Challenger R/T SE in Progress
« on: July 07, 2007 - 10:48:45 AM »
Here are some pics of the engine and trans pull of my car. We have rebuilt the heads and are now going to detail the engine bay and Trans,  Maybe even detail the under side of the car. Check out the Rear End has a date stamp still on it . Sweet!!

It is supposed to be B5 but it is not the correct color. You can see the original in some of the pictures. I would love to paint it but not right now. Its a pretty good job though.

Looking good, really like the blue.  So what type of paint did you use on your K-member?

Crossmember? Yeah I'm not sure what the previous owners were doing with this car. Some of the things I have found are just puzzling. So I found another crossmember. I used Extreme Chassis black on the K-member. I know its not correct. but it is durable and it will last. It took 3 days to dry.
