Excellent fix Joe! Nice work, this will really enhance this model a lot.

That first pic showing the downward pointing exhaust: Really???!!

Completed subframe with modified spindles to drop the front end for a lower stance up front along with the mostly completed bare engine:

I purchased my first two MAD prewired distributors. I've gotta say that I am definitely impressed. This cut my time in like 1/10th of the time from drilling the OOB distributors and inserting the ignition wire myself. They come in all kinds of cap and wire colors.

Looks great. I’m a big fan of the pre wired stuff for sure.
Thanks,

Managed to get the engine mostly done on this rascal. I'm mostly happy with this but that goofy looking fan clutch I'm glad to say will be mostly hidden in the fan shroud.

Thanks Mike. I managed to shoot a coat of semi-gloss black on the chassis followed by a light over coat of super thinned out gray which helped to tone things down some and bring out some of the details. I also installed an engine oil dipstick on the driver's side of the engine. Here's everything all fitted up and ready to go now.

Looks good Joe. That's how you drop an engine out of a late model Charger. Drop the cradle.
Thanks,
John

Good-looking engine, Joe.

I somehow missed that we do cars here, that's a pleasant surprise. I'm interested in the MAD pre-wired distributors and will do some searching before I start asking you questions.

P.S., I guess this is my first official post here.
