I have mine mounted on top of the driveshaft tunnel in the back seat area. It's the most central area to the engine bay, drivers area, and fuel cell, and makes routing of the firing system pretty easy to set up. By putting it on top of the tunnel, if I need to get into the back seat area...

This "new finding"comes up every couple of years. Been using them every single day for this purpose for half a century.

These quick lube places hire the least of the least qualified and least experienced. You pay for their training.... one way or another..... or even both ways.

Great car. I have pondered building a wasteland-type car from a 3rd gen for years but never get to it. How DID you do the fender flares? <<<edit>>> never mind.. I see it re-reading the thread. <<<edit>>> Check out Wasteland All The Cars group on Facebook if you get a chance.

Well, it was a joke about how both the Mad Max car went from shiny to smashed and dirty, and Max from sturdy and strong to "look at yourself, you're a mess".... (as in parking in the handicapped spot). I guess that is the type of comment you get from someone who has seen the Road Warrior 127...

Well.... I like the color.

Clearly the Mad Max Charger and river are experienced. You didn't notice it was parker in the handicapped spot? It sucks getting shot through the knee.

The car sounds like a hot rod, not a restoration... so I don't see why you'd go Gen Ray. Just buy a generic giant aluminum radiator, fab some mounts and use your saving fro something else. Aluminum radiator options are practically endless.

Looks great. The square headlights work. Would be interesting to hear how the fender flares were done.

In any case, you are better off having the paint supplier shop analyze your existing paint and match it rather than having them mix it to a code and hope it matches the way they mixed it the first time.

Well, I worked on the spouses Honda. Why? Because Jiffy Lube forgot to bolt the belly pan back on all the way and it fell off and was dragging under the car. Thankfully no other damage was done as she was wise enough to stop and call me. Jiffy Lube $%#@&!

Putting on the red paint on the two-tone red/white on my 57 Dodge Coronet. Doors and fenders shot today. Almost done! It's been a long and winding road.

I'm running 245/60/15 on an 8" wheel with 4" offset. They do not rub. I would not go to a smaller tire. It looks good as is. Wider tire = better traction. Your easiest solution is to put a few rounds into the Torsion bars, which in my opinion, will also make the car feel better when driving it.

FWIW, these mounts flex from the factory. If you put a dial indicator on the mount and turn the wheel you can measure it. So... besides getting a better weld on there, adding a reinforcement gusset can also improve things.

Take all the spark plugs out so you are exerting minimal force on the bolt. This will eliminate the risk of breaking the bolt or stripping the hole out.

I rented one for a long road trip once and loved it. It had me thinking about buying one... but they only get average or worse consumer ratings for reliability, repairs, and resale.... so you are rolling the dice.

Flat won't hide bad body work.

Yes the Petty cars did exactly that. The hood and fender leading edges were also flattened to match the bumper upper profile to eliminate the gap that exists on stock versions of 3rd gen Chargers. By 73 there were tons a subtle changes being incorporated into "stock" car builds. The game was...

Nobody has one.

True fact: He was in my high school class though he dropped out in 10th grade. Frankly, I don't remember him. I don't think he was there very much.... but then again neither was I :lol: I have been following him since the early Soundgarden Days when they used to plaster every light pole in town...
