Hey guys,
These are some pics that I took towards the end of last year. I just bought a imac and was playing around with a new photo editing program and thought I'd post the pics.
These pics are of my 68 Road Runner, one day my Talon will be finished and I can post pics on here of it as well....
I know this may not be to many of your taste, but for the rest I hope you enjoy.

Here's how it started:

Well, it's a 60L tank and is pretty much empty after 75kms.
It's also $5.75/L for it's fuel. NOT a DD.

Thanks for the compliment....4 years worth of work there.

Well Adam engine started it's life as a 440 cubic inch, it's now been stroked and bored 30 over and now is a 496 cubic inch. Eagle Rods, Ross pistons, B1 modded heads, compression is 13:1, two 4bbl Barry Grant carbs (basically a pre-modded Holly carb)...I could go on and on but those are the main points.
Tires are 33"tall by 21.50" wide.

Michael, Thanks.
The fuel average I gave is mostly city driving, not to sure what it would do on the hwy....if it's gone anywhere far it has to be trailered. That said, it doesn't go far.

It's mostly the two 4's that make it use that much fuel, as it's always running on 4bbl and when opened up it's using 8bbl. You can actually watch the fuel gauge move when you pass the halfway on the gas pedal.


For example though, for anyone that knows the Mississauga area, 403/Dundas and Erin Mills Town center and back again is half a tank.

Thanks again for the compliments.

MOPAR!!! - seriously I probably would have never got into dsm's if it wasn't for the plymouth/eagle aspect of it - So glad I did though. I"m so torn between my next car either being a evo X or Challenger R/T(newer model) someday i'll get into a muscle car - trying to convince my uncle to sell me his project 74 Barracuda.
But I'll likely inherit a 32 Plymouth coupe someday - So I'm destine for some sort of mopar classic.

I like it Brian, it looks really clean.

Well that's not a 30 something KM trip, are you sure it's not a DSM fuel sender in there? tongue

Jokes aside, that's a very serious machine!! Amazing work.

Hurray for 8.1 liters of displacement laugh
A good friend of mine had a 67 chev truck with a 454 done .030 over. It was one thirsty ass truck too, and that was only with a mild 4 barrel... 8 would be nuts!

Seriously nice car though. Roadrunners aren't my personal pick of the mopar pack, but I always gotta give props to a clean car done right. tu
