Bet that headliner was a PITA to install with the rollbar in there!

I bet you are right! I'm glad I didn't have to do it.

Carpet, headliner, and rear set were installed...

Wow, the interior looks so clean. Good job!
This classic beaute is getting back to life soon.

I like how the interior is coming along. Nice mix of old and new.

The factory hood louver callouts needed updated so I had these designed and milled out of aluminum. They will be powder coated black

The TR6060 has been a long annoying saga...

When I parted out the 2009 Challenger SRT8 for its drivetrain, I assumed that the engine/trans would be fine since it only had 50K miles. But whoever owned it did not know how to drive a manual transmission. Second gear synchro was shot and 6th gear must have fallen off the shaft because there was no gear available in 6th gear. That's just the beginning...
I bought another 2009 Challenger SRT8 out of northern California this summer...specifically for the 6 speed. With all the truckers avoiding California, it was really difficult to get it picked up. After racking up $500 in storage fees, the best I could manage was to find someone who would haul it to Dallas for for $1200. SO I had to use a vacation day, get a hotel (left after work one day), and spent $1700 on shipping/storage fees (insurance auction). When I met the trucker at the salvage yard, I walked up to the car and looked underneath it to see that the previous loser owner had stolen the transmission, catalytic converters, and exhaust. I was TICKED. I went back and looked at the insurance auction pictures and realized that they had piled parts in the engine bay to disguise the fact that the engine was leaning back due to not having the transmission. Someone had even propped the shifter up to look like it was still there.
So I bought another 2010 Challenger with 100K miles. I knew the engine was trashed and the transmission looked greasy/rough. I sent it off to D&D Performance to refresh. The report was not good either: it need a new input shaft, reverse gear, third gear, synchos, and seals. The overhaul was going to be about $1850, but he had a brand new TR6060 in the crate that he had bought from Tremec. I gave up and bought it. It arrived last week and was installed yesterday. I finally have 6 gears.

I recently started a youtube channel and will be making some videos of cars I have finished (like this one) and cars I am still working on. If you're interested, check out the channel. Here is the link to the first Roadrunner video which shows a preview video of the finished car and covers how I found and bought the car.

Wow, so if I understand that previous post, you have $25k or more just into the tranny?

No, I bought a parts car just mainly for the transmission, which didn't pan out. I parted the rest of the car out and made a little bit of money...it just cost me time. I eventually ended up buying a new transmission so have about $2500 in the transmission.

Beautiful car, if it runs 1/2 as good as it looks (and I'm sure it does), you should be proud and smiling ear to ear.
Well done!

Thank you! It is a ton of fun to drive...still working out a few bugs with the Holley system but it will happen eventually.
