Cool Re: 1978 Dodge Magnum stocker?

Listen to Paul Wong. Incidentally,do these cars have the long straight front torsion bars,or the removable front K member with the bent bars contained in it?

Honestly I couldn't tell you Greg.
If I pull the trigger, this will be my first Mopar build so all the help/suggestions/honest know-how will be appreciated.
If I do this, I will be using the 360/170/276 motor.
Will the 904 bolt up?
I'm inclined to think a 8 3/4 rear will be plenty?
Long way off but Sox and Martin red, white and blue, or a simple Petty Blue?

Not a wrench turned and you are already concerned about a paint job? Dream on.

Dwight, as I said, long way off on paint but most rendering of a race car that have been done up rarely are shown in primer. And once I do start, I will have someone do a few rederings for me...and not a single one will be in primer.
NEXT.

Keep us updated on this, love this section. Hey they say if you paint it yellow that it is worth .05 and 1 mph.


Use light weight paint
