Thaks guys yes we didnt quite have the showing of cars , but we have quality over quantity,

and we have a blast, we went through 25 lbs of turkey , gallons of home made green chili,and there is never any leftovers for the next day :disbelief:

,but yea ed "i eat zo6" is daves viper its kind of funny that viper minus the juice is not that much faster than my chally about 3 or 4 tenths is all,but he has a traction issue ,i have seen them in the low 12,s up here

by **Eddie** » 06 Aug 2010 14:26

Green Chili, Booze, YardBird! Great gaseous combo, If I were there no one would stand next to me! :s024:

The Viper has 488 cubes in the RT/10 Version. Lots of raw potential, if he threw a turbo kit on there no one would touch him! :lol:

Thanks for postin Bro--makes me 'homesick' for out West.

oh man i was talking to jim about the simularities ,

if you cut the metal to small you have to fill it in with weld material,

if you cut the tooth to small your screwed :lol2:

start big and grind/adjust to fit, much easier to remove material rather than adding to fit :wink2:

by **Eddie** » 08 Sep 2010 13:45

Got the front panels welded,My buddie doug is one hell of a welder,just plain awesome,

and we got the subframe connectors adjusted to fit, they say "LASER CUT",

but that doesnt mean they fit, there is always some grinding to make these fit :s024:

How ever having the spit it is much easier to do it on the car while upside down...................... but we will not be welding them in place in this position,we will have to put the car down on stands for that part

by **dave-r** » 19 Sep 2010 15:56

Don't forget to make provision for the emergency brake cable through the frame connector. :wink:

by **drewcrane** » 19 Sep 2010 16:50

oh yea if you look to the far right i ground a big slot, however doug was thinking about running a tube through there , which is not a bad idea, and he is pretty crafty and has no job so that might happen, but yea i had my chally there for reference and made sure to do that :thumbsup:

by **drewcrane** » 04 Oct 2010 12:44

got more done this weekend,little by little :nod:

by **RedRaven** » 04 Oct 2010 12:51

Are many folk getting the high end option Chally or are they nearly all low end options?

by **dave-r** » 04 Oct 2010 13:16

How does a maid earn enough to buy a hemi Challenger?

Was Jim paying her for "extra work" or something? :lol:

by **drewcrane** » 04 Oct 2010 14:09

Im not sure most people I talk to at least get the hemi,

And Jim was at an estate sale buying stuff he doesnt need and he called me at his house and told me some chick has a new chally and wanted to show it off to him,

so she shows up and me and Doug and Bob remember her from way back when Jim had a maid (20 years ago),

So she shows up with some sexy pics of her in front of her chally and then she pulls out an invite to a stripper party and she claims she is just a "belly dancer" yea right a belly dancer makes 38 k to plop down on a new chally?

wow I better get my belly in shape and take up that career :lol2:

by **RedRaven** » 04 Oct 2010 14:41

She don't look like any kind of dancer to me Drew. Those are not dancers legs. They probably spend more time inverted than the right way up. :lol:

Major work
