Cool. And I was just guessing, since you had the small side graphic with two tone on the goat. It's not like I know anything....

Nice Charger
I wish my backyard had a lift.
How did the xv stuff fit (lots of mods or easy bolt in)?
are you using the AEM box on the 6.4 hemi?
More pictures please

The front clip was absolutely a bolt in piece, no issues at all.

I also used their body stiffening kit and it too fit well.
The three link was a different story. Going into the deal they and I knew I was the guinea pig since no one had done a 72 charger before. Their kit they sent me was actually for a 70 and older cuda. We basically took the pieces we could use, and refabbed everything else. Now, that was my decision, and I am not knocking their products. They were helpful all the way through and we swapped ideas for the newer E-bodies. There is a reason I picked a 72 charger that I will share later so I knew I would have to do more than just bolt on the parts to make it work. If you buy the parts they have already built for a certain car, I don't think there are any issues at all, but I just had to have a different car. I would do it again if you are asking, because I love the engineering that they have put into their parts. We will know soon how it all works, but I think it will be fine. The major issue that came up was we had to cut 3inches out of the gas tank to shorten it for clearance of the panhard bar. That could be a whole chapter, but the finished product is cool and purists will scratch their heads trying to figure out just how we did that. All this is what makes a hot rod a hot rod, so it is all good.
For now we are planning to run the factory computer supplied by Mopar. However, there is a good chance this will change. I am looking hard at the Kenny Bell blower offered for the new hemis and once I do that, we will upgrade the computer. More on that later, but it will be a winter project.Last edited by Bill Howell; 08-05-2009 at 12:13 PM.
