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: 2,964 Likes: 63 veteran | veteran Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 2,964 Likes: 63 | 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: 32,696 Likes: 172 Old Timer | Old Timer Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 32,696 Likes: 172 |

Radical chop, but aesthetically pleasing. Your lower body mods complement the chop well. Carry On. Maestro!

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!!!!
