Greg... thanks for the offer on the Wheel fit tool....Marty has me covered..... I will mooch your AC fitting compressor and Fuel/brake line flare tool when the time comes
The tank is a Ricks tank.... Tim just made the new mounts. We had talked about Tim making the tank, but the bottom line is that its hard for a smaller fab shop to compete on price for an item like that. We could have customized it alittle more for my particular car, but in the end it would have been more expensive and would have eaten time that Tim could be doing something else on the car. So I just decided to go with a Ricks tank.
HOLY MOLY. No one needs to read the rest of this thread to understand the quality of work coming out of Bruning. These 3 pics speak about 15,000 words.

the shop tour was amazing...it made me want to hang my head in shame and throw all my tools away!! VERY NICE WORK - the C-5 Challenger is jewelry !
Well after looking at every page on this post, I am speechless. the body work is artwork on your car.
it is to bad you had to have someone almost destroy your dream of the car you wanted.
I for one had a similar exp, but not as bad. Had my car with absolutly no rust, sit a bady shop for a year. And the only thing they did was the passenger side 1/4, door, and part of the fender.
It took me a little over 2 years to find a shop that has a rep for their work.
I to envision what I want my car to look like, and want to stay with it. Good luck.
Well I got a chance to wheel her out into the sun this weekend.....pull the boxes and parts out and take some pix...... the car sits awesome when fully dropped.
These pix are with the stock wheels, fully aired out, so it will sit about an inch higher in the back but the front will be about the same. So it will have a little rake to it.... The air shocks have no valves, so she tends to lean alittle when the air moves around
Ground clearence when its fully aired out.... with it at ride height I have about 4.5 inches at the front crossmember
Next step..... I'm gonna ad some frame braces to stiffen the frame up alittle...... Wilwood is sending me some of their new spindles to see if they will work with the Alterkations... if they do, then I can get their biggest and baddest brakes....if not, then I'll do the "2nd biggest and baddest brakes" they have
Now I have to get off the damn computer and get my ass out in the garage before it gets too hot....
