      Believe me: I know how fortunate I am to have such a skilled AND trustworthy craftsman doing all the fabrication!

      Here a few pictures of the K frame to better illustrate the cuts. The first picture is looking at the IRS frame from behind. The cut is a 1" slice that was taken from the right side, just outside of the right differential mounting bolt. A 1" slice was also taken out of the forward bar of the IRS frame (not pictured)



      The next two pictures are also taken from the back side of the IRS frame. The first picture is the passenger side where a 1.0" vertical cut was made to both bars of the IRS frame.



      This picture shows the "Z" shaped cut on the driver's side-just outside of the left differential mounting bolt. On the driver's side a straight 1" slice was not possible duet to the contours of the IRS frame and the left side differential bolt bushing.



      This is not the differential Ill be using. I plan to use a limited slip 3.91 Getrag differential

      We mated a 6.1 block to a TR6060 shell and dropped it in place





      This was the first time I got to sit in the car and make car noises.

      Master cylinder and pedals were sourced from the Challenger SRT8 I parted out.

      I tried to sell these Challenger SRT seats for 6 months with no luck so I guess I'll use them in the Roadrunner. Usually I sell stuff and 2 months later I wish I hadn't so this was a nice change!





      The roadrunner has never had front seats in it for the last 20+ years so It was fun to sit in the car for the first time

      The pedals from the 2009 Challenger are mounted with 6 bolts. We tried to mount it with just 4 bolts, but the pedal bracket flexed too much so a plate with two more mounting points was added:



      View from the side. it will still be boxed in


      Pedals were hung but the and placed the pedals over the steering column hole. The pedals were heated and straightened. Then they were cut and the foot pads were removed/reoriented

      In order to keep the seats low and provide clearance for the electric motors, a custom pan was made under both front seats.

      I ordered a shifter with a 1.0" lateral offset (toward the driver) and 4.25" aft offset. Disregard the 4 speed pattern on the handle!

      Here's the first part of the tunnel:





      The Holley Dominator ECU mounts to the top of the tunnel near the firewall. You can see it in the next 2 pictures:

      I am envious of your build and really like what you did for your subframe connectors! I will be looking at your build for future inspiration on mine, for now though I am just keeping it simple and getting the car on the road.

      Since the Photobucket extortion, I've been dreading the thread rebuild but I finally bit the bullet and installed all the pictures using imgur.com. If anyone else is still looking for options, you should consider imgur. I grown to like the site in the last week. Anyways...

      This is the second section of the tunnel has been roughed in and the new column has been installed. This picture also shown the shifter installed.

      The IRS is getting welded in so the frame rails were cut:





      This is the plate that will be welded in to cap the frame rail.
