Rubbel's '09 Challenger SRT8 *INSANE* Project by BMC ... It Begins!

The motor was removed as well ...



*Deregard Mikey's sandal feet LOL ... he was just taking a look, not working in the shop.




We are waiting on the engine.

LOTS of gauges ... plus a 5" tach on the dash!

 

We decided to go ahead and fit and install the AFCO drag pak coil-overs on all four corners, and the car's stance is just sick now!! Here are some install pics ...

Old Rear ...


Old rear on the left, new AFCO on the right ...


New AFCO set-up ...




AFCO fronts ...



Here are some pics of the stance!! There is no engine, so the front is high, but you can get the idea.

 

We decided to build a custom trunk piece for rubbel's car for a couple of reasons. It looks cool, and this will be a show car as well as a race car, and we are mounting the Accumulator in the floor of the trunk and the fire suppressant system on the section behind the seats. So, we went to work to make a box for the Accumulator and the trunk!

Here are some pics of the build process ...

















We have more yet to do to finish this off, but that's the progress so far. We are doing something special on plexi to cover the Accumulator box and some orange LED, and we have a billet piece in the works to go across the 4" strip in the middle. Lots more to follow!!

 

Wow, it's awesome to have the funds to do all this great stuff let alone just afford the car.... you sir are truely blessed.

 

Yes, I do feel blessed to have an opportunity to build something like this. I am glad so many are having a chance to follow along and watch the fun unfold!

 

Hurry up already. :thongue2:

The build is starting take shape nicely.

 

We are all very ready to get Rubbel on the track...trust me Waiting on a very key component still though!

 

Gee, I wonder what that could be?


And yes, I know the answer.

You guys are doing a fine job.

 

If I could press a magic button and get my engine shipped from PPP believe me I would! After six months of waiting I'm anxious to get this motor buttoned up and shipped to BMC..

 

It will be worth the wait Im sure. Give ERL a call, tell them to get your stuff done

 

If you find the magic button, let me know what it was! Maybe a large magic stick would stand a better chance of working........
:stars: oh:

 

Very cool so far. I'm enjoying watching all this come together. However, I'm a bit of a dipshit. I don't know what an "accumulator" is. Can someone please explain this to me??

 

Info on an accumulator here:

Preciate ya dude! That explains it! I figured it was something like that, but wasn't sure. I just became a little bit more "car smart."

 

The Accumulators are awesome for ensuring you have oil pressure at crank-up and for those who like the twisties, it keeps oil always flowing. We've run these systems for years in other vehicles and wanted to put one in Rubbel's (and will in mine too) to protect his engine, oil pressure. Definitely a nice system!!

The RAM clutch and flywheel arrived today!!

 

We removed the runners from the Techco supercharger and had them powder coated HEMI orange to match the car. The match is awesome and the runners are back on the blower! Here are some pics ...







We are working on something special for down the center ... More to follow!!

 

Now that is a massive clutch assembly. WOW.

Rubbel, I hope you are training your left leg? lol That momma is gonna be a work out to shift. hehehehehehehe

 

Ron;

Hopefully all my past cave diving experience (climbing out of muddy wet holes in the ground with at least 150 pounds on my back) will help with the left leg strength. Add some adrenaline and should be good to go!!Really nice Lisa!!

 

haha awesome.

Lovin the blower color combo. Hmmm I too have some stuff going down the middle of my blower. Will be done in a few weeks. Can't wait to see what you have in store.
