426 7.0 Supercharged Jeep SRT8- The Build up

This thread gives me wood.

 

Yep and now it has its own built in roller coaster lap bar.


Good Job Guys!!!!

 

wow when did those come out. Can I order those from you? Please pm me info

 

Well the interior mockup is successful. Everything works great with functionality lost. Even my 6'2" body can fit with no issues into the backseat and still fit many swapmeet auto parts into the back. Enjoy. :towel:

 

Nice

Nice work brother. Very impressive looking machine. Can't wait to see it run.

Cell Mass

 

....freakin sweet!!!!!!

Real quick............is the back bar, all the way in the rear legal?

I mean coming down, then bending all the way to the rear.

If it actually rolled onto the roof hard enough, wouldn't that fold up?

Just asking, as I "thought" the rear bars had to be semi-straight or slightly bent the other way.

Not bustin on you, just asking, because it looks cool as heck.

I wish I had enough money to get a daily driver and go off on mine like you are.

did it with the Cobra...................

 

Bryan had a NHRA Tech inspector stop by before he got started. I think everything is good to go!

 

Time to Shine

O'K' I'm ready to move on to the next step. I just received my "car care" supplies. Take a look :drugs::drugs:



A few months ago I followed some post made by jdoria on this forum. We made contact and exchanged a few e-mails. What a great guy. He gave me a detailed write up on how he details the paint to perfect condition and suggested different products. Some people may remember some of the photos Justin posted. Truly an expert in what he does. Anyway, these are the products I chose:

Zaino - show car polish and all the other Zaino detail / car wash products.
Menzerna - polish for the chrome
Quart Foamaster Foam gun
Poorboy's - Spray & Rinse for the brake dust and wheel cleaning
Spotless Water system - DI water and filtration

I will tell Bryan to pay special attention to the rear of the vehicle, so Andy at PPP has something nice and shinny to look at :dancing:

 

I think you might need to invest some money in the driver by the time all this is said and done! Screw it, it's AWD, just point and shoot right? ;-)

 

what is the ball park cost of this build??? if someone rolled in with a new GC this summer what would they pay for the same build?

 

I think the real question should be: "lets see, should I buy another house......................cash, or build a fast toy". :whistle:

 

I'm pretty sure the quote is "If you have to ask you can't afford it". Seems fitting for this build.. maybe at the end we will figure out a figure.. till then figure a 100k+ roughly.. that does include the truck though

 

Yes, we are looking for a 75 lb Jocky out of work. We have to keep the weight down :tooth:

 

I do have 1 question with the jeep being all wheel drive why just 2 slicks? or why any at all?

 

Rear diff is a 1000 hp custom 9" ford built by Western Differential. Front is stock. We feel we should let the front spin rather then push our luck. Once a solution is worked out to strengthen the front diff drag radials will be up there also

 

With the front diff out, thought it was time to clean up the aluminum strut...things.

Removing the casting marks

Sandblasting the rest of the uglyness off

Powder coating looks good...NOT. These are supposed to be silver!

Now that's silver.

Finished product in the cool down stage

We have also been working on some custom brackets for the fuel filters

 

That's nice it's the little things that make a professional build

Check out the plaque my wife got me for my office :rockon:

 

Man I cant wait for this beast to come to life!
