THanks all... Couple more. Trans tunnel almost clear. Now spending my time whilst under there scraping (for hours and hours....) looking at other things. Fuel sender looks easy to get to now car is up in the air and no exhaust in the way... hmmm (add job to list) ref wiring loom - I decided to just ...

Yep - should have mentioned that. Engine bay will be gloss black. Engine block will be silver. Engine ancills will be Chrome (filter, rocker covers) Not to everyones taste, and certainly not traditional - but car is already a bespoke colour. I think that a gunmetal Charger with a black and silver en...

Apparently not for the Charger. I know you do on some of the others. Blue was kind enough to spend an hour or so with me when I first got it to help me kit out all the bits I need from 440source. (all the ancills needed, pulleys, brackets, that sort of thing). New engine mounts and she will drop int...

You see ? THATS what happens. "While I am at it..."

So - I'm waiting for the welding so I decide "You know what - I better do the underside whilst the exhaust is out". I begin scraping... Been at it a week now, and done about 2/3rds I think. Here are a few in progress. I have been really really happy so far - I expected to find some horrors...

So , while I'm at it I am now seeing the rusty bits under the hood. Not mega - usual rusty battery tray (which I patched last year) and a couple of crunchy bits round the susp turret and behind the hinges. You can guess what happens now. "While I am at it, I may as well do those". Pics sho...

Money would help...

Anyway - few more.

I know many of you know the car. 68 Charger, lots of options but a 318 engine (Belgium car. Quite common apparently to spec 'em up and then drop the small engine for European market) Anyhow - Clearly she needs a 440 and I have spent the last couple of years dealing with the cosmetics (the chromework...

Ivor - ref D angles - Almost certainly not the same. Extensive modification may be required for angle, and also a flange added for eventual butterfly valve install... I think its the trickiest in reality, it just looks so good on the diagram :) Dave - Yeah - erring towards B I think. Further back do...

OK - starting to get somewhere, and now I have finally stopped removing bits I am keen to start putting things back on again. Still chewing over the cutouts thing, and am curious what people have done with location. Below is my amateur effort at drawing what the exhaust looks like in its component f...

Gosh - I remember that job, took me ages to get the things tight enough. Best tip I can give anyone who tries this is a) Get them nice and warm first (put the covers in the airing cupboard or something. Or a nice sunny day leave them for a while to soften up). b) Hog ring pliers - I made my own by p...

Wow. Thats some serious metalwork going on. Hat off to you... Sail panel reconstruction particularly cool.

Ref the Axle under the front. 4WD Charger ? Awesome.

Gringo - nice colour!
I'm going for a silver engine block against a black bay in my Charger.

What paint did you use for the block ? Looks great. (Sorry Adam - I know you loved the air-con-turquoise)

So how do you stop it kicking down into 1st then ? Or do you have to get so much speed that 1st is impossible ?
I learn something new everyday on this board. !
