Few of us could ever aspire to build (and fund!!) a car like that.
We desperately need a "Connected" Article on this build...and which bank you robbed!!!!
Just breathtaking....![]()

Thanks everyone one, it’s a time consuming project for sure, as pretty much everything is aftermarket, hand made, I probably spend as much time thinking about making bits, as I do actually making the bits. I’m lucky to have a good group of friends & racers who help with advice or help me doing parts I can’t do all by myself.
I have a good photo record of the build, so can pull something together when it’s all complete for the mag...

'51 Silver Streak? Or similar?
If memory serves... a friend of ours used to have one back in the 80's-90's... Very nice

Re: What did you do to your Mopar today?
Well, I was mostly out at the Nostalgia Nationals at Santa Pod, fresh rebuild new torque convertor, etc.
It has changed the whole feel of the car and the power delivery.
Ran a best of 9.89 Secs at 137.
The best mph was 138.
The best 60 foot time was 1.40.
Loads more tuning to do.
Driver would benefit from some attention as I am useless on a Sportsman Tree.... I let the car down, it performed flawlessly all weekend, which was nice...

Re: What did you do to your Mopar today?
I actually did something on the Charger today, somehow the drivers seat back got a rip in it, so up in to the loft as you do and got a spare one out, off with the old in with the new, job done, fitted the seat back in the car then had to take it out again as I had forgot to fit the hinge covers.
