The Challenger Is In The Rod's Shop , It's Done
« on: October 26, 2010 - 09:14:53 PM »
I'm stoked.  :cooldancing: :cooldancing:  Rod pulled the tranny pan today. Putting on a Mopar Performance pan. New leaf springs, headers, exhaust. And a lot more. I'll keep updated.  :bananasmi :bananasmi

Brad, Those springs are of a Challenger that was totaled, it had 11,000 miles on it. They were blasted and painted . I had all new bushings here from my front end kit. We're gonna put them on . If we think it needs on height. We're gonna take a leaf off mine and add to them. I got the leaf springs for a pot of chili. :bigsmile:
