    71 Challenger, 69 Charger R/T SE, 93 RamCharger, Hemi........

    Well I have a few projects lying around. My main one is my 71 Challenger R/T clone. Its modified, new gauge cluster, new wiring, new paint, etc.... I plan on getting the car done by the Hot Rod Power tour, or atleast I hope to.









    Here is probably my next project, I might do the RamCharger next, since it is mostly rust now.
    1969 Dodge Charger R/T SE, 440, floor shift auto, pw/ps/pdb, stripe delete (has it now), etc... It was a drag racer back in the day, then sat for years upon years before I was able to get it resurrected. Eventually I'd like to put it back to mostly stock, but strengthen it up, bigger sway bars,etc, go through everything, needs all the electrical, brakes, etc... redone.







    My probable next project is to "musclize" my 93 RamCharger LE PE. Needs a new rear tub, but it has a 360 Magnum, A518, 4x4, cop car cooling on everything. So I'm thinking about lowering it a bit, "drop" on a Challenger hood, like the one I have on my Challenger, and paint it blue and black.

    Then I have a 70 Barracuda Shell and this sitting around....

    It's cool how the stripe-delete 69 Chargers had the real badge back on the quarters. Whenever I see badges with a stripe I always wonder if it was the stripe or the badges that were added later.

      That was in a box of stuff with the car. I throught I would throw it on before the decal got bad. Same with the interior. The cars interior came with the car, just had to be put back together.

      Here is the car right after I started working on it.

        Was working on the old girl this weekend. Got some seals replaced. Hopefully stopped the tranny from leaking. Time will tell on that one. Next step, finishing up my wiring.

            Worked on it on and off for about three days last week, got alot of ends cleaned up and such. Got some minor leaks here and there still. Gotta get some chrome redone. Still hoping to get it done for the Power Tour!

                Sadly, other things have now taken precidence, and the RamCharger was in a minor fender bender on Saturday. So I'm going to be swapping the front end stuff, and doing a roller paint job on the replacement metal. Should be interesting.

                  Well I dug myself in good, I went and signed up for the Hot Rod Power Tour. Time to get the old girl going, here is a breakdown of what I gotta do with her.

                  - Wiring: Just finish up some loose ends, tape up a few connections, wire in a few lights

                  - Exterior: Put it back together, finish putting the grille together, find all the trim, take dents out of that

                  - Interior: Carpeting, headliner, sound deadener

                  - Brakes: Make sure they work, haven't been used much in 7 years....

                  - Suspension: I have a Just Suspension front sway bar that came with the car, just never installed. Gotta find directions for it. I also need to get a rear bar as well.

                  - Heater Box: While I might not need heat, I will try to redo the heater box and get the defrost working.... I hope

                  - Fuel: New gas tank is needed, along with sender and such.

                  I'm sure I'm missing things, but thats the gist of it right now.

                  Thanks all, I'll keep you up to date.
