Update- May 1st, 2020. Got the left head and header on, right side head gasket, and also got a present today. Turns out we had to make modifications to the header as it was hitting the steering box, . Luckily we modified it and it clears now, thank God . The present I am talking about is an AFCO Performance aluminum radiator.

Update-
May 2nd, 2020. Got the right side head and header on today. The header gave us some clearance issues as well, however that is also fixed thank God. What was wrong with that was it was hitting the I believe transmission or the pan. Now that the heads are on they are all torqued to 70 too.

Update-
Sunday May 3rd, 2020. The old transmission pan is off, and the transmission oil is getting drained. The oil looks great with no metal shavings or anything, all clear. The transmission was also rebuilt before we got the car too. The old pan will not be used, it will be saved in-case we need it for another project or we ever decide to sell the car. Going to be using a deeper aluminum pan with fins to cool the transmission down faster instead. More to come......

They actually don't fit that bad although we had to make 2 modifications. I'll tell ya one thing they fit better than TTI's that go on C-bodies

Hi everyone,
Not much updates on the Charger lately. Got a friends car project here and other projects here as well going on right now. Just got the vacuuming shown here, and the painting of the grille and headlight bezels for now. The vacuuming I personally did, it was done May 4th 2020 and took me about an hour and a half all said and done with doing both front and back sides of the car. Remember all that gross dried up seat foam that used to be in the 1st 3 pictures? All gone now, and amazingly we also found a piece of a check cleaning it out too. Yes I am serious and not kidding when I say a check. Notice the factory seat belts date coded 1965 also. Pictures of the right side of the car vacuumed out will hopefully come tomorrow, stayed tuned......

Hi everyone,
Here are the pictures of the car vacuumed out I did not get to post yesterday, of the right passenger side. It was done May 4th 2020 like the left drivers side. Notice the factory back seat belt date coded 1965, however I could not get a picture of the front seat belt with the seat there and I believe it was stuck as well. Here are pictures of the passenger side before it was vacuumed out.....

Notice the old Christmas card box as well though, it was found under the seat along with that little piece of folded paper in the springs which I will also post here as well.

Here are the pictures of the paper under the seat under the springs. I honestly thought it was the broadcast sheet but folded up, I am pretty sure I got my hopes up on it for nothin'. Oh well, all I can do is take the seat out of the car and gently pull the paper out. Any other thoughts on this though, it has to be something from the factory if it is stuck under the springs right? These are all the pictures I have for right now, stay tuned until later......
