🔧 BUILD The Replacement for the Cobra. V: “Greasy’s Fuck Your Blower-Coyote, Super-Secret Stick-Shift Hellcat Build”

They are actually 10mm - 12 point bolts.

I remember your issues from your install with accessing the bolts so I ordered the torque adapter and a 10mm universal joint socket from Matco this morning! It seems like everyone has this issue with M6. Do you have any pics of where you grinded your shifter at? How thick of shims did you use on the crossmember?

Are you using your old DS bolts or new ones?

These are new bolts that came with the DS, they look like ARP.

Hey Jim, have you thought about quick jacks ? I have been contemplating them lately.

Hey Jim, have you thought about quick jacks ? I have been contemplating them lately.

I like the idea of them but they have a major flaw in my opinion, they are not conducive to working on the underside doing exhaust/trans/etc...work on the car in my opinion as you can only exit either front or back which is a pain in the ass.

This is still stock right?

Are those jackstands made out of vibranium??

It was not stock, but I am now returning it to stock. The power scares me too much.

Yes. I brokered a deal with Wakanda last year and forged the jackstands in my garage from raw vibranium ore. Very difficult process.

I am glad you are looking out for your safety and that of the others around you.

Cradle is lowered and resting on cribbing. Time to start preparing the front/rear bushings for the lockout kit along with installing all of the goodies!

Underneath of this car is filthy and my OCD is going nuts. Before I go any further I need to clean this fucking thing. ?

Always entranced with your attention to detail. I have to ask, what does all this stuff do, the lock out? To me it looks like upper and lower control arms....

Locks out movement of the factory cradle bushings launching harder reducing wheel hop. Upper and lower control arms help with that also along with adjustability for good alignment especially on lowered cars

Thanks Mike! The 4 arms on the far right are the upper control arms (adjustable for camber) the middle guys are the trailing arms, and the far left ones are the toe links (toe adjustment). These are are way beefier than the stocks arms and will greatly improve traction. The lockout kit (not pictured) eliminates the slop in the cradle bushings while still reducing NVH.
