The time has finally come‼️

File line routing is next, need to swap the starter to get the passenger side header to clear too.

What starter are you swapping to? My stock 2014 challenger starter is uncomfortably close to my idler arm.

Going with this one…it’s apparently smaller to clear the primary tube. Hopefully!

Well it’s been a bit since the last update I guess! Lots of things done, plumbed, wired and fired! Cleaning up the wiring before it comes back to my place and I start on the interior…

Very impressive. I like that you too are not going for paint splotches, numbers matching etc.

Yea been there down that before, I was out to build what I want without the mopar purist influence…although I know I’ll get the mopar hate along with it lol.

Looking good!
Purist or not, anoyone enjoys a classic muscle car with a(ny) V8 under the hood!
Whats for the interior, original seats or something custom?
For my seats i am still in doubt, either spend a ton of money to rebuild the correct front bucket seats or buy some aftermarket seats and use that. For comfort the aftermarket route is better.

Thanks, interior will be mostly stock looking short of the dash, console and some scat procar elite bucket seats. Backseat will be factory. A nice mix and match I feel.

Another big step yesterday. Cleaning up wiring and bleeding all the things! First time it moves under its own power in 8 years!

 

[ckessel]

Gotta love that. I can't wait till mine is operational.

 

[Torkmnstr]

Been a bit but I’ve been busy! Interior, exterior and now we are back together. Time to put miles on her for break in!

 

[Torkmnstr]

Back together!

Hope you have it LoJacked or outfitted with AirTags considering your location.

Finally got her a bath!

It’s actually a Ferrari color called cana di fuceli. Basically a grey metallic but with fine flake action.

Well a bit of set back…motor blew due to a bad tune. Lean and too much timing goes kaboom…factory pistons suck.
