Thanks for the photo and input sir.

-----------------------------------

So I was contacted by interlink Source to do a photoshoot for this thing. I told them the car isn't ready yet. It won't be for even longer than initially expected.

I'm now going with a stroked out 5.7 based 392 forged bottom end. Which means...I have to get some beefy axles and upgrade the valve body on the tranny instead of just running AMG Bluetop solenoids.

I spoke to my builder this weekend and be said that we will just pull the entire motor. Spray the engine bay whatever we want...and I will send off a ton of different pieces to be polished and powdercoated. Unfortunately his schedule is pretty hectic until after sema as he is building a 1300hp hemi at the moment along with a few other vehicles.

 

I like that plenum there

This is turning in to some Daily Driver

Just documenting it in NA form minus intake (stock box since I thought that I was going FI sooner). Heads/cam:

Ur album is locked, sir dogg.

 

Hopefully they fixed it. Nothing crazy anyways as I just have the car on startup and idle. The lope sounds nastier when it's warm.

Is that just powdercoated to make the plenum gold..? Sorry for the off topic

 

It was a photoshop of a 5.7 manifold painted since they are plastic. That photoshop prompted me to purchase a ported 6.1 manifold (metal) and have that polished and powdercoated gold at the same time as the other stuff. I could use the upgrade anyways when going FI.

On a side note, the bi-xenon are being retrofitted in to the OEM fogs. Really excited to see the outcome of the headlights.

 

While driving on the freeway today, I heard a quick drag and snap!



Surprisingly the lip is decently intact, not sure if worth salvaging to mold up to the OEM bumper...



Not all was bad! I was on my way back from picking up these SRT challenger seats!

 

^i say mold the lip with rivets. looks salvageable.

 

Just a mockup. Not mounted yet:

Challenger seats are in:

 

Fogs being mounted with front lens off:



Fogs mounted and ready to roll. Plus is the the adjustment screw is retained.

 

very nice brotha

 

So after discovering that one of my company's customers (Rick Mack out of TX) also worked on modern hemis, I gave him a shot on doing the porting on my 6.1 manifold.

 

Crazy coincidence...I found a pair of 226mm axles and a Getrag 3.06 w/ LSD which came off the same challenger that I found my seats from. I guess the back story of it coming off of a movie stunt car is true:

 

Red stitching was too much and white wasn't a huge change from the light gray stitching, so I opted for gold. Nice balance from the pearl white paint yet not too loud on the eyes.

Mr incredible helped me out big time by swapping motors and wiring from my original seats/frames and swapping it over to the Challenger seats. All functions are in place and the weight sensor did not have to be recalibrated!

 

Headlight retrofit is almost complete. Here is a pic minus the front lenses.

 

Very slick. Thats going to look killer.

Thanks! Picking them up today and hopefully installing them this weekend.

Btw, Essential lites did an amazing job. They quoted me a price and even though the job turned out to be the most difficult retrofit they have ever done, they did not increase the price and just said that they appreciate the opportunity to contribute to a cool project. Out of all of the retrofitters I emailed only 2 companies actually replied and the other one stated that it couldn't be done. Well well...

I later found out we knew the same people so a win win all around. I'd recommend them for all of your retrofit needs.



Q45 projectors retrofitted headlights and Morimoto bixenon projectors retrofitted in fogs.



I also have a new front lip installed courtesy of DTM Autobody. Amazing price and quick and painless service. I couldn't have asked for a smoother transaction.

 

Thanks Chris. I can't wait to throw them on!
