74 Challenger with twins

Working on it pulling front bumper in and fixing front brakes. With the lower pan removed it opened up front to see mounting of intercoolers.
All was done utilizing existing holes.

Nice work, I like this kind of a build.

Keep it up.  Any chance of making it to the spring fling?

Thanks and yes I have signed up. Taking care of a few items on it for the trip. Front brakes and moving front bumper in.
Even with all the "extras" on it is still just running on the carb.

Nothing worthwhile was built in a weekend , well almost nothing I guess 

[nsmall]

Does your car still look like it does on the first page of this thread?  Are you going on Sunday as I'll be looking for you?

Thanks

[YellowThumper]

Yes for the most part. I relegate it to be a 20 footer now.
With kid ending club travel ball, graduating hs, moving on to college with full scholarship  I should be able to get on it again solidly.

Trying to knock out a few detail items before April Spring Fling.
Moving front bumper in 2 inches and removing the knee knockers.
I am just milling new slots for two mounting holes. The front one ends up where bracket starts to curve. So I slotted out the center and hammered it flat and milled new slotted hole to match. Will weld some gussets in to regain strength.

I think moving the bumper in is a great idea as it looks really slick.  I will not tell you how many hours it took me to get my bumpers right but let's just say it's an embarrassing number but I love the modification.

The spring fling is in 3 weeks so get going.

Yes, that is what is driving this round of "improvements"
I am also having to force myself not to over extend myself and not be able to finish.
Did that a couple years ago.

Nice , they always look so much better with the bumpers flush

Some of the cold air duct work is in progress as well.
Made a hardwood buck for pounding some tube into submission.
Generally I like the look of it's layout.
My stopper is the 2 curved connectors that will mount to intercoolers. I do not like how they look at all.
I will somehow change them into a single piece. It will look cleaner and at same time open the air flow better. Versions shown get pinched a bit too much where they need to clear hood. A single piece that must seal to two flanges and most likely have hidden mounting bolts. Intercoolers already have o-ring grooves in them.
I will figure something out in due time...

I thought you had the headers & turbos on there , are you swapping the whole engine later ?

On, off, on, off, repeat...
Turbos have not been driven with yet. I know myself...
I am holding off with them until I get it converted over to EFI.
If it gets running on carb with them I won't ever finish EFI.

I have a spare Magnum that will be ready to drop in when current one blows up. Planning ahead as they say. 

[Chryco Psycho]

Makes sense , you want EFI with the turbos for sure . I just remembered seeing  pix with the headers & turbos in place & the last pic shows manifolds !!
