Since the Holley Moparty I have been away from the group.  Been VERY busy with all the things that I neglected while trying to finish the Challenger.  I am now onto another project (back onto that is).  I will have some tuning and minor details to fix up on the Challenger once the salt is washed off of the roads around here.  As for the other project, I am back onto my 1932 Plymouth PB Coupe.  I worked on this car every day in 2013 and 2014, but have not touched it since October 2014.  I have been back on it for a month or so now.  With the Challenger, virtually every panel is available at Summit Racing from AMD.  For the 32 Plymouth, every panel must be made.  I just finished reproducing and installing both rear corners.  I also bought the back panel from someone else in 2014, but it still took me 2 days to rework it and install it so that it actually fit.   I will use lead to smooth out the weld seems.  Back in 2013 / 14 I redid all of the bad spots on the floor as well as the rear fenders.  I previously built a Chevy 350 for this car and a Muncie 4 speed, but since I have been rolling with you cool Mopar guys, I am now going to build a 408 stroker from a pre-magnum roller cam 360 that I acquired based on the advice of some good folks on this forum.  I have not decided 100% on what tranny I will use, but it WILL be manual and it WILL be overdrive.  The same son that I did the Challenger project with is the one seen here welding on the frame.  He was 11 years old in this picture.

Glad to see ya back! 
Sounds like a far better idea to keep that ride a plymouth through and through. 
Looks like it will be a fun build!

Thanks for update.
Cool ride. I am in for updates. Here or link to others.
My challenger stalled for a few years recently to finish a Falcon Sprint that languished for 40 years.
Life is to be viewed thru the windshield. Not rear view mirror.
You are the only one in charge of your destiny.
