There are some amazing cars there Drew.

Fun video, Drew! Good stuff!!! Half drunk or not.

Cool Drew! " IEatZ06

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

,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

Green Chili, Booze, YardBird! Great gaseous combo, If I were there no one would stand next to me! 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! Thanks for postin Bro--makes me 'homesick' for out West.

We got alot done the last 2 days

Great job!
I love this kind of metalwork. Wish I was there helping you.

The bit I hate is the filling/priming/rubbing down. I hate that part with a vengance.

kinda like a rub down of the body

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

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

Lookin like it's all coming together metal wise Drew. Is that a Richmond 6 Speed manual gear box on the flo (Pic # 4 next to the valance panel)

yea Jim has so much stuff lying around it is crazy,it is a richmond 6 speed, and he has a spare one as well as a 5 speed,

if i had half the money he makes i would be flush with mopars,

again i am sooooo lucky to know jim,

Same here! We know just enough to be 'Highly Dangerous' Keep the pics comin Drew

I forget. What exactly does Jim do for a living?

Didnt Jim work for the local council.

I thought he made Por%^& err Heavy Equipment Mechanic

I thought he was a mechanic for the Denver Power Utility. Great job!

Yes Jim works for Excel energy, in the Heavy Equipment Construction Division

I remember now.

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

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

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

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

got more done this weekend,little by little

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

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

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

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

Drew you might have some competition mate.

Daves cousin........

Very very tenuous link to that Wayne (from 2004 as well) and probably over 99.9% of peoples heads.

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.
