1970 Dodge Challenger - "Etikit" Built by Tim Bruning http://www.bruningautodesign.com/ass.../header_bg.jpg |
The car was media blasted and motor & suspension is on hand and ready to go.....
http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/1...uggy018zg9.jpg The wheels and tires in this picture are not for this build. They are actually going on the Chevelle in the background. Crate motor- SRT 8 6.1 HEMI 370 cu in 10.3:1 compression 425 hp @ 6200 RPM 420 ft. lb torque @ 4200 RPM forged steel crankshaft aluminum intake 6400 rpm redline http://img244.imageshack.us/img244/5...uggy017yx9.jpg http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/2...uggy015nz5.jpg http://img244.imageshack.us/img244/9...uggy016lb9.jpg Twin turbos will be added, but there is still a lot of research to do.... |
Next up was building a fixture/jig out of 60' of 2.5 x 2.5 .187 wall tubing.
All braced up and getting rid of the rot. http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/7...ly07004zl1.jpg inner fenders going to need some "modification" http://img125.imageshack.us/img125/6...ly07005xp7.jpg rear quarter cut out.. ride height mocked up using the donor 20" rim and tire http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/1...ly07006xx0.jpg http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/1...ly07007im2.jpg |

Bellhousing... Not using the corvette Torque tube.
http://img103.imageshack.us/img103/8...g070042we5.jpg http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/5...g070052dp5.jpg http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/3...g070072hm0.jpg |
More on the bellhousing/adapter combo... Not going to use the factory Corvette torque tube because of size limitations (Too bulky and would have to be shortened anyway). The adapter & carrier bearing will make it possible to use a slip yoke driveshaft instead. The bearing was purchased at a specialty race shop in Portland.
Hopefully the pics will make more sense. http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/5...pt07021gy0.jpg http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/6...pt07025ev1.jpg http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/6...pt07026ek1.jpg Can't wait to see it with baer brakes..... http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/1...pt07045pu0.jpg |
Ride height is set with a nice level body line in the rear.....

Ordered the brakes last on Friday....
Baer 6S MonoBlock Caliper with 15" 2-piece Rotor. http://www.baer.com/gallery/main.php...serialNumber=2 Now that these are on order, custom 3-piece forged wheels can be ordered based off of the rotor dimensions. The hold up now are the wheels. Too many decisions and a lot of $$$ to spend based off of pictures on the internet... Apparently, a lot of 3-piece wheel manufacturers use the same rim manufacturer and the widest width available is only 11" |

1. Awesome Car :thumbsup: :hail:
2. Can't wait to watch this build 3. Is this being built in a Home Shop ?? 4. Another wheel manufacture that you may want to look at is DPE Engineering (( www.dpengineering.cc )) They shouldn't have a problem going up to 14" wide 5. If you guy's need to borrow a wheel backspacing tool just shoot me an e-mail and i'll send it to you. ( this one actually mounts a real tire ) 6. Did i mention that this is a really cool project ps - i think i just started smoking Quote:

He will order direct or through a distributor depending on price etc.. He is also able to get a break on some things (like the brakes) through the street rod shop he works at. I'll have to ask him again about DPE's.... Quote:

any ideas on what color it will be? Any renderings made of it?
|
Wow, awesome! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
|
Sweet...another guy cutting up a Mopar !!!!
I'm building a 70 Barracuda with a very similar theme/plan.... I look forward to watching the progress.... |
That is one bada$$ looking ride! Great stance and I'm really impressed by your wheel selection. Those will all look right at home tucked up into the fenders. It's awesome to see guys who aren't afraid to cut some of these up and give 'em the g-machine treatment.
|
That is a sweet ass Challenger, please keep us posted of it's progress! :thumbsup:
|
im lovin it! super cool build
What tyres did you have on the first initial pics for mock up? :thumbsup: |

Wow that is some "HOME SHOP" with a yoder powerhammer and 2 cast iron english wheels sitting in the background of the 15" rotor. Is the car being built at Steves Auto Restoration's in Portland or does your dad just work there? I have alot of tools but no Yoder......YET
|
