Customer wants some nice Crager style to go with all his factory chrome.

Will look great in the end!

The car is finally all done at the body shop and ready to start getting some new parts.

Car came out awesome and I couldn't be happier with our crew!

(don't mind the body dust on the car)

Here she is starting to come together!

The upper and lower control arms were first dis-assembled.. then fully restored using new bushings and lower control arm stiffening plates.. We also cleaned up the K member and rear end housing and gave everything a nice spray of gloss black to accent all the brand new parts and make sure everything is protected, and nice looking for a long time.

We opted to run the complete Hotchkis suspension setup on this car, while retaining the factory suspension geometry.

We are running the Hotchkis strut rods, leaf springs, front and rear sway bars, and shocks all the way around.

PST supplied the brand new 2" drop spindles, torsion bars, and front end bushings.

On the fuel system side of things.. We are running a stock brand new tank, straps and sending unit.

For steering.. We needed to get rid of the factory sloppy steering.. so we went with a upgraded fast ratio Borgeson box with arms.. Connected to a fully rebuilt factory steering column.

After a lot of work.. The engine is completely built and set in the car. The engine is a stock stroke 440, with aluminum heads, intake, good cam and a few other little goodies to make some decent power for the owner's all around needs.

We painted the engine all 100% hemi orange to keep with some original look.

For stopping power, We got all the inline tube brake lines mounted up where everything should be, as well as a polished Wilwood master cylinder and Prop. Valve!

Coming up next is a very important step to a build like this.. Dynamat!

We love this stuff ever since using it on our Camaro build, and don't think we could build another car without it.

On this one, We full layed down Dynamat inside the doors, the full firewall, floor, inside of quarters, wheel houses and package tray.. this thing will be super quiet inside!

Cole, the car is coming out beautiful!









I still think the Owner is "Plum Crazy" for changing the color! lol:lol:

Thanks man! And hahaha.. It sure would be cool plum crazy.

Here are some pics from a few months back at the local NSRA show here in town.

We brought a handful of cars.. and the challenger was a main centerpiece.. people loved seeing a car in progress like that!

This things is going to look great when done. Keep it up, guys!

Nice work - looks fantastic. Love the detail and colors.
