Well, the body is on the chassis. It seems I've got a size 6 engine and a size 5 body. Next plan is to move the engine back and down to gain hood clearance. Don't get excited about the wheels, they are just rollers

Made a little progress with the build. Going to have to work on lowering the engine. Picked the color today

Sweet. Like the Idea of the frame. You will get it figured out just some minor adjustment I am sure. Good job. Keep us posted. :thumbsup:

Here’s the car with the fenders mocked up. Have figure out how to drop the engine

Awesome build, will gladly follow the progress!

Some retrograde this week but its all good. Moved the engine back and down and raised the body 1 1/2 inches. Not quite there yet but this is close to where everything will come to rest.
Might have to change intakes, but I don't want to give up the VVT.

got the motor mounts tabbed and fitted. The engine gets installed next week

Got the motor mounts finished. Engine is in its final location, set back 5 inches we'll see how that works out. Going to load the body for fitment tonight.

More progress on the build, The headers are fabbed, the firewall in being roughed in and the rear wheel tubs are in.

Heres a couple header pictures. Right header is being fabbed, the left header is complete. You can see the steering shaft running under the header pipe.

That’s a really AWESOME build!!! Now you got me looking for rich relatives! Ok I looked now I’ll go back to my pine 2x4 sanding blocks

Here’s some more exhaust system pictures. Mufflers will go behind the rear end, just about finished

That is badass!!! Makes me pitty the purist, they don't know the fun they're missing lol. Excellent, love the stance!

The purist will say they have a real charger not a little tin on a all new car With nothing left but a vin. IMO I need to follow you guys around and raid your scrap pile... all the parts that get scrapped. I really get a kick out of the pure stock classes .. bias ply tires and kicking ***. To each their own.

Awesome build!

More progress this week, installed the drive shaft and ran the exhaust out beyond the rear end. Exhaust will be finished after the gas tank is installed.
