Looking good. I love the frame stiffening. You can't do enough in my estimation. More horsepower, more torque more trouble with these unibodies.

Build looks awesome. What is your procedure for metal finishing your welds down on the patch work? It looks fantastic!




I'm not sure I have any secret techniques that you can't already find online. The most important thing to remember is taking your time and don't let the panel get too hot. As I stitch weld I'd like to grind down the small welds close to the panel surface as I go Instead of grinding all the welds down when you're done. This helps keep the panel temperature low and It also helps when you're connecting the stitch welds as the panel thickness is more consistent with your amp setting on the welder.
Thanks
Pat

Picked up the new motor for the charger and watched a few pulls on the dyno yesterday at Indy Cylinder Head. The folks at Indy were great accommodating our dyno session and pick up on a Saturday.

The motor spec are, Aluminum 6.1 GEN 3 block that has a 4.125 bore and a 4.050 stroke, which makes it 433 ci. The crankshaft and H-beam rods are from Comstar. Diamond pistons are 10.5 to 1 and the 6.1 heads are fully CNC. Comp cam Hydraulic roller cam .572/.576 with .240/.244. MSD ignition and Fast EFI dual throttle bodies.

On 92 octane she had an average of 635 hp and 536 Lb ft of torque.
I'll post a few pictures later today

Thanks
Pat

Thanks

Looks great Pat. This car will be a screamer.

I move the Charger to Kurt’s Hot Rod shop to start the really dirty part of the restoration. I will do the body work and paint here as we did on my son’s Mustang.
Thanks
Pat

Received the T-56 6 speed transmission I ordered from Silver Sport Transmission today, along with the clutch, flywheel, peddles, and Quick time bell housing. So now I have most of the drivetrain component.
Thanks
Pat

I have the factory undercoating remove from the back of the car. It is leveled and I added some reinforcements inside the car before I cut the frame for the spring location kit.
Thanks
Pat

I cut the bottom of the US Car Tool spring relocation mount so they are flush with the frame and filled the lower holes. Then cut the rust free factory frame rails for the spring relocation mounts.
Thanks
Pat

Looking Good Pat! When you are done I think this car could easily have outrun the Mustang.

I have the spring relocation mounts installed. The US Car Tool spring mount have an alignment flange that bolts to the original forward spring perch but I had to cut it off as the Reilly Motorsport Street Lynx centers to the original frame (36 ¾”)









I used the frame cutouts to make templates to match the shape on the new spring mounts.







With spring mounts tacked welded on I will fit the upper crossbar before welding in.
Thanks
Pat

Before welding in the new RMS cross member I add a gusset inside the frame to help distribute the load to both side of the frame. I also had to make two shims to fill the small gap of the cross member.























I used a spot welded to hold the shim in place.






When it is welded in I will remove the original cross member.
Thanks
Pat

The Plasma cutter and spot weld cutter make short work of removing the right side inter wheel well. It would nice if it goes back in as easy, wishful thinking!
Thanks
