So Chryco, how's the challenger coming along?
« on: October 19, 2009 - 08:07:58 AM »
I have been wondering if you are getting any time to work on that beauty.  Do you have any updates?  Hope all is going well for you.   We could use some updated assembly pictures :picture:

Throw it on the trailer, hook up to your diesel and bring it down. Stay as long as you like. There will be plenty of room for you to finish it up here :bigsmile:

Neil, it was good talking with you today.  You are so close to finishing a project that has been part of your life so long.  This is a big accomplishment and you have to feel good about what you've done.  So many times you've helped others and now it's your turn to help yourself.   :clapping:
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

Thanks Cody
 I may be somewhat more scarce around here for a bit , but I will check in daily at some point
 put in about 10 hrs today , spent a lot of time just trying to locate the needed parts , I organized it well when I took it apart & I am sure 99% of it is here but after moving it all it can be time consuming to locate the needed part & impossible to proceed until you locate it
 I di get the Fuel & brake lines installed , then did all the fire wall insulation except I need some more of the plastic retainer pins so I can install the heater box , then installed the pedals wiper linkage & hardware & the motor . got all of the brake lines & proportioning valve installed & plumbed , , moved to the rear & installed the rear sway bar & fuel tank , rear light harness filler neck & vent .
I will post a couple of pix int he Resto thread
