Yes, I wanted something that held the antenna securely and looked decent at the same time.

Nice work! That looks very good!

Thanks, there are many things like that on this car, I have done a lot of fabrication; point in case check out my high speed semi automatic antenna.

I used to have one and I hated it after a year.   :2cents:

Pulled the heads off the Challenger because after doing a cylinder leak down and compression test I found 1 week cylinder. # 1 cyl had 80% leakage! I have 452 heads that are suppose to be hardened seats. It looks like they forgot to harden this one. The exh valve sunk into the head. All the rest were O.K. Using the porting templets then new exh seats & a valve job.

Finally got time to fit a working stereo, as much as I love the "Mopar Rumble" soundtrack, it gets a bit monotonous on a long drive.  ::)
That's what I'm looking forward to doing soon! Is that Pink Floyd The Wall? I love that album and most everything they recorded!  :smokin:

Bummer, I want to do a compression test my 440 too.

Actually I took out my car and drove it today since everything froze up again. I had to test it out with the new 4 speed setup and it rocked! Like a whole different car!  :burnout:

Just got finished installing the 4" lift in the '12 Ram 3500. Looks awesome! The next job is pull the 440 out of the Challenger  for cylinder head/cam mods. And also an engine repaint in original Hemi orange. :thumbsup:

Good luck and post pics. Spending $$$$... the name of the game. :cheers:
