That is a beautiful car

Hope he doesn't decide he wants to change the rev limiter on the msd box later, it's entombed.

no, thats the beauty of it...i have it set to where i can reach through the glovebos and change it...took me some makin, but i got it mounted to where you can.....i was gonna put a 3k pill in it, just for him....he is the one with the 70 challenger...with a BUILT 440...shift at 6400rpm.....yeah...that high..its stout..11.8 last time it was at bristol. the 3k pill is what he needs.......

plus, the gauges for the mootang are hidden in the center console.....no aftermarket parts are visible.....he finally left me alone, so i can get some work done on it...and lets me figure shit out...so it is done right, the first time...well....most of the time.....
