72 Chall 422 Stroker EV2 Backyard Special**

[71340RT]

I really like your challenger with the black hood as it makes the orange really stand out and draw attention to the car. Glad I'm not the only one that does lots of there own work on there cars.

Thanks 71340RT, I like the hood on it too!  I just haven't decided if i'm going to put some stripes on the side yet....  I do have a front and rear spoiler set to go on as well.  Hey, I built this thing to drive, may as well make it my own!

Nothing that couldn't be reversed back to a Green /green 318 Challenger!

Cool pics!  Were those cars from the Mass Mopar guys?  The Road Runner looks familiar...Tadjou?

Thanks for the offer, Tom, but I used up my quota of car events for the year, according to the wifey...    Hubby has to be a good boy... 

Glad you had fun!

Aaargghh!  One of my favorite threads ruined!!

Any update if they can fix everything that is missing?

I lost all that info you gave me for the hidden headlights.

I'll repost if I got too.

The pics might not be in order though.  Maybe photobucket would be the answer.  Not too computer literate with that stuff though.

Tom, try photobucket, its really easy.  Just upload it, and click on the image code, it should say something like "for use on message boards or forums"

Then come to cc.com, and right click, paste.  Give it a try.

I'm trying Imageshack.  I got a link from another site.

Seems ok I think.

Holy crap SuperBlue, i saw your pics in that post and was wondering, does this guy have no legs?? then i realized thats a picture of a model car....

Thanks Guys!  You guys all keep me motivated!

I figured I'd watch the Patriots in the garage for a while tonight.  And mess around with the car.

Finished putting the Kick Panels in.  Then the Door Sills, and the Tri-star emblem on the Door Panels.  Put the Overhead Belts and Sunvisors in.  Got the rest of the marker lights working(bulbs).  Got the wiper arms and blades in and adjusted the hood to clear them, it is tight but no rubs!  That little C-clip is a PITA!

Thanks Again Guys

Tom

I still got to do the Bypass on the Instrument lights(dimmer switch) as mine don't seem to want to work.

The woodgrain on the doors is a little light, but the contact paper was 2 dollars at the craft store so it will have to do!

Hi Just a thought but is your gun slinger shifter handle Carbon fibre ?
Did you think about putting carbon fibre in the door panels instead of the wood grain ?
Just a thought.

It sure is!

I thought about doing some CF upgrades to the doors and console as well, maybe this winter.

Thanks!

Well, the realization that Winter is /has been here.  I begun the thrash today and hopefully will have it ready to pull by tomorrow.

I have to fab up a patch under where the battery tray is/was.  Spent a few hours today and got the Radiator, Shroud, Front Acc's, Headers unbolted, wiring disconnected, Fluids drained, and Battery tray out.  New Paint is no fun to deal with.

Small Block Headers and Motor mounts are a PITA.

I can't seem to get the drivers side bolt out?  Maybe after i get it up on Jackstands I'll be able to.  I tried taking the three bolts in the block out instead but the third one was having no part of coming out.

I also picked up a new Compressor from Lowe's for 299.00.  60 Gallon
