My 71 Challenger RT Project

[Bluemonster71RT]

Yesterday was to be the day. Then not. The water pump was leaking from the weep hole. So even though I badly wanted to just start it anyway I decided to get a new pump. I couldnt find one locally so I had to have one sent to my local Napa. I just got done painting it. So when it drys, I will install and try for round 2 of round one. IF everything goes well, there will be video. There will be video if it goes bad too but you wont see it lol.

Need to make your video public so we can see!

[Bluemonster71RT]

I did, try it now. I thought if I shared the link people could see it. I was trying to embed it but I cant seem to get that to work.

Sweet!  Sounds and looks real good, except for the Pontiac fender cover.

Gotta rub your balls against something..............

I knew that would come up. The wife has a Trans Am. I bought those for her when we did her engine swap.  But yes balls do have to rub somewhere   

Runs nicer now but I have a clutch issue that may require that the trans be pulled. I hope not but I'm at a loss as what to do.

Here are some of the pictures. 2 of my "awesome" welding(just the ones from the H forward are mine) and one with the air cleaner back in place.

Are you going to grind that down ?

[Bluemonster71RT]

Good question. I am up in the air as to if I am going to change my pipe kit. So I haven't yet. I will grind it down if I decide not to change it out.

Since I cant do much while I try to find the correct O-rings for the oil filter housing, I decided to turn my 2" quad tips into 3" tips that will now fit my exhaust.
