TIII Shelby Charger

I broke the one in my CSXT, although body rust may have been a contributing factor . . .

Got some stuff back from the powdercoater....



This is chassis black if your wondering, not gloss black

For those who were wondering what we do to the rear e-brakes. Pretty simple actually. We use the complete L-body e-brake set-up with the vented rears.

Those are stock L-body cables going to the factory location.

Looks nice, I still have to mess around with my ebrake as its not holding well, I used stock 86 lbody ebrake cables as well.

I should be carefull what I say. It's been 12-13 years since we first did this and I bought so many sets of cables that I still have some. I remember sizing about 10 different cables when we did it. Pretty sure they were stock L-body, but I better check to be sure.

Yeah I'm running 89 style rear brakes but with all new stock 86 lbody cables,

Our problem was that as we tighten up the e-brake cable adjuster the one side (I think its the passenger's side) is grabbing sooner than the other so that the passenger's side locks up too soon.

Once we tighten it up more the driver's side will lock up and release fine but the passenger's side is still totally locked once released.

Did you lube up the center "shoe spreader" with anti-sieze? They like to rust up and bind.

Complete Polybushings rear end with anti-sway bar....

Very nice, thought yo9u said this was just a street car? Looks like a show car underneath

You ground off the welds on the K frame?

Seeing this car in person all I have to say is just WOW, the work and quality put into this car is just amazing.

Just cleaned them up a little, there's still a very slight rise were the weld is. Was thinking about leaving them, but then considered taking the top of the bead off for a better look (lol as if many will see it!) Sides, there's practically no stress on that part of the member except for the rear mount, and it's on top of double plated solid welded through steel that won't be coming apart in this lifetime.

Na, just a nice clean street cruiser/wkd warrior.

Well, so far we've only gotten to work on it 1 day a week. I'm really hoping we can step things up a bit once the FWD Coil-overs and other FWD goodies arrive!

Also, now that Glenn is going with the full L-body Koni coil-over set-up, he will be selling his other L-body Koni's. Any idea what a set of front Koni's with MP lowering springs and less than 10 000KM's on them is worth?

[turbovanman²]

Wow, I'd hate to be paying the bill on this car, lol. Great work,

Not much,

I agree with Simon; they aren't really worth anything. I could use the fronts so just box them up and send them to me so that they won't be in your way.

Seriously though, I gave $200 shipped for some good rears recently...

Update; Just thought I'd let you guys know that there are no significant updates to report.

I see that my feeble attempt at Seinfeld type humor has fallen by the wayside......... Guess I'll just have to post up some pics of the recent Goodies that have overtaken the shop!
