Hey my 71 is off for paint

[JB400]

Glad to hear you're having some fun with it.   Just don't get in too big of a hurry

[charge69]

Awesome looking Charger !! Just wait until you complete the restoration !  It will be a real attention-getter!   Congrats

[ottawamerc]

Today the car went in to get its stripes, even though its STILL raining here I decided to go anyways and I'm glad I did. The guys at the shop did a great job installing the decals and thanks to those here that posted all the proper specs for the decals I think they are in the correct locations Hard to believe that I only have to now install the rear view mirrors and upper drivers door panel and I"M DONE!!!!!!!

Now if only this rain would end here we could enjoy all this hard work and get out cruising

[ACUDANUT]

Looks great. Now you need some R/T taillights !!

[tan top]

 :drool5:nice

Ya there on the list ACUDANUT plus many other stuff,,, bring on the swap meets

[Charger-Bodie]

I personally don't mind the tailights it has now. Hard to beat the R/T lights but they surely aren't ugly. 

[JB400]

Glad to see your car earned its stripes.

[CDN72SE]

There'll be another Charger in the streets of Ontario, nice job! Maybe one day for me...

[71 SE3834V]

Yours is the only car other than mine that I've seen w/the taillights blacked out. Did you paint them? Mine were black when I bought it so I recoated them cause I liked it. 

[TruckDriver]

Very nice!

Ya I redid the assembly while building the car. When I bought it it had 72 lights in it which was one of the first parts to go, I wanted the R/T style but I have not found any yet so I went with the 71 assembly that I did locate. I repainted it black from the original silver, I used trim paint I think from dupont in a rattle can and I like the way they turned out..

[carsnguitars]

Nice...but now it makes me wanna get mine painted too....

I love that color on the car as well...

Yeah, not a big fan of the '72 taillights either, no offense to anyone who has them.
Did mine with a rattle can also. I think the blacked out tails goes well w/the black in my hideaways and the black vinyl top. Thinking about painting a silver stripe around each lens in the groove.  Yours looks good w/the black strip and black hood insert. Do you have the blacked out R/T grill?
Everyone likes pics right? Here's a pic of mine. It's a work in progress.

I was also thinking of doing the recessed area in silver , it might highlight them better?? I do have the blacked out grill but I swapped out for the hideaway head light option.

Quote : "I swapped out for the hideaway head light option".  Well, let's see it. We love pic's.

 Well I finally was able to get it out to my/ its first show today, I spent an hour or so getting it ready and clean then headed out only to run into 2 rain storms   Oh well that's the story for this year in Eastern Ontario I guess. I enjoyed the day and meeting other enthusiasts and in the end the car took home a 2nd place in the muscle car category.  Actually it was a all Mopar finish with a 72 RR 440+6 taking 3rd and a 68 Charger in first.  I came home pleased with the outcome for a first show then noticed the engine was running a little rough so I pulled a plug and woaaa its now quite white in color Oh well back to the drawing board

WHEW !! close one,, I was just checking my engine and I was happy to see there is still 176lbs in each cylinder and all that was wrong was the choke pulloff vac line was disconnected. That little line had me up at 3 am. wondering last night damn. Also installed the new #66 jets into my center carb and thus far I'm happy with the difference, I hope to road test it tonight.

Scott

[RIDELIKEHELL]

Good luck Scott! Hope to see that car someday

The 66's should help with the cruise AFR's but it might want a bit more...test, test and test again. 

Do you have a bung welded into your collector ?

I have a LM1 wideband that would take all of the guesswork out of it
