Test fitting engine. Trying to figure out just where I want it...

Looks like Bubba may need to move towards the front at bit.

*Now the Hijack*
Is that a new Charger in your driveway?

hehe.. Bubba likes it farther back..

Yah, that's my Charger, yes it's a Hemi.

Most important thing to me about his Charger is that ie has heated seats. Did I mention I hate cold weather. But it was 60 today.

Engine placement looks good, but slightly forward will not hurt if that was your dilema.

place the engine where the shifter falls comfortably...

Engine position finally decided upon. Low and far back.

Engine mounts now done.

How does the shifter location work with that engine location.

that engine placement looks alot like mine, if it is, then here is a picture

the scuttle is cmc, with my gauge cluster which seats itself 2 inches back, which is also directly next to my steering wheel. The shifter falls perfectly next to my knee, and I don't have to strech my arm to reach it. I'm 5'6

Looks pretty close to derf's. I don't have a seat in place yet.. just an empty wooden detonator box. It's all I have to sit on at the moment and go "vvvrrrrrmmm vvvvvmmmmmmm..."

Well that was just no fun at all. I just finished hacking off the axle brackets from the donor axle. i ran out of gas about halfway through the process and wound up using a sawz all and my angle grinder to get them the rest of the way off. whew.

remind me not to do that again.

I did the same thing, sawzall and angle grinder, made quick work of the axle brackets

Those welds look like a couple of mine.

Those are fairly shitty, I didnt have gas at the time, and I made sure there were no pinholes. When the car is fully assembled i am going to strip it down agrind any welds that look like that down and have it powdercoated, it wont look like that in the end

....I wasn't condemning the welds, but rather confessing my skills.

I am sure that it will clean up well.

What color are you going to powder coat it? (hahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahaha,...
