A lot of people just put the V10 in there, and call it done, but i'm going to go that little bit further on this one. So i removed the front chassis clip from both, and grafted the Viper clip onto the Charger, which also makes it easy to get rid of the inner fenders, and put in some real front suspension. Might also use the rear suspension too... thinking-hard-smiley-emoticon    |

rolling Cheers buddy, yeah, they got in the other night, but maybe for the good, the imagination has gone into overdrive..  The chassis is mated, plated and also made an extension to the chassis rails, still needs a bit more clean up, but you get the idea... oh, and it sits LOW !!!   |

Here is my wheel choice, and the front end is sorted, i think the stance is pretty close to where it needs to be..    Next job is to get the rear sitting like this...  |

Yep that's the stance sorted all right.... two-thumbs-up-smiley-emoticon
Good job so far, wheels are #$%$#@ lovely ! !
Funny but I've never liked that shape Charger, the roof always looks way to long ! Considering how cool the other types of Chargers look anyway, but it does look all the better with a good SLAMMING ! ! nerwth_bf-devilsmiley

Well, the Viper rear end isn't going to happen, as i am missing too much of it, so i am going 4-link as usual..   And now for something i have NEVER seen before............... V10 HEMI Just something i thought might be cool, i now have to come up with some SERIOUS induction..  |

Post by vcv8273 on Dec 13, 2017 20:37:54 GMT -7
Shame about not having the rear end parts but your 4 links always look cool. That engine is going to be a interesting build and look as well, look forward to seeing what you do with the induction

What an interesting concept Dale! Engine building is my most favorite part of any build whether it be aircraft or automotive and you are definitely capturing my interest with this Hemi conversion engine you're doing. Very nice and tidy work on the subframe graphing as well.

Very nice color combo Dale. Is the body going to be sublime as well and are you using model master sublime ? as I got over the past week in model master rattle cans panther pink, go green, sublime, go mango, gts blue pearl and citrus yellow which I hope is close to citron yella and a can of hugger orange to build the hustlin hemi dart.

Thanks mate, yes, the body will be Sublime, with possibly black stripes. It is actually Barbados Green, with a tweak , i got a 1ltr can from a spray paint shop that converted his range to 2K. Sounds like you have some real sweet colors for your Mopar builds man.... NICE. ! |

Nice color combo on that engine Dale. Are you going to have room for the radiator or are you going to have to reposition it forward a bit more? Great progress man.

Struggled with the intake on this one, i have made 3 versions of the crossed injection, but it just wont play ball, due to the thickness of the trumpets, they wont all fit in the length of the engine, so, finally, i made a whole new manifold..  Then i had the problem of what to put on it.... i started with 3 x 4bbl carbs.  But, they didn't cut it, so ... NEXT !!  Now, this looked promising, so i went for it..   Now for the details.. |
