Skippy may want a 69 more than a 72 though.   ;)

Besides I'm housebroken...for the most part.

Before Skip decides, we'll start with a thorough check of the undercarriage, look for cracks, splits, bends, and holes that don't belong.  Then we'll do a test drive to check for reliability, performance, and overall feel until satisfied.

Oh yeah and we'll check out the cars as well.   :yesnod:   :lol:

So, after a quick 6 a.m. hose job...

I put a battery in it and gave it a whirl...

Not sure if it was locked up or not after sitting in the same spot for 14 years...

I was thrilled when the old 318 spun right over.

A quick shot of ether down the carburetor and a crank of the key produced a short lived rumble out of the tailpipes.

Hmmm... :scratchchin:

Sounds promising.   :coolgleamA:

I'll bet the tank is dry.

So, after dumping some gas in the tank...

And priming the carburetor and restarting the damned thing 142 + times... :brickwall:


It didn't die.  :scratchchin:

It stayed running.  :coolgleamA:

And idled.  :2thumbs:

Hmmm...

I revved it up a couple of times and then I stuck it in drive...


It moved.   :boogie:

As long as it has the hidden headlights it could be any color imo.

My 1st Charger was a '72 and always wished it had hiddens.   

One of my favorite styling cues with a Charger is the enclosed front end.

Back to the story at hand. :scratchchin:

After getting the car to move under it's own power for the first time in fourteen years...

I took a few victory laps through the yard and around the house, honking the horn repeatedly as I went... :coolgleamA:

Much to the Bride's amusement.  :smilielol:

A few of my neighbors shook their heads to show their appreciation as well. :lol:

Then I backed the Charger into it's new home.

Ok, so let me pick your brain on the one that is climatized. I have a 30x40 metal shop that's insulated and I'd like to install some sort of climate control. What did you use.
Would you think a window unit would work. I'll probably just keep it around 85.
I have no experience with this stuff.

My workshop isn't that big, it's 24 x 36.

It is insulated and drywalled with an insulated steel overhead door..

A window a/c unit cools it just fine.

In the winter, it's heated with propane.

I also run a dehumidifier year round.
