Ah you'll do it one day! Though being in WA rocky mountain race week may be a better option! haha thats much closer! I'd love to do that one one day as well.
ALSO, I'm surprised you recognized the car well enough from the live streams to know it was the same car here!

Watched the video, even subscribed.
Your reason for the build and comment when you beat the Hellcat rings true with me as well. Rather than spend money to buy a Scat Pack I decided to build my Duster. Well, originally it was going to be my '74, but my son's '73 made more sense when he decided he didn't want it. And I just want to keep up with a 6.4 car, don't really care if I am faster. Difference for me is I am sticking to a stock style TB front suspension with a 5.7 G3 Hemi with a 6.4 cam and intake. Should be enough HP when combined with the lighter chassis to run with a stock Scat Pack.
Your second run and watching your rear view mirror flop around actually made me laugh out loud. Had to use my '74 for some errands that morning and mine has the same problem. Hate it, but I guess not enough to make it a priority to fix it either.
Love how you kept thinking you were going to get put out but went and did your business and kept winning. That was fun to watch. Nice job!!

If I did one, I would really want to do Drag Week, or maybe Sick Week. Rocky Mountain would be a decent option, just that my heart goes towards the first two.
Don't see it happening, but I thought the same thing about getting to go to SEMA and I am headed there for the second time in a month. So never say never.
To be honest, it wasn't the live feed that tipped me off. I followed the Drag Week 2024 FB group and saw a post you made from one of the checkpoints and the light when on that I knew the car. Followed your build and I have an affinity for Mopar A-Bodies with wheels bigger than 14".
Add that I have been gathering info for some time for my T56 swap so I have been in this thread multiple times to review.

Ha awesome! I've never been to SEMA! Its a ways from Vermont haha. Thats awesome that the 17s did the trick! lmao I'm also glad the build thread could be of help some how! Definitely go with the Malwood under dash hydraulic master! Its 100% a pain in the *** and without modification of the stock mounting location you can't use the factory ebrake handle anymore, however it takes all the stress off the firewall.

I bought one of these before the Malwood kit came out.
Clutch Master Cylinder Mounting
Got some of my engineering friends to help me print out a clutch master cylinder mount. Looking to get it machined now.

Did you use a Malwood master? My brother is using one in his '71 Demon build and had to go to an electric e-brake kit.

Yeah I did. Can you send me a link to the electric ebrake kit he got!? That would be great haha.

Yeah, $1200 or so between the 2 kits is too rich for my blood. I know people have been able to make it work with the factory e-brake, so not exactly sure why some interfere and others fit fine.
Malwood underdash hydraulic kit for A-Bodies
My brother bought one of these for his Demon project, but he is a long while from installing it. But I figured someone might find it insteresting, supposed to be pretty new to the market...
