Yea for work I have to mix alot of heat cure resins,that cure in 5 mins.and then I have stuff that cures over night 10 hours ,but I do use a great product, super glue accelerator , cures super glue in 1-2 seconds and man I love that stuff. no blowing holding stuff, just glue it and spray it and its over................

Still looking great, Eddie! When your done, it will be a masterpiece!!!

Trunk floor done,(rust proofed and painted white). I'll get a new plug kit when the time comes for re-assembly.

Don't make this car TOO nice Eddie or we will never get you to drive it!

Dont worry Dave, I wont post the hood hinge area, I just patched it up with All-Metal, slapped on some rust bullet, quick de-burr and painted it white. I dont think I'll win any Best of Awards with this car except for FUN.

Thanks Ade, I called Jaimie Passon and spoke with him about his new 5-Speed gearbox we both were lusting after. He informed me that Winter would be the earliest,,,so did Shafi Keisler,,,same thing Winter!! So, next month I am going to order from Dr. Diff,,Cass Eslick, a brand new nodular Iron 8.75 centersection built with a Torsen geared Sure-Grip, 3.55 Ratio and a 1350 Yoke and I am gonna get alloy axles from him too, with new 1/2 studs and Timken tapered roller bearings. It will clean me out for a while. Then I can save for the tranny,(transmission not a chick with a dick) which I have a feeling wont be out till spring. Which One?? I'm starting to think--1st one to market,,gets my business!

Thanks Bro,,

Gonna stick with the factory axle case then?
You doin some good stuff there Ed

Adrian Worman wrote:Gonna stick with the factory axle case then?

Yeah, the factory axle tubes will have to stay. Afterall, I am on a budget 13k for the Car, 13k in the engine&Trans 1600 in rearend 1k in body stuff and at least 1500 in the fuel system. Hell, I coulda bought a nice used SRT-10 ViperACR.

Eddie, this car is going to have wayyyy more personality than a Viper ACR!

In that vein, you should have bought the ACR and swapped everything into the Challenger!! Thrn you'd already have all the cool stuff, plus the way the rich boys stuff them into immoveable barriers on track days you'd have an almost limitless supply of spare parts

The torsion bar frame support has this hole in it. I think since they cut the whole tunnel out including the rear engine support/T-Bar frame it had a transmission explosion at some time. perhaps a one way sprag let loose! Shades of big daddy's foot removing explosion! Like any good hole,,it's getting filled!

Wholly hole there batman I wonder how much noise that made THUNK..........BANG

I made a steel plug and fit in the hole tightly.

my welding spotter said look out, so I looked at him!

welded, I also put some Lab Metal over the grounded weldment afterwards. Dont worry dave, it looks like crap but is strong!

Welding upside down is such a joy.

Look at the bright side. After you blow yourself up you could star in zombie movies

I removed the rear axle assembly which is from a 1973+ B-Body Charger or RoadRunner,,you can tell by the lower shock mounts. B-Bodys face down other models face up. I will have to remove the leaf spring perches and move them in .650 per side. These are 47.30 centered. E-Bodys are 46.00, I'll also replace the center section and the axles, brake lines, shackes & bushings. I might be a while before I post again, gotta have knee replacement surgery on my left knee.

Good luck with the knee Eddie, look after yourself mate

UGG knee replacement, well best of luck to ya sir I am sure you will be alright ,
I know lots of people that have had it and they all have had great success ,they are much better off

Make sure you get the one with the big ole Frankenstein grease zerts for maintenance

Keep er lubed up

Just kidding ya know

Good luck Ed,we are pulling for ya!

I know a few people that swear their new knees are better than their old ones ever were.
