What's the ETA for first drive?

2024 is the goal.

Car is taking shape nicely. I had kind of forgot about your thread and just came back. Hoping you get it out on the road this year!

Not quite there but getting closer to the shape I want. I think it is turning out even better than I hoped. Couple more rounds of filler and sanding and the whole thing will be ready for paint and woodgrain treatment. 2016 Challenger Gauge Cluster grafted to a 69 Barracuda Rallye Dash Bezel. Not a perfect fit by any means but close enough for me to make it work.




Comparing my Challenger cluster to a uncut stock rallye bezel.

What a 2016 Challenger cluster looks like lit up.

I had the Neon SRT-4 seats in my base Neon back in the day. Man I loved those seats! Those Viper seats look great too!

Gauges look great!

Will that be easy to wire up ?

Plug-n-Play with the Transmission PCS (Powertrain Control System) from Sound German Automotive.
Russel Drake is SGA and he happens to be local to me. I purchased his PCS for the 8HP70 8-Speed. It is a module and harness that basically takes the place of all the computers that would communicate with the ECM and TCM.
He has been adding more support over the last few years.

Here is a link to his FB page. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100057085766128

Today's progress. More filler and a lot more sanding and then finally some SEM high build primer.
Made a couple of small boo-boos in the primer but they will get sanded out before painting.
Totally stoked at how well this is turning out so far.

A shot of just the modified bezel alone.  Has a DMT CF overlay sitting on it. Not going to use the CF overlay.
It will have a DMT Walnut overlay to go with the door panel trim.

That looks pretty cool

Boom! That works for me (y)
A little ABS and some J-B Weld plastic, then sand and fill and prime and some paint.
