Wrecked mine Friday night. Needs a whole new front end and hood. Bus stopped at a RR crossing and the lady in front of me slammed on the brakes and all it took. Not even fast enough to set off the air bags,, thank H/C gods. But the hood is shot. Ate an extra helping of black eyed peas last night.

Thanks guys and sum gals out there. Cash out of hand will hurt but keep the insurance company out is the best way to go. May BEEZ I can get a shaker hood out of this?? Got everything I wanted when I got raped except the shaker. I am attempting to bring this car back to retro. Got the engine painted, shiny black, red calipers, black louvers on the rear wind shield, I got the louvers for the small winders in the rear, need to get them painted the black, got the black outs for the rear lights. Don't dare do the fronts unless you want to get pulled over,, in Florida. Went that way twice. Aligator tears are dun and ready to move onward. Fix this ladies Kia mini van,, out of the way. Then fix mine the way I waz wanting to any way. New heat exchanger, pulley,,, ect. May as well. Still drivable to the dealer shit on Monday. Get parts ordered.

Sorry to hear, you have shit ass luck man. Can I mail you four leaf clover or a horse shoe? If your heat exchanger is damaged I would avoid driving the car if possible. These cars heat soak too easily and if you are driving in hot weather that car is going to get hot quick with no way to cool itself down. Also pulley? Like which pulley? Not the one that makes the unicorns piss in your intake and then make you go weeee? If so I would for sure not be driving it!

Thank you my friend. 1 20 am and still thinking and have driving gun shy. Driving like I am 65 years old. I am 3 weeks from being 65 years old. But will feel better to get this behind me. Not the 1st or last car I will wack. Just hate to look at it. Now the subject matter of OAcoolers. I am going to devise a new and better mouse trap while I have this critter apart. The new pulley,, 2.32 new one. I, myself, or me may tune it myself or have some one local with a dyno do it. I can only go so far with it and have done it a few times,, butser.May fork out that extr $$ and have a pro do it and then redo it myself. WHAT?? More than likely. I only have 1 moe year left on my exstended warranty, so what the hell. The MOPAR engineer I have met with 3 different times, says. Not a whole lot you can do to these engines to F em up. Kinda fool proof till you take the guts out and start messing with em. I have a good 1st year blue print to start with in witch dosen't cost that much $$ to increase the HP. Can get it to 1,000 hp with in $7,000. Or less. The heat exchanger will be the 1st. Cooler engine moe HP faster car.

New Brembos and z26 pads. The rotors have some hot spots but 34mm so I’m fine with them for now.

Just did my winter rest up oil change. Stahlbus drain plug and oil cooler access door make the job a nice clean breeze. No more oil all over the floor and unscrewing a dozen+ Plastic push pins and 10mm screws. If I get my nerve up while the car is up my next mod is to pin the crank. I’ve got all the parts, just need to man up and do the work.

Not work done to the Hellcat, but work done for the Hellcat. I found an old respirator storage cabinet at work that was no longer needed. I painted over the respirator decals on the door, designed and CNC machined a sign for it, and machined some stainless steel posts to mount the extra shelf underneath the cabinet for all the filters. I am happy with how it came out, and now I have plenty of oil and filters on hand for the HC, SXT, and Jeeps.

The Z26s do MUCH better with an aggressive bedding - Be careful!

Aggressive? I thought this was supposed to be done slow for about 300 miles?

When I bedded in my Z23’s I think it was something like 3-5 hard stops from 30, back to back, and then again from 50-60 or something like that.
