Thanks for the kind comments!  I always wanted to post an update but didn't have the skill to do it until I met the "If This Car Could Talk" folks at a local car show.  Back when I was starting this project I got a lot of inspiration and advice from people on this forum.  There was a point early on when I wondered if I had bitten off more than I could chew with the project, but then just took it one part at a time and kept moving along until I decided that the car really would work and was worth completing.  The old Plymouth is really fun to take to shows as there are usually other builders with lots of questions and I can talk a long time about every little piece of the car from why it was chosen to how I got it to work.  

The one priority I did follow through with the entire build was to keep every possible part Mopar and use a minimum of aftermarket parts.  I believe that is why it is so reliable and doesn't drip a drop anywhere.  The entire drive train and even the electric cooling fan are all Mopar items.  The paint colors and interior are period correct Mopar.  All the engine accessories including the AC compressor are stock Viper but the interior box is Vintage Air.  It still has the original torsion bar suspension up front.  I have had it up to 115 mph at the local drag strip with two more gears to go, and the handling and brakes worked just fine.  The fellow who mounted the motor and builds funny cars told me I should take it to the Salt Flats to see how fast it would go but I wouldn't want to be the one to test the aerodynamics of a Forward Look car when it gets over 135mph.  So for now I am satisfied with just enjoying it and doing the routine maintenance.
