Now..important question. What drivetrain are you planning on? I am not sure yet. It has a tired 225 in it now and I am not even sure what transmission (originally was a 3 speed - clutch is still in the van but not hooked up). I will probably go with a 360 (although I saw a 1957 392 Hemi advertised locally). Not sure about transmission....a 727 perhaps? Mechanics are not my strong suit. | | | Re: My 72 Dodge Chop Project | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 2,969 Likes: 64 veteran | | veteran Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 2,969 Likes: 64 | Lee, I would save all that 3-speed linkage and what else may go with it, always see guys wanting to changeover to manual transmission. Keep up the nice work and progress on your projects. | | | Re: My 72 Dodge Chop Project | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 32,759 Likes: 175 Old Timer | | Old Timer Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 32,759 Likes: 175 |

I framed out the bottom of the "new" grill opening and added the framework for the front of the air dam. Now I can finish the driver side front flare and add the air dam and then start on the other side of the van.......slowly but surely!!!! ![[Linked Image]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50030730067_1337824107_k.jpg) IMG-5765 by Lee Hatfield, on Flickr ![[Linked Image]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50030725472_59967b75ee_k.jpg) IMG-5756 by Lee Hatfield, on Flickr | | | Re: My 72 Dodge Chop Project | Joined: May 2018 Posts: 2,397 Likes: 64 veteran | | veteran Joined: May 2018 Posts: 2,397 Likes: 64 | This van is going to be waaaaaayyyyyy cool..darned nice metal work and man what vision.
