Default Time Machines new Modern Muscle conversion

We are offering a new conversion for mopars. We can do the entire conversion or just offer the parts to do the conversion. We offer this through our new company Modern Muscle. See www.realmodernmuscle.com.

Modern Muscle is offering state of the art conversions to the public on their own car. The idea here is take your existing muscle car and make into a modern driving machine. Please see our challenger as an example. See pics.

What did we do? A stock restored 1971 340 Dodge Challenger was delivered to our shop. What did we do to it? We changed the front suspension and rear suspensions to our new Modern Muscle bolt-in suspension kits. This allows the challenger handle like a modern day car. We added a fuel injected 6.1 hemi that made 597 HP and 528 Ft. Lbs of torque that still gets 20 mpg thanks to a Passon overdrive A833 transmission, when you do not get into it too much. We added 17 and 18 inch wheels as well. This owner did not want to change the interior on this one but we did add a vintage a/c system to this modern muscle conversion. We did this entire conversion in two weeks.

Thanks
Mike

What pulley system do you have on that 6.1?? As you know I'm doing a 70 Barracuda and am always looking for new stuff... I havent seen an aftermarket pulley system for the new HEMI yet...

Thumbs down honesty

Isnt it about time to get honest guys. The car doesnt look so good from the rear. Did someone forget how to make things straight. The trunkline is way off, the clamps on the exhaust are way off and did someone forget to paint the shocks to match the car. The wheels look like they belong on a civic. All in all I dont think there is enough honesty on this site. X-it

Registered a month, two posts, and this is all you have to say? Honest or not, that was a pretty rude comment.

I want to thank everyone for their kind words. I learned a long time ago that people that go out of their way to be negative with no justification are often harboring their own agenda and attempt to build themselves up while trying to tear others down.

Ned, it is a kit that we sell, the complete kit goes for $3000. We are really trying to step up what we will offer for 5.7/6.1 hemi items as part of our new car line. There will be more to come that we will be announcing very soon.

We see a hole in the market for mopar & ford items and we are going to do our best to fill that gap with some really good engineered cost effective products. There will be those people who feel like they could do it better. I would say to them please step up and offer more than talk. Competition is what makes America great. To be really honest, we like our wheels but as everyone knows wheels are so subjective. We have another wheel design coming out very soon. All I can say personally I love the old traditional five spokes and all the variations they have brought, but I am getting tired of seeing the same old designs just changed around somewhat.

Thanks
Mike
