Maximum Exhaust


Also bought a 3 inch TTI system with matching
Max wedge exhaust manifolds.
Huge iron castings looped up over the fenderwells to carry individual passages back to big 3-in. headpipes.
There truly was nothing else like them in the industry.

To the MAX


Already bought this stuff a while ago from Mr 4 speed.
Thx for that mate!
I got a complete max wegde crossram intake

Dacore 440


After a long process of thinking over all the possibilities over and after a good chat with some of the guys with the knowledge, I decided to use this bare 440 under block to rebuild the new engine for the dodge.
More will come soon...

Yesterday Moparton and I took the old 360 small block engine out of the dodge.
Together with the transmission.
It was a precision operation, because later I found out that it had been better to also take the drive shaft flange off.
But engine is out and will get an new job in a Plymouth duster.

The Dash .



After some words with J. Curulla, who owns this 1963 max wedge dodge , I had the opportunity to buy a complete restored cluster from him. Hans of Usa2ned helped me out with the transportation and payment. I shortly hope to receive it so it can be installed!

Fender repair


Next week Remon started working on the dents of the right finder. After some work we got the fender of the car and Remon started working on it.
Most of the dents are gone. Now he's going to prepare it for a new layer of paint.

Damage fix


To get good reach of the damaged areas, Remon and I took the fender of and found out that the dodge is very solid also in those spots. Now that the fron also came of, it's time to get that area also tidy.

Short Movie Clip Old set up



Got this video from Evan when I already had bought the car, made with his cellphone.
Here's the 360 mopar Smallblock running. Now this engine will go to a friend. I have some other plans!

The unwanted find


The day I collected the dodge, had to be the day. A day full of joy and tension.
Which was there all day, until I met the dodge. The car was molested and abused.
The complete right front fender was dented and damaged from the upper trim molding across the lower section of the door. The damage was fresh. And after I picked it up, made some pictures and got the damage documented, we took it home..

The beginning



On the 28th januari of this year I bought an 1964 dodge 440 post car in California
After a long time of searching I had found one on craigslist!
I got in contact with Evan and after a short time I decided to buy it and get the dodge transported to Holland.
Evan owned the dodge for 12 years and did get it for his sweet 16.
After an short period of waiting it finally arrived in Holland.
Koen of vintage vehicle transportation took care of the transport and we collected it from Marlog on April the 2nd.
