awesome

I hope an electrical inspector or you insurance company never stops by the shop to see that stellar electrical work ya got going on there....


:buttkick:

That is nothing.. You should see the way our welder outlets are thru out the shop! :superhack:

Electrician is due next week to fix that..

lol, yeah now...thanks to greg.

you guys are taking it up a notch now. Next thing you know you'll be pouring in a slab for the simulation platform.

Things are changing here @ the shop.. We are buying equipment now for car setups.. got more coming for 2014! I got the race bug!

I might see about Mr Weld's Lease/To own program on a tow rig! :lol:

We are so close to finishing out the 70 Challenger.. but we had to shelf it for the month of Oct.. Have a few other projects that we need to catch up on.. plus got SEMA cars..

Looking good, look forward to more. :thumbsup:

Nice stance Cris! Looks awesome with the purple and black wheels.

We need to see update and more pictures

I bet the original drivetrain and suspension my buddy bought from this build POSSIBLY covered the labor for the two front fenders LOL. Unbelievable build, keep it up guys!

Finally found some time to get some work done on the Challenger.. Next week we get the trunk & hood mounted.. & the driving begins to proof all the prototype suspension we have developed.. So far all is looking good!

Nice Cris!!! That is bad azz

that car is just Plum Nutz! :lmao: :stirthepot:

Congrats on getting it driving. Good luck with all the testing :thumbsup:

Chris, this is a fantastic build. Sorry you had to take so much flak for it. Some people go out of their way to push their opinions onto you. So many of these cars were destroyed racing or on the street over the years that it should not even be a conversation in the first place.

I really like every little detail about this build, including the engine choice.

What bore size did you end up with on the master cylinders? and if you don't mind me asking what drove you to increasing the pedal ratio? Was it from track experience with blu balz?

Turned out great Chris, I on the other hand am glad you took so much flack for the build. LOL

Can't wait to see that car out and about, it doesn't seem like you build any trailer queens. I know that thing will get rung out.

See ya, Ron

Cris,

How did the rear suspension feel? I understand that its early in the tuning phase...

We need more pics!!! Looks awesome Cris

Rod- I think that nick name just might stick! :D

We are @ 7/8 bores on the master cylinders & the pedal feels is stiff.. but that will change.. Late this week we will start testing on Hawk pads.. so if I can get the instant bite on the pads to leave room for some modulation on the pedal.. we will keep the 7/8 bores on the m/c.. but take into consideration that I have Wilwood Superlites 1.62/1.12/1.12 on the front calipers & 1.25 on the rear.. If I make a change.. it will be to 1.75/1.38/1.38 on the front calipers on W6A's.. Hawk does not make pads for these calipers.. but can get a custom set if required like I have for Blu Balz.. We increased the pedal ratio to gain some leverage which I can tell that I have gained when stopping the car... but all that information will be gained & tested later this week.. The brakes on Blu work great on stock pedal ratio.. only need to add brake ducts & now we are running Castro React SRF Racing brake fluid, Hawk Pads

Ron- Thank you! You that this car will be run hard.. We throw it on the Auto-X this Friday..

To early to say.. but the car had great forward bite.. Slung it a bit from side to side.. On the video the car had no sway bars on yet.. Got BF Rivals on it.. RideTech shocks that have been re-valved to our specs.. 850 front springs & 600 on the back.. Need to set my pinion angle..

My experience with the 3 link on this car that we tested on another one here @ the shop had great corner bite.. you felt like you could roll on the throttle & hold without the car stepping out from you.. & that car had no rear sway bar..

Thanks Al

Here are a few...

Car on scales

I think the car will end up @ 3100 lbs

Engine bay is complete..

http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/...ps533820f5.jpg

Here an after thought when I was mounting the battery.. We are arunning a 17 lbs Braille Battery tucked underneth the dash.. So I had to figure a way to jump start the car or put a trickle charger.. We machined a brass bung to mount to the side of the block for ground that was close to our power source in the engine bay.. I am sure we could have done something better.. but weight is a big factor on this car.. didn't want to run cable all over the place..

http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/...psdf52bab9.jpg

Wow Cris that actually a great idea! I'm sure you save a bunch of weight not have to run the cable all the way from the trunk. Thanks for posting the pics. I have learn so much just by studying your poctures. :thumbsup:

Unreal build - can't wait to see finished pictures.

Maybe toss one of these decals on there to really rub it in for the purists:

Killer build! Cris, you knocked it out of the park!

Thanks guys!

Got more body parts on the car today!

http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2327114d.jpg

How can anyone not like this? I'm just saying. Well anyway, the car is sick to me. Way to go Cris.

Sick Build!! I can appreciate seeing a guy or gal build a car that suits their own personal wishes and goals. I have seen more than my fair share of people stashing their cars away or turning them into perfect masterpieces that they are scared to drive. Atleast this one is doing its intended purpose, moving!!

Keep up the great work!!

^^What Marcus said.
That thing is nasty Kris. Sounds and looks killer. :thumbsup:

Plz plz plz man...more stance pics from a slight distance...:hairpullout:

Wow this thing is awesome Cris. I've wanted one of these for a long time and you are not making it any easier!

The combination with this car showcases all of the strengths of the Detroit big 3.

Dodge/Mopar's gorgeous styling and wild color choices.
Chevrolet's engine platform. UNDENIABLY the leader of performance.
Ford's rock solid, ingenious rear end design.

This car is so cool. My only complaint is that it didn't end up sublime, but it's awesome in plum crazy. You will draw a crowd at LS Fest for sure!

Well the daily driving of this car has been going on for the last two days.. All has been good so far.. been adjusting & tweaking as required.. Tomorrow we start our base line testing on the Auto-X.. Test weight 3280.. Saturday Brian Hobaugh gets to do some driving & start pushing it & see what we need to make it fast!!!

http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4db17664.jpg

Fender flares look sick!

Any chance we can see how you mounted the battery? I also want to wanted to mount my Braille under the dash?

I love how the car looks! badazz!

Chris
 

Turned out really nice. Cannot wait to see it run.

Hopefully Mr. Dunn will bring it to Kershaw for the Southern Slam.

So the testing has been going on for the last 3 days on the Auto-X.. So far the car is working pretty good.. Had a few issues with power steering.. Changing springs.. changing the ride height .. Engine tuning.. We have a list of things we need to change this week so that we can keep going on making the car handle..

Friday testing! The cones were shaking @ the big Mopar coming @ them :D

Saturday we had Blu & Plumb Nutz out @ the track.. JJ Furillo from JRI & Brain Hobaugh were out this weekend with us @ our small event.. By the end of Sunday afternoon Blu was the fastest we have ever had it on a Auto-X.. Karl comes into town next month to test both cars on the road course & Auto-X..

http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/...ps9c3c2aff.jpg


Brain Hobaugh in the hot seat! The help & information he gave us this weekend just speed up the process of dialing in Plumb Nutz.. In this pic We have the tires & wheels off of Blu.. 19's Thanks Brian!! Glad you & the family could join us..


http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7ced57ef.jpg

Sorry .. I did not get pics of that.. But I got some custom mounting brackets we desigined & machined.. I will get some pics of that..

Thanks Payton! We will see if DSE Southern Slam is happening this year.. I am sure you will get to check it out in 2014..

A few action shots from this weekends testing!

It certainly looks fast, amazing work as always.
