Hi everyone

not a lot of news but now. My charger does have rear disc brakes !

Bought a fresh set of disc and caliper from Summit. its from an 04 Mustang.

The only parts you need to make is the caliper bracket. So I made a pair.

And installed to check clearance. Yes it fits !!

All nice and shiny looking

And that my friends, is a 220$ brake kit lol ! It's still looking pretty rought. I still have some grinding and finishing to do.

Next are the front discs !

See ya

Please. Details on the frame jig. Anything you got dimension wise. What materials you used. It's awesome looking.

 

[ELLIOT]

Passenger side wheel tub done ! My bodyman told me the rear end will be finished in about 2 weeks.

next will be the front end (small patch to be done and unbent some spot)
aslo weld the new floor in place and do the T56 tunnel mod.
A lot of small spot that need some attention.

We made the Jig using this

This helps a lot !

for the frame of the jig we use 50mm square tube for the main part.

Thank's

Elliot

Hi everyone,

I'm coming to give you some news about the project ! We are viewing the light at the end of the tunnel !

We epoxied eveything.

Time to put everything back together

Those corner have been cut in all directions !

Know everything is square and eaven ! But damn those corner from AMD are really junk !

We also got the rear bumper closer to the body.

AND it's looking really nice !!

I'm mean really NICE !

There is some final work left to be done but we can call it finish for the rear !

Thank you

Elliot

Looking good! I know what you mean about the AMD corners. I had mine cut apart just about every way possible and rebuilt them to fit like they are supposed to.

This is a very good build you have going here.
You will enjoy driving it for sure, not much funner than cruising in a '69 Charger

 

[moparnation74]

All I can say is WOW! Mad skills such a great build!

keep the progress coming

 

[ELLIOT]

Thank you all !

I hope it will be fun ;)

Today I tested my hydroboost unit with the mastercylinder and the proportionning valve.

Everything fits nicely

 

[Superfreak]

Looking great

 

[ELLIOT]

Glab it's behind !

Looking good man! Great skills! By corners, I thought you were talking about the end pieces that finish off the quarters. I was going to say those fit like crap from the factory. I see what you mean now. You did an awesome job fitting all the panels and really like the wheel wells. Keep it up man!

Thank's mate !

I got some update

The main floor pan fits really well ! for sure best parts from AMD

To bad we are going to cut it for the T56

Engine bay needed a lot of love ! We patch some area

As you can see the battery support is no longer in place since it will be located in the trunk !

As you can imagine, I'm really looking forward to drive this bitch

Thank you,

Elliot

Hi,

Friday news coming !

We finished the rear window frame. Since it was rotted everywhere. here is the upper patch that complete the restoration of this frame

Once installed

Then the final thing to do was the upper seam of the quarter. Instead of keeping the original seam (that rust easely) we cut it and made a patch to cover.

Welded.

And finish ! No need for bodyfiller in this area

The original piece that as been cut

Passenger side done

And we have drilled all the spots welds for our floor. It will not be welded on center since we have to re-do the tunnel for the T56

Thank you everyone !

If you can make your brackets for the disc brakes with the bleeder @ 11-1 oclock high, it will make it much easier to bleed.

 

[ELLIOT]

Been a while since I posted last time.

The stiffening kit is on ! At least half of it !

Thank you

It is looking great. Your friend is doing excellent work.
