Drag Week 2017 wooot!

This is fun getting to watch and feel like we're part of your team!  Thanks for the updates.   

No prob. 

We've been away for work. Need to catch up with pics lol.

Congrats on making the show!!!   Whats with all the concerns of getting it done?  Be like everyone else, be wrenching Sept 8th.... Then again if you were with the RoadKill guys that would be Sept 10th...   As mentioned, IF you can make the time, post pictures.....

True.    half the guys got done waiting in tech line

We've got plenty of time. I'm just impatient.    Magnaforce says 3-4 weeks til we get there stuff. So I say 6.  . But all else should be done and in well before.  We can even do custom headers (fender well) and put motor in (engine plate) before.

I should get some pics Friday.     It's no prob. Want to document the build. In the past I've been too lazy to do it and wish I did after. 

Thought about bringing it to Carlilse but feel bad for the Challenger.    that's his show.

I know!     be fun as hell!

Got off the plane after a 14 hour flight, dropped off the suitcases and headed to the shop. 

Another saga of the Mopar world. The foundry that makes SFI bellhousings for the 5 major hd trans builders isn't doing their Mopar run until late June. Our guy hunted down a Reed bellhousing and ATI had a template to grind their casing to fit it (I guess GM used that combo for one of their Camaros ... and brother of shop owner also is sponsored by. ATI ... so that helped. Lol. )

Tunnel cutting looks done ... so hopefully get that done and start plumbing fuel system next week.  Along with bunch little crap - trailer wiring harness, engine bay paint, license plate light, interior light to LED, trunk light, etc.

Let me see if these pics won't post sideways. Lol

Edit: I see I missed the memo on taking landscape photos on iPhone. Lol. I'll fix on desktop this weekend and add more. :lol:

Ya. I can sleep on planes so 20 hours in the air was like two nights of sleep. 

Some more pics. Oriented correctly. 

The front valence is going all black eventually.   

All stuff out now for Magnumforce stuff.

I know. Using that term "drag week" outside of car people can raise some eye brows.

Thanks Cody .. ... and thanks for fixing pics.

Tunnel and trans mount done. Picked up some AR rims for street - Centerline look.  Started on fuel system. Blacked out front valence.

[Cuda Cody]

You're making good time.  Getting a lot done with plenty of time to spare.  You have until September, right?

[Marc70challenger]

Thanks. Yes, Drag week is early September.   Realistic estimation now is first week July. Need to really test it on street - engine, trans temp .. stuff like that so no surprises. Then track tuning.  Plus I need practice. Lol. Been long time - and quite slower car since I made last hit.
