Default 1964 Savoy Aluminum SS build

I have started my build of my original 1964 Plymouth Savoy Aluminum car, I will be doing all the build myself with help from My wife, kids and some close friends. This should be a fun journey as my target is to race it next year as me and both my Max Wedges will be 50 years old. I have started by repairing some of the body modifications done to run it as a 4 speed and fender well headers. So far the Trans tunnel is repaired as well as the inner fenders and I am about 40% done fabricating the cage.

I have tried to attach some photos I am not sure if the will work.

Hey Bob

Things a Dad will do for his kids!! I told Carla and the kids I would get some ribbing. It should make a great car for the girls. We are going to try and make it to the divisionals hopefully see you and Charlene there.

These are some photos of the the car as i got it, not race ready. It has a steel nose and I was lucky enough to locate the Aluminum components that were missing.

I hear you Mark unfortunately I am sure I wouldn't pass tech with the inner fenders cut out that much, as well some of the cutting was a little rough.

I will be running the High Compression Max Wedge. I think should be a good challenge.
