Been busy with installing the vinyltop and being the first time I'm very happy with the result. :icon_smile_big: It's almost as I
would dare to install the headliner aswell. :scratchchin: Here is the link to the thread about the installation:

While waiting for doing the headliner I have started with the seats, will let them sit for a couple of days and then give it a final stretch.

Between the wrenching I have also installed 2 gates for my garage that I got from a friend. Also note the streetsign,
gives a little bit US feeling. :lol:

Per, Congratulations on a job very well done! If your car isn't becoming a #1 concourse car I don't know what would. Nice stuff buddy.

Your Charger is lucky to have YOU!!!  :cheers:

Done some upgrading of the U-bolts, the first set were to long, now I have the 7" ones. Also installed the shifter to be able to make
the car ready on the underside which is priority right now to be able to start up the stroker and also test the brakes. New radiator also
arrived to complete the enginebay. :icon_smile_big: For the rest I'm waiting for the mufflers to finalize the exhaustsystem and I also
expect a smaller order with brackets and springs for the throttlecable.
Have also waited the last 2 weeks for my headliner to hang itself properly but I have given up there, I'm looking for a proffesional guy/girl
who can do it perfectly. After all the work and money with this car I don't find it nice to have a headliner with some wrinkles and bubbles.

Are there 3 or more threads showing? Mine look close too but have been fine, what did you torque them to?

I guess I will be on the limit but the only thing moore thread can do is prolong the time before your rearaxle falls off. :lol:
For the torque I didn't find any spec so I used the force of the Viking I am. :smilielol:

those should be fine, but if you're worried about it put some thread locker on them :shruggy:
