It appears that the upgrade forces a login and many, many of you have forgotten your passwords and didn't set up any reminders. Contact me directly through helpmelogin@dodgecharger.com and I'll help sort it out.

It's kind of hard to see in these first two pictures, but the tunnel had to be clearanced to get the transmission up into the tunnel where it needed to be.




The torsion bar crossmember lips were trimmed down in the tunnel and a plate was welded in.

Catching up a little bit...

Got the Charger up on the lift to mock up the drivetrain...




Mounted the cast manifolds first, which are from a 6.4L Jeep Cherokee SRT8. These headers are cheap and they actually came factory on Jeep SRT8's which had 485hp, so they can handle the power and won't break easily. I paid $125 plus shipping for them. The driver's side engine mount had to be redone to accommodate the cast headers. The mount was originally straight...now it is curved.

"Most" huh? You mean YOU and one other idiot?
While it may sometimes seem like there are only three active members, I'm sure that there are more than that.

Ask the seller if he bought the car new ??

Sounds like a story that has been told to the next owner from the last owner several times for several owners till they think it is true  :icon_smile_wink:

Paint, Body & Trim / Re: painting after vinyl top r...
Last post by armor64 - Today at 11:20:23 AM
I have only seen a few 2-tone Mopars in person at the Carlisle show, and they were almost all gloss/gloss. I thought they looked good, as a flat color may make it look too much like "faking" the vinyl top, unless it goes further than the trim.

tough call for your preference though, hopefully it looks great with what you pick.
