So as you’ve seen somewhere I started this about 2 years ago and never went no edge with it but frustrated. I recently decided to get back to work on it and seen a lot of things I didn’t like. For one the motor set back to far and I didn’t want to cut the dash or windshield for carb clearance. So with a lot of measuring and cutting I stretched the chassis until the motor sets square right where it should be. Which meant relocating the a-arms back to the center of the wheel wells. I’m waiting on a 3D printed HEMI for this project.

A little update. Using a mock up motor trying to figure out placement of the frame rails. Started modifying the hood for a scoop. Hopefully start the interior tomorrow.

good so far Stace. yep, engine placement on these newer cars can play hell on you. why the dash has to be sooooo deep is beyond me. i am planning one of these in the future, good to know some of the hassles your encountering.

So last Sunday I had the opportunity to work on my Challenger a little more and I got the roll cage totally done for the drivers area. The biggest challenge was the A-pillar bars in matching them to the contour of the body. I’m happy with the location of the front wheels now and from here it will be time to get the motor fitted in the car. Also need to add to the hood scoop so it mates to the windshield. Thanks for looking
