Looking good1 You might want to seal up the shroud to the rad a little better other wise the shroud won't work very well.  :2cents:
Can't wait to see this monster in person one day!  :2thumbs:

hey brad, yeah the sides of the rad stick out about 3/4" wider which is why there is a gap on the top and bottom. not much I can do about it other than replace it with a rad that excepts the factory shroud correctly, ill see if it bugs me enough or how it cools and maybe use that rad for the roadrunner and buy a proper aluminum one for the challenger. yeah it will be ready for spring and hopefully meet some of you guys at some events :bananasmi

Perhaps a custom top and bottom plate to help seal it up? Awesome car BTW.

Hey mike, I just followed the instructions it wasn't' that bad really, I just hope I got the AN fittings on correctly and have no leaks.

Hey thanks 70chal440, I guess I could possibly make something up just don't want it to look like crap

Bruce,

I enjoy this thread and checkin out the progress of your build and all of the pics - it is a phenomenal ride you are building!  :worshippy

Also, you have got to be one of the most patient guys I have ever seen - I would have cobbled it together just so I could start it and then retrofit the good stuff on to it later!

Hey rob, yeah the thought crossed mine mind plenty of times for sure but I have been able to hold it together so far lol. I am very close and I will have it running this fall and have the bugs work out if any by the spring. I appreciate the kind words as well.

Hey Bruce, now that you are almost done with your build, there is a matching Hemi Challenger 'vert on ebay to go with your hardtop! Who knew that your car had a convertible twin (kind of sort of)! :dunno:  What an opportunity to pick up ride for mrs Bruce! :grinyes:

Haha, and only 150 grand !!!. It's a beautiful car for sure and I would make room for it. I have been in mexico for 5 weeks and now that I am home I am working a lot so struggling for time to work on the car. Carb, driveshaft, fluids and filters are what I need to be able to fire it up, electrical is all finished and knock on wood everything is working as it should. roadrunner is going to my body guy soon and I have been gathering some parts for the Fargo, honestly I look at the Fargo and the roadrunner and im torn on which one to do next lol. :dunno:

Fargo! Fargo!

Haha, I really think once the roadrunner is gone to the body shop and the challenger is pretty much done I will start on the fargo. I have an air ride set-up for it already and have found some other stuff locally that I will need. Cant wait to get it stripped and blasted so I can start test fitting everything.
