Surprise, I found a serial # on the car in two places. Had local dealership punch it in and zero information returned. Its like it never was made

Now entering the phase of, is this protected enough from potential over spray. Is this tight and finished or do I need to revisit.

A tip of the hat to my parts guy at the local dealership. He has helped me find the unusual parts, like the threaded backup plate for the hood hinges.

Goal today: fused test wiring harness for the car.

#051 Drag Pack is being changed to a 2015 392 N/A Drag Pack. It was a running car that won best engineered at a points race.

We have brakes and got the passenger window adjusted so the window fits inside the weather striping. That was all the "fun" a person wanted to have in an afternoon. I had to retrain the plastic windows.

Good job Larry. Brakes and trying to get the windows to work are next on my project. I still need a set of headers for a Gen 3 Hemi for a Challenger if anyone has some for sale ! Also looking for a small block 727 Protrans Anyone?

If this is an original dragpak ie a 09 like mine which is #53, at the time, I think the bodies may have been assembly line reject bodies(fell off, etc), or order cancellations, something like that, at least that is what I think I remember the guys on the hotline telling me, wasn't the best of times for Mopar, but the challenger was hot. Tueton or Donato would be able to fill in the details. Where was the Vin # found?
