Wrench Fest 2012

[RTCHAS]

How do I start! Got up 7:30 had garage ready as J pulled in at 8:30...Maggy went under the knife @ 1/4 to 9 and Marko rolled in with His Bro and 2 Dozen Donuts/Bagel's.. Yummy...Donuts. Bill arrived right behind them with a trunk full of tools..

We rolled J's Maggy off the lift at 9:45 and he rolled it into a Mud Bog on my front lawn around 10... Trey showed up in the Ram removed J from my front lawn..

We started wrenching on Marko's Charger after rolling the lift out into the drive and thrashed on it most of the day with all hands involved

Tim and John showed up and proceeded to destroy a nice set of billet center cap's Thanks to Bill for saving Tim's BAT Cap

After we got the rear buttoned up Tim was next with a full SRT swap Frt struts and springs and rear shocks and springs. We installed it and J's old Black wheels with Tim's Pretty center caps it looked wicked after the drop and new donut's. .Oh and replaced a tip on the exhaust too..

Then Claude pulled next too J's Lawn Turf marks and Put 2 more stripe's in my nice soggy lawn so it now looks like High school punks did donut's on my front lawn with divot's all over the place!! FML Claude got stuck but spun up enuff of my grass to get out with out the use of Trey's Ram lol.. Thanks Claude!

While all that went down we had Claude helping Marko find a way thru downloads and Claude's extensive knowledge of the Predator to get a update on Marko's Charger

John and Tim played Nascar special Olympics with a 1 hr pit stop Its all good guys the more ya wrench the faster ya get. But Dam John I wish I had an after shoot of your Charger it looked kickass after wheels!

And last Trey and that BIG F'n Ram went up as Hi as the lift could go under duress and with little room to spare on all 4 corners and got a tailpipe trim and a rattle fixed !

We pulled the lift back in the Garage and went to grab a few brew's and some grub at the Bar next to me by 6:30 and now I'm SPENT!!! Was Great to hang with all you Guy's and nice to Meet Jim and John hope we didn't scare ya off..
Lets try and do this or SOMETHING again soon before Car Show season maybe carts again? Bowling? Plan it and Im there Guys! And Marko thanks for the Donut's

[sgt tunez]

We almost ran out of daylight but we just made it! I have a few pics and will take pics of new stance and wheels tomorrow. Thanks again Chas for the blood, sweat, tears, and laughter at my expense! Had a great time!

[345PAHemi]

great pix! btw...all i did was ask the girl behind the dunkin donuts for 2 dozen assorted donuts.....how did i know that they were runnin valentine's day donuts this early ...but we're secure enuff to eat heart shaped donuts, right?

[AgentSmith68]

pics look great Chas! thanks for hosting I had a great time Saturday and it was a pleasure to meet all of you guys!

[MoparJ]

Had a blast! And sorry about the yard Chas! I feel a little better knowing Claude helped rearrange your front yard too...

So the Flowmaster's definitely have some drone right around 2200rpm. I think it will be a pretty easy fix. Since I hate the Flowmaster tips anyway, I'm thinking of adapting the Edelbrock reso's and tips to the Flowmaster system. This will kill 2 birds with one stone, drone and fugly tips!

I finally cleaned my car this weekend and got my Vipers mounted. Unfortunately the driver side rear rubbed really bad and the fender chewed up the tire a bit on my test run. I had to do some quick fender rolling last night to get some clearance. It appears the entire cradle is shifted to the drivers side by at least .5 or .75". I"ll have to take some measurements under the car and move the entire cradle.

Here's a $hitty pic of the Vipers mounted up... I'll get better pics soon.

[MoparJ]

Oh, and you're not seeing double. The MSRT8 in the background is our CFO's. He decided to one up me and bought it 2 weeks after I got mine

[MoparJ]

Here is a better pic of the wheels...



This is a better pic of the MSRT8. Only mods are Corsa catback, TruFiber Carbon fiber hood w/scoop, drop in K&N.

[RTCHAS]

I know who owned that SRT hehehe they sold it for a Ford Edge and They are on here from time to time..lol

[RTCHAS]

BTW Jay WHEELS LOOK KILLER!!!!!!

[sgt tunez]

Wheels look great! Why on earth would someone sell the MSRT to get a ford edge?

[MoparJ]

I was told the previous owner was a woman... So not sure if this is who you were thinking about Chas.

[claude9039u]

ep we know whos car that was and she never drove it. It just sat but its a very nice car for sure!

[MoparJ]

Yeah, it had less than 5k miles on it when he bought it in October of 2010. Think he only paid 23k for it too... I was a little jealous :-(

[RTCHAS]

Yes, that is Scott's Wife's old ride (Serioussam) He is on here from time to time has a Yellow Rumble bee ram. I bet it never broke the tires loose once.. Shame you didnt grab it.. They went to Ford traded it for the Edge before Carlisle last summer. So it sat on the lot for a few months..I bet your wishing you found it first.

[MoparJ]

I definitely wish I had found it first. I'm sure he still hasn't broken the tires loose either. One day I'll get him to come out and meet up with the group. Maybe we can get him to reunite it with the original owner!
