datsunfreak Posted November 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 Crossmember and diff back in... Got a 2013 Dodge Challenger front spoiler and gave it a test fit. Had to cut about 5-6" off each side (may have cut too much), but it fits okay. I'll probably keep looking... Got started on the shift boot also. Pics to follow... 3 Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted November 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 The console I'm using came from an automatic car so it doesn't really have a place to attach a shift boot, only the four holes that the shifter bolts into. So I had to get crafty... Cut two pieces of styrene sheet to the width of the opening, then drilled holes to match up to the holes in the console, and rounded off the edges... Then used some material to sew up a new shift boot, inserted the plastic pieces inside the boot, then used them to bolt the boot down with some 3/16" bolts and nuts... Stays nice and tight and even looks semi-professional. :rofl: I used some spare fabric from the boot to make a pad for the cubby in the front of the console. :thumbup: 4 Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted November 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 its almost Dec!!! Yeah, I know... :blush: any progress on fuel cell?? Not yet, but getting close. Too many projects straining the budget. May have to bail on one or two to help this one get finished... And while I'd love to stick to my December 21st deadline, better to miss it and do it right than make it and cut corners, ya know? :thumbup: 1 Link to comment
graveltrapp Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Your rear end is looking money. So is the cars. What camber plates did you go with up front? I don't recognize the shape or color. Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted November 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 What camber plates did you go with up front? I don't recognize the shape or color. They are made by Ground Control. Most people don't run them because they require a good bit of cutting to fit. But they offer way more camber adjustment than the usual "bolt-in" options. These were actually fitted by the previous owner, but I dig them. :thumbup: 2 Link to comment

Kirden Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Those look beefy. You'd rip the support before you tore the plates :P Link to comment

Nice looking plates. :cool: Link to comment

Yeah, not sure why he did that. He lurks on here so maybe he'll speak up. ^_^ I will probably at some point re-drill the front holes so that I can add some caster to it. :thumbup: 1 Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted November 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 should have made the boot longer Thought about it. Still have a lot of this material, so... Also thought about the taller knob (hehe), but this is about as tall an overall height as I would want it to be (4" knob). I think a good compromise would be to keep this boot, shorten the shifter about 4", then use the 8" tall knob. Then the overall height stays the same, the boot comes all the way up to the knob, but the boot isn't too tall. 2 Link to comment
