2019 Challenger Widebooty HellKitty (she's giving me the meatsweats...)
Welded on the wings. And then test fitted it inside the bumper cover, all good. On the car it needs the mounting holes slotted. More chips. Then the mounting holes for the plastics. Oh joy.- motorheadmike

They installed it from the factory... and I put oversized tires on it. So I would say it's needed. Ironically a larger universal unit is cheaper than the OEM replacement. Guess I know what I'm doing, eh?- motorheadmike

I'll be the first one to concede that it makes sense for city use. However, once EVs take hold and quiet down cities, how long before they discriminate against ICE owners coming in from the rural areas and ban them? That's BS. The problem is just how disconnected from reality the WEF-type...- motorheadmike

Out of position TIG is my new nightmare. Suspending a puddle of molten metal in relative tension is a tenuous proposition.- motorheadmike

2019 Challenger Widebooty HellKitty (she's giving me the meatsweats...)
Well this was tedious. First some maths and pilot holes. Pretty sure this isn't going to be warranty-able... Then it was time to add speed holes. Such a mess. Seemed like the best way to mark clear lines over convex and concave surfaces. Finally we have speed slots! I left...- motorheadmike

Is the modern car scene a reflection of income inequality....?
I was fortunate that my Dad ran a repair and transmission shop. So I had access resources that no one else had. He was a great mechanic and a lousy hot rodder. Thanks to that, I am mediocre at both. 🤣 My kids have no idea what little empire of dirt I've built for myself, and them. It's going...- motorheadmike

This kid has spent more time building engines than 99% of YouTurd viewers and Instacrap commenters. And has already driven more miles than any 9 year old city kid... and many adults for that matter. This is the next generation of hot rodders.- motorheadmike

Why does it look like someone drew a silly face on my car at the factory? LOL. Work continues. Aluminum is hard to support with magnets. So you have to improvise. Cut a bunch of coupons to help reinforce the cuts should this need to compress in a crash, better to have something rather...- motorheadmike

Is the modern car scene a reflection of income inequality....?
I guess it depends where you live and what kind of racing you did. But, in 1999-2000 when I graduated high school I was already driving a 300hp car. My Monte. Then it became a 375hp car with some heads... and then I added nitrous. mid-12s on or off the bottle, just more MPH on. It broke a lot of...- motorheadmike

It's got a power steering fluid leak at the cooler now too. F me sideways. Bypass it? Winter use only I suppose.- motorheadmike

Idler style. Original at 144k miles. But, I got my hand on the compressor pulley and it feels like seized/seizing bearings. It's bad. It wasn't like that in December - I checked.- motorheadmike

On the way home from the body shop I couldn't get the AC to work. First thought was it finally lost its charge. While changing the wheels yesterday I found a clue. That belt was brand new in December. So three months old, with minimal use. Second thought: cheap belt. Reality check...- motorheadmike

It's obvious where one's political leanings are when they actively silence yours. Come on 2024... Let's slow this roll to a logical pace. Thankfully Western Canada has already started telling Ottawa to GTFO with some of their dumbass "environmental" policies.- motorheadmike

2019 Challenger Widebooty HellKitty (she's giving me the meatsweats...)
Pretty sure I am going to need to give this stinky p*ssy a bleach douche. Cripes. Started on the light(er) weight front bumper project. The grasshoppers were never part of the plan. But the rest of this was... except it was supposed to happen AFTER I finished the new engine for the Monte...- motorheadmike
