on the first try, then the battery died.  But after a jump, she fired right up!Cheers Dave

The 1970 'Cuda came standard with the 383 Magnum. You could order the 340 as a no charge option. As you can see from the production numbers the 340 NC option was more popular than the standard 383 Magnum:
 There is an almost 100 pound difference between the 340 and the 383: 525 versus 620. Last edited by Lee Stewart; 08-09-2018 at 12:45 AM.

Well, I can't leave well enough alone, so I decided to hold an "Undercoating Removal " party and invited all my friends! Strangely, nobody showed up. I'm not sure if its because people hate to remove undercoating, or despite my idea of myself...I really don't have any friends
 . But, just like my entire high school tenure, I didn't let that bother me.  Crusty being an undercoated car really helped save those floors. Luckily, no rot despite their rather crappy appearance. I mainly wanted to start documenting all of the factory overspray pattern from the rocker panels inward, as well as the dip gray primer. Under the driver's side, a sample of just about as mint as you can get 1970 FC7 In Violet! I swept all that mass into a pile that was yyyeeeewge! So big in fact that for comparison and scale, I positioned a 426 Hemi I had laying around next to it, then got the ladder out to take an aerial shot. I'm telling ya! Yyyyyeeewwge!  Ok... maybe it's not that big, but it'll be doubley that big (doubley?? ) after I get into the wheel wells and rear floor transition panel. Pffffllpppp.... friends... who needs 'em!   Cheers Dave
