    71 Challenger Throttle Body and kickdown cables 440BB and Holley Super Sniper EFI

    ah ok, thanks. Do you know of any full on kits out there for setting it all up? I have the TB cable but it doesnt come with any springs and such to connect it up. Ill be honest, this is probably the part of the build where i feel out of my element.

    71 Challenger Throttle Body and kickdown cables 440BB and Holley Super Sniper EFI

    Hey all, So way back i had picked up a mopar 440 and the a727 transmission to swap into my 71 challenger. Did the whole engine build and its all in the car but the one thing missing is the throttle body and kickdown cables configuration. Now, are there any brands people recommend for an adapter...

    71 Challenger Grill Inserts - Update

    I do plan on selling these eventually for those that want to replace their old and damaged sets if anyone is interested, but first Im still working on the grill insert trims getting that done. Though if people want to keep their original trims then I can work with that too, but I would like to...

    71 Challenger 3D printed designs

    oh i definitely know what you mean by the cost of authentic argent silver paint. The grill inserts are non-textured argent silver and i probably couldve gotten away with just one can but i ended up having to buy 2 in order to fix a visual defect on one of them. I am tracking costs though because...

    71 Challenger 3D printed designs

    haha no lie, I just googled that. I had no idea that existed lol Given the size, that would indeed make a nice placement for a phone or a small 7" screen potentially. Though I would need anm original of it to be able to reproduce one that looks exactly like it or to at least create something...

    71 Challenger 3D printed designs

    thanks bud! So I use a few programs. When 3d scanning, I have to do the initial config into a mesh in einstar's starvision program. After that, depending on density and if i need to do modifications to the actual mesh then I will load it into blender to do that, including potentially reducing...

    71 Challenger 3D printed designs

    Ok lastly, I cant forget to promote my 3D printing areas at both my home(pic 1) and the new one on the farm(pic 2), as I couldnt have done these creations without them. PS. the tv is planned to be mounted up on the wall above its current position, but i ran out of time as I was prioritizing...

    A/C Vent to VintageAir duct adapters - So finally, earlier this year I saw some guy online that was selling 3d printed reproductions of the stock a/c vents and I was greatly interested. Tbh, I hate the idea of aftermarket vents placed at the bottom of the dash. For one, it looks tacky, and for...

    Speaker Cable Management - So this one was kind of a spur of the moment deal. So, all the speaker wires go to the trunk of course to the amplifier. But since the battery is also in the trunk, I did not want the speakers to cross over the 0 gauge cabling and cause interference. So I realized that...

    Rear Speaker Adapter - So I had bought Rockford Fosgate T1675's for the rear speakers and while they came with a 6x9 to 6.5" speaker adapters, tbh they didnt fit all that well. I remembered that I had a 3D scanner and I could just make my own! So I did the exact same thing I did with the center...

    71 Challenger Grill Inserts - Update

    Hey guys! So after lots of time spent on making the grill inserts, sourcing the inserts themselves to generate 3d models, 3d printing them, getting the non-textured argent silver paint, getting the black segments painted right(painted the inserts black first before painting argent silver since...

    1971 Dodge Challenger Grill Inserts Paint Color

    Excellent! Yea a couple weeks ago i got mixed up thinking i needed textured so i picked up a can from classicindustries, only to hear that it was non-textured, and since both my grill inserts dont match with one being textured and the other not, i just had to be certain and ask on here

    1971 Dodge Challenger Grill Inserts Paint Color

    yea that was one i had previously looked at, but it seemed a tad conflicting. Was the one guy correct in saying that 71 r/t's did not use the textured argent silver? also it looks like the 8 mounting bracket tabs on both are left black. Hm good thing i noticed that this time around.

    1971 Dodge Challenger Grill Inserts Paint Color

    Hi all, So in my quest to reproduce these rare grill inserts, Ive come across an issue. What type of argent silver paint is used to paint these inserts? i got a driver side and a passenger side from different people on here and one looks like it has textured argent silver, and the other looks...

    1971 Dodge challenger grill insert chrome trim

    Aha yes that does actually! So it looks like its somewhat flush but still *some* gaps, specially where the clips are located. Ok perfect, so my design should hold up well enough then. Thanks a whole bunch!
