Beautiful Job RC! Love the fender tag! Where can I get a similar one made for my build?

Talk to this guy on the Charger forum ............

460 clams with the U joints. I supplied the yoke.

I never had one made before, so I don’t know if it’s a good price or not. It was made fairly local, so no shipping costs.

I've had a few custom made and you get what you pay for. Looks good and I'm sure it's been made right. Balancing is not necessary if you have one cut and they know what they're doing. Building new is what I used too do.

Looking sharp RC, going to be great

Mounted the battery box today. Waiting on a friend to make up a bracket to mount the battery shutoff switch onto. Once I get that, I can complete the positive cable wiring.

What a nice looking tail light cover. Is it factory?

Yes, 69 and 70 Chargers got them. There’s supposed to be a difference between the two years, but I don’t know what it is.

Hmmm, I wonder if they fit other b bodies?

I tend to doubt it.

There's always 3D printing.

The last DS I had shortened was one I did myself for the 66 Belvedere /6 car. It worked fairly well but had some vibration above 4k rpm. It wasn't bad at all but didn't go above 4k all that much unless it was at the drag strip. Had to shorten it once the 8 3/4 went in and the shaft was in the car when I went 7 rounds at the track The /6 was only good for about 4600 anyways lol

I would leave the exhaust as is. No need to complicate things with restrictive mufflers.

Gotta run the pipes out to the rear....axe me how I know! At least for a daily driver anyways lol

In which gear? Wouldn't the driveshaft be turning much faster at 3K in third gear than at 4K in first gear?

Looks great and I've made a few bracket before. I always moved my batteries to the back, a room thing and on one, I just mounted the shut off directly on the box.

 

[Richard Cranium]

I'm copying this guy's setup with a fuse.

 

[Hey-O]

I don't have a picture of the one I mounted the kill switch to the box along with a positive and negative terminal, just in case. Less exposed parts

Now if you fabricated it yourself......... doesn't look complex.
