Charger Discussion / Re: Got a pic of your Charger?...

Honestly it's hard to find 318 pics because they get restored with bigger engines so often.  But a lot of the same procedures were used on the bits & pieces of 440/Hemi cars.

You might try checking outside of Charger models.  318s were more common on other stuff like Coronets and Plymouth Satellites.

Yeah, Freiburger did the Hellcat swap for sponsorship reasons. 

And for raw viewership.  People were cheering for that engine swap even though they were not gonna like the results when they got it. (see also: Jurassic Park sequels, Van Halen reunion tours) 


The drag car damage to the General Mayhem?  You mean the tire tubs and cage and stuff?  A lot of it is normalized because the habits were formed in the 1970s-80s when muscle cars were in endless cheap supply. 

When Freiburger first made the Mayhem I suspected it would get converted to a drag car sooner or later.  He was a 1980s teenager who grew up when pro-street drag cars were the cool thing.  I was kinda surprised that he built the Mayhem any other way.

Aero Cars / Re: My Daytona clone project.....

Still moving slowly... but moving.
Eric is close to wrapping the interior.
Some pics so far...







We determined which way to go with the speakers/ amp system.
He mounted two subwoofers behind the rear seats. Those 6x9's in the rear tray area will be flush mounted. And he'll put 8" full range speakers in the kick panels. Twitters in the far right and left in the dash. So the speakers will be hidden.
The amp is going behind the trunk firewall between there and a false panel.
He's attacking  the door panels/ quarter panels/ sail panels next. Then onto the final body repairs.Which he keeps telling me is the easy stuff. Hardly any slow moving fabrication left now.
The engine should be out of the machine shop now... ready for final assembly.
Hopefully.

Good day folks,

 It's been a while since I posted any updates on this thread. All I have added is the front wheel trim and my Pink Floyd dark side of the moon. Here is a couple of pictures. Almost 4 years ago. I have clocked over 3500 miles and enjoying every mile.

Most of the brackets were dipped in gloss black paint of low quality and the gloss quickly faded.
