Can't have a fun vehicle without a Cars modification.
I kept the original A-500 transmission, it needed to be rebuilt though. I've kept the original rearend as well. I have the stock two piece driveshaft still in it, found a one piece aluminum out of a '90 Dakota. Will eventually put it in.
I've kept the interior as stock as possible. Most of the original gauges still work. The Oil PSI I had to get an aftermarket and I will need an aftermarket Tach. The Speedometer has to be taken out due to being electrical, but is being replaced with a manual 125mph Speedo.
I wanted to keep it stock looking on the outside, but I realised it's only cool on old school vehicles.
So I went with some Cragar Soft 8 Wheels wrapped in some Indy 500s. I had the Super Dak stripe custom made to copy the Super Bee (replacing the Bee with a Ram).
Lots more to come.
It's a nice driver for now. Hopefully to the track soon.

nice work but I'd fire your paint guy that scoop would look alot better molded into the hood instead of riveted to it......good look though, check out my trucks sometime
