Allison Charger - pics replaced - more work soon

[Jantrix]

Some recent work. Exhaust is proving to be a problem. Here's the first header. I will exit above the front tire centered in the wheel well. It's the stock header, some tube and some solder to do the bend. I'm going to have to really take my time to sand the filler down so that it all looks like one piece.

He'res the scratched fule pump, fuel lines from the tank, and the lines to the fuel block. There will be braided lines going to the carbs. Some detail painting stil to do.

I built a "bolt-in" cross bar, that will be installed after the engine is glued in place. It will run behind the carbs. I'm starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel. I still need to fabricate a tie rod and drag link, shifter and pedals, smooth out the body and open the rear wheel wells a bit. More soon.

Here's my choice for the scoop. It just fits the car the best. I'll modify it to channel air onlyto the opening in the hood.

Nice work. The scoop is a nice touch.

im sure I don't need to tell you this but take your time beveling the edges of that hood to close nicely over that shaker

[Jantrix]

Yeah, I was thinking about splicing in the opening from the Cuda, to avoid the issue, but the Charger has those hood lines that I don't want to mess with more than I have to. It will be a time consuming modification, but I think it will just make the build.

That will be a pretty awesome touch Rob to a great build your doing.

[Nitrozilla]

Impressive progress Rob. I'm behind you 100% on the shaker. It's a risky mod, but I think it will pay off big in the end.

Also, I apologize for the motor mount comment. That was a poorly worded joke.

I look forward to the next update.

Okay all the pics have been replaced. I'm really looking forward to getting back to this one.

Note: the pics may or may not fit the dialog as the build progressed.

I like what you're doing! Overcharged would be a good name for it!
