The Chose One Part 2 of 3 :D

Heeey everyone ;D As you may have noticed, I haven’t posted in three days :( Unfortunately, here in Cuba we had a nationwide blackout that lasted over 48 hours q-q. Because of that, sleep was barely possible Q_Q. But we’re back, more motivated than ever to finish this project. In the last post, we finished assembling the Hellcat HEMI engine, and today we’re putting all four wheels back on the ground for the first time in a long while. First, we’ll dismantle everything that’s damaged to see what we can restore and reinstall ;D

Well, unlike the engine, even though everything looked super rusty, I managed to restore about 95% of the suspension parts we had here ;D That really lowers the project’s investment and gives us more profit margin.

After restoring, the first thing I installed was the front suspension zone. Unfortunately, a lot of things were missing from the car :( The entire suspension system with strut mounts was gone, and the stabilizer bars were missing too ;( So yeah, I had to buy a bunch of stuff, but the investment wasn’t too bad ;D … until I went to buy the 3 missing wheels and the completion tires… ALMOST 10,000 CREDITS FOR ALL THAT xDDDDDDDD Why is it so expensive? I don’t get it .

Anyway, everything’s bought now—look at it standing tall for the first time. Another thing I didn’t mention is that I installed the entire exhaust system Q_Q, which also ate up some credits, and the fuses were kinda pricey too q-q.

In the first post we built the engine, but I didn’t realize all the accessories it needs to actually run ;V Fuses, radiator, battery, ECU, and everything else added up to a good chunk.

No worries though—I’m sure the investment will be worth it and we’ll finish this before we hit zero :I or at least I hope so.

Tomorrow: Part 3 with bodywork and final touches ;D If you enjoy CMS 2021 content, make sure to subscribe to stay updated. I’ll be posting similar builds soon. And let me know in the comments what color you’d like to see on the Challenger—I was thinking yellow to match the cylinder heads, but if you’ve got a better idea, I’m all ears.
