You are making me feel so ashamed, I haven't been out in the garage touching my Challenger in a month or more!

Great work Russ!

Michelle my female relatives refuse to ignore my FB posts, wish they would unfreind me so I could put tonights episode up! Actualy I can upload just too my page right? I'll try one ;)

I removed the Cummins factory internal gated actuator thats 10" long and way to heavy and using its canister made a compact, adjustable mount thats seriously strong but light. Started to pull the shift cable thru for the custom 3 spd auto, may as well get the stuff in that cant be moved before mounting little stuff. Speaking of solid mounts the Mezier water pump should probably be located soon, another item thats not to flexable in location.
