Welcome!

As to adding pics, just click on that "Upload attachment" tab you see below the message block. Then it'll ask you to browse your machine for the photo and attach it. Click submit and then you're done.

This will a great place to ask questions, learn and get advice... post away!

[WileEcoyote]

wow thnkx ill take a couple more pics my first things im doin is attching the headers, ill get into full detail with it if anyone is fully interested and could help with some advice thnx, but heres my baby lol

Is it really a 440 or is that false advertising? Looks like a good solid start!

Oh yeah, we'll want to see more pics and have more info!

That car is sweet.I like the added stripe across the back.Are you going to make Its original?

[WileEcoyote]

ok yes it was a 440, the people that sold it to me said they took it out for whatever reasons, they put a 318 pos mopar engine in it lol. but wut do you expect for 3000 bucks lol. um i want to bring this car back to its original state, factory if i could but i thinks that might be almost impossible. the whole interior is original from the seats to the radio. dash and seats are cracked a lil. um im gunna need a grill. im gunna need a new floor because i guess it rusted away and they did a prtty good patch job. all in all im mostly worried about restoring the exterior and frame of the car. i guess ill worry about the small stuff later. ill post more pics of everything and if anyone can give me some advice or help me with anything, id deeply appreciate it. thnx guys. feel free to ask any questions ill answer to the best of my knowledge

[WileEcoyote]

Welcome to the Nest!

Looks like a pretty decent starting point there. Picking up an original 440 car makes it absolutely worth putting time and energy into!

What's the car's serial number? For the record. The car has a '74 Road Runner hood on it. Not a '73. As far as a custom look goes. I think the grille looks sort of sharp on it.
