  To run the materialistic aspect of the the holiday season to the highest of highs, like me did you buy any "presents" for your Charger?  :lol:  It's really just coincidence that my 70 is getting new harnesses and stereo along with a bunch of dash redo stuff.....but it feels like Christmas for my Charger!  The timing was such that the time off and sale pricing gave huge advantage to getting in there now while it's not so darn hot here in Florida.
  Did any get or receive gifts related to/for their Charger?

The full Hotchkis TVS suspension system.  I was going to buy a Firm Feel box also, but the other cars needed their suspension upgrades as well and the piggy bank ran dry.  Now, to find the time to start bolting all of it on...

Black Betty got driven around today also... 50 degrees,  no snow,  3 days of rain washed away any salt.  I went for it.

NOS is nice, turbo's are neat, but when it comes to Mopars, there's no need to cheat...

The Big Black Dodge got the present of me and the family driving it to Christmas lunch and then dinner on the other side of town with the rest of the extended family. It was a treat after being away for 4 1/2 months, already done over 300 miles since I've been back, sweet!
Packed it up with stuff, dog, guitars and people and had a 2 hour cruise south in the sun to the coastal holiday pad. Best part of being back....height of summer here  :2thumbs:

Charlie, super happy to hear you got the Charger on the road.  Let me know when you want to meet up somewhere.  I got out on Christmas too.  Beautiful weather!  So glad we are not in one of those snowy/salty places!

Well, Hotchkis came thru with a new set of torsion bars to replace the old set which were marked wrong.
I got them on the car real quick, no problems. Perfect ride height, now has plenty of room for adjustment as well.
The other Hotchkis pieces are also on the car.

However, they salted already in my neck of the woods, so the car got packed up early for the winter.  :icon_smile_dissapprove:
Looks like the wheel alignment will have to wait until the spring.

Neither Charger got anything for Christmas, but I got some money for my Birthday today. Think I am going to place an order with SmartShoppers, to restock some consumables in my shop (sandpaper, masking paper, auto body supplies/materials, etc.), plan on starting body work on my 68 soon.
