Gary, I appreciate the option. I am thinking at this point I will run the battery in its former spot. I will send the group pics of this project very soon. This is a dream of more than 25 years, and I want to do it as it deserves. We have many hours in this car at this point, and I will be very happy with the results. I really thank this group for helping with their ideas and knowledge, and could not have found a better bunch of people. I hope to show a car worthy of showroom status in the very near future....Lyle in Montana --- Bob Fortson <bobt1885@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I don't know about '64 model years, but in '63 there > were no "Max wedge" convertibles manufactured by > momma' Mopar...the weight was counter productive to > the "timed acceleration runs only" credo. > It would seem therefore that you must do what I > did...namely...build what you will enjoy!
