After an extended downtime, the battery on Project: Challenger went, well, kaput, and having to start a muscle car with a booster pack just takes away some of the “wow factor” of the vehicle. So, after four-and-a-half years, we picked up a new battery in order to perform the necessary replacement. Dodge may have honored [...]
A quick fender removal revealed significant and hidden additional rust damage on Project: MGB.
Installation of C&L Cold Air Intake H400 on Project: Challenger
Custom installation of 10″ electric fan and control module.
While planning for the permanent installation of a DiabloSport Trinity in Project: Challenger, we developed the concept of a device to meet several of our permanent-installation requirements. First, we did not want the permanent installation of the Trinity to prevent any other use of the OBD-II port. There are a number of other devices available [...]

Brief overview of Mopar Performance CAI installation on Project: Challenger.
A quick fender removal revealed significant and hidden additional rust damage on Project: MGB.
Rust in the heater becomes rust in the radiator and in the engine block. Replacing this part of the system gets us a step closer to a rust-free engine – that’s a very important goal for the MG.
First impressions of the Flex-a-Lite 31165 Variable Speed Control Kit
Back in 2009, we installed the Mopar Performance Cold Air Intake in an original effort to maintain the purity of Project: Challenger. Since then, the project has deviated a bit and we’re designing it for “everyday power” instead. This has broadened available after-market products significantly, which is both a blessing and a curse given the [...]
We’ve been rolling with the Goodyear Assurance® cs Fuel Max® on the rear of Project: Challenger for several days now. As written previously, we were unable to replace the Goodyear Eagle ResponseEdge tires we had been running. Both sets of tires hold a 100V rating (load-rated to 1,764 lbs per tire and up to 149 [...]
It’s one of those things that just happens. Every guy has faced it at least once. We work hard to avoid it and often don’t even like to talk about it. But, there is simply no avoiding it at times: the flat tire. Today, it was my day, and even my tire pressure warning monitoring [...]
While working on Project: MGB, the DEWALT DCT411S1 Inspection Camera was added to our tool inventory. This was the mid-size version with a 9mm camera head; the DCT410S1 is the larger version with a 17mm camera head, and the DCT409S1 is the smaller version with a 5.8mm camera head. All three kits come with a [...]
The Accutire MS-5510B Racing Tire Gauge has been wonderful. It was purchased because of the need for a highly accurate gauge and this boasts a 0.1 PSI accuracy – the best we could find on the reasonably-priced market. It has survived being bounced around with all the other automotive tools for several years, being jostled [...]
