I am in the process of building my 1965 Coronet 500 with a 451ci.

The engine machine work was done by Woody's Machine in Thorntown, IN, and the car was stripped by Redi Strip.

I have done all the rest of the work myself, including building the rotissirie, with the help of lots of good advice!

Update January 14, 2002

I'm finally getting around to sending you the pic of the finished product.

The car debuted at the Mopar Nationals in Columbus in August 2001. It was parked at the Mopar Muscle tent on the manufacturer's midway. That was a lot of fun! The story and photo in Mopar Muscle magazine got moved back to the May 2002 issue.

Seeing the car on the cover of my favorite magazine...Wow!

Great job!
