Only the trunk floor is reproduction, all the parts under the seat are original to this car. I would be surprised if the parts that you are looking for or not available. Good luck!
Thanks

Wow, that's some nice work there. I don't think it will ever rust now.

I just remembered today marks one year into this build that I’m shooting to finish by next spring. It is so true how fast time fly’s by as we get older :-(

Still on the rotisserie waiting to get some money for suspension parts to put her back on her wheels and start the body work. Thanks for asking.

I drop the K member and remove the bump stops from the frame rails. The K member has SSBC disc brakes and is in good shape with a tight steering box and I would like to sell it if anyone is interested? I will post it for sale soon.
Thanks
Pat

I cut the bump stops off so that they could be reused on another car if someone needs a set?
Cleaned up the frame rails and fit the RMS K member.
Thanks
Pat

Even with all my calculations, double checking with the different venders, and other threads with similar suspensions it was a relief seeing the front wheel on the car with great clearance and no rubbing issues with in the fender.

Thanks
Pat

I mocked up the steering U-joints and cut the shaft to fit, nice hardware supplied by RMS!
Thanks
Pat

I started relief cutting the right side only of the trans tunnel to fit the T-56 transmission. I saw this method used on an E body in another forum and it looked like a clever way of disguising the modification of the trans tunnel to fit the big 6 speed.
Thanks
Pat











I attached a guide so I could make a straight cut with the plasma cutter.

Nice work, I really like how you used the guide for making a clean cut. Can't wait to see your car finished!

Fabricated an aluminum K member dolly as I will be installing and removing the motor and trans a lot over the next few week to fit the tunnel to the transmission.














I will have a scissor jack at the trans end to help adjust the fit in the car.




With K member dolly made I move the motor from the house to the Hot Rod shop. This is as close as the motor has gotten to the charger and it is about to get closer!
Thanks
Pat

Got to love a Plasma cutter! Used about 7 layers of tape for a guide and cut!
Thanks
Pat

Nice work!

Installed the bell housing and transmission to the motor and set it up on the K member dolly. I think I will need to remove the right side valve cover to clear the right side inter fender. Tomorrow I will test fit the motor and trans in the car to check for tunnel clearances.
Thanks
Pat

Dayum, that is coming out really nice...

Just like my 1st Charger with the Ray Barton Gen 2 Hemi I needed to remove the right side valve cover to make it past the inter fender. I’m sure if the motor had stock valve covers it would have fit but the Indy valve covers are taller. Now I can start shaping the tunnel to fit the trans. With the lift and the fact that you can put the motor in from the bottom makes fitting and working on the tunnel a lot easier!





























I’m left with about 2 3/8” hood clearances, tight but it should work with a custom made air cleaner.
Thanks
Pat

You do great work Pat! Keep it up.

Thanks Ralph!

I have the trans tunnel tack-welded in place and ready to double check the trans fit.
I open the tunnel about 3” at the front and about 1 1/4” at the tail shaft. Now I need to make an removable shifter cover that will use the original shifter boot.
Thanks
