    Matt is a phenomenal fabricator!! Kind of silly to geek out about this....but I'm happy with the powdercoating results. lol

    Patina'd RR1 Burgundy 1968 Charger ("Ribeye")

    I'm going to make a real push to get this thing together and running before summer is over. I sent the transmission crossmember out for powdercoating but took a couple pics first.

    1968 Runner post w/ 6.1L, 6 speed, IRS

    I recently started a youtube channel and will be making some videos of cars I have finished (like this one) and cars I am still working on. If you're interested, check out the channel. Here is the link to the first Roadrunner video which shows a preview video of the finished car and covers how I...

    Haters/doubters…I provided two terms everyone can understand…but I guess it’s easier to deflect by finding issue with something trivial in my reply that has nothing to do with the argument. Darius’s build was like 10 years ago…what you got that’s current? And are you telling me Darius didn’t...

    If you guys can design one better, then by all means…show me yours. The haters/doubters are always the guys who have never installed/driven one. Bill and his products have been around along time now and have outstanding reviews/reputation. There’s Never any proof of real issues (maybe...

    The mounting flange (that goes against the block) and the mount to the K frame are the same as they have been for however long Reilly Motorsports has been building them. Only the tube in between is different...With four bolts holding it tightly to the block it shouldn't be in sheer...and with...

    Some years were cast and some years were stainless. I have used a pair of the stainless headers on my 68 Roadrunner but they are much larger and required modification to the outlet angle to clear the frame rail and firewall.

    It's kind of hard to see in these first two pictures, but the tunnel had to be clearanced to get the transmission up into the tunnel where it needed to be. The torsion bar crossmember lips were trimmed down in the tunnel and a plate was welded in.

    Catching up a little bit... Got the Charger up on the lift to mock up the drivetrain... Mounted the cast manifolds first, which are from a 6.4L Jeep Cherokee SRT8. These headers are cheap and they actually came factory on Jeep SRT8's which had 485hp, so they can handle the power and won't...

    RMS 4 link has been mocked up. Will need to pull/paint/reinstall later.

    1. The wheels are 17" steelies so they're not that big (18-20's)...they're just big enough to fit some bigger Wilwood brakes and respond/handle better. 2. I just prefer a lower stance. It won't be slammed, but it will be lower then stock. 3. It will still be unique because of the paint combo...

    Patina'd RR1 Burgundy 1968 Charger ("Ribeye")

    I can see why you might think that but I don't have the time to do the body work myself and once you pay for a paint job, you realize how ridiculously expensive it is to go "one step further". Seriously...it's crazy. And I REALLY like the look of the paint. It's going to be a really unique look...
