Well the paint is on Challenger Drag Pak #24 and were begining final build tommorow....

Lots of paint fumes and enough saftey violations to give an OSHA inspector a heart attack but shes all set and will get detailed and dusted off tommorow.

I love my dad but Im never painting another car for him again as long as I live.....well thats not true, but damm I dont want to....our last full restoration toolk less time in paint than this thing. But then again it was all already apart.

So some pics for those that care........Saftey Third !

Looking good for runs in early Jan, the ECU is running PERFECT on its Test mule, the SRT8 (with the DP manifold).....so our base map for startup is good. Some tuning on the Dyno and BANGO ! Idles like a kitten at 600 and womps out to WOT like it should.

A driveshaft and some headers and were good.......minus all the other things I forgot and will figure out while thinking Im done....

Cheers all (the bunny suit is entirley an effect of the fumes I assure you...., as well as my dads spelling of Bunney on it .... thanks dad make me put on ears and dont even spell BUNNY right)

The car is getting a full wrap by one of our sponsors so....hence its still all white

For those that care I put a whole craplpoad of new build pics up on Flickr.
