Same here. Get it back together and get it running. I have a new cam to test out along with 4 wheel discs with a hydrobooster (should be fun), and a myriad of electronic goodies to play with. Once everything is to my liking and I have had enough seat time, I'll take it back apart and install the 6 speed. This stuff will never end I tell ya.   :lol:
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

I have an ever increasing stack of parts...would like to finally get some of them installed.  If things line up maybe build the stroker to boot.

Hey, Chris...good topic... :2thumbs:
I want to add a Classic Auto Air setup. The heater and A/C have been dead the whole time I've owned the car and it is long overdue.
Power windows....A guy  know that drives his 69 Coronet R/T almost everywhere has power windows and A/C. It makes an old comfortable.

1. Drive my 69 Charger survivor more often in 2018

2. Install an a518 and pair it to a 6.1L hemi for my beater 68 Charger project which i bought in 2017. i doubt very much it will run in 2018 though.

Get it all together.....check everything works.......then get it apart for paint buy the end of the year. Does not sound huge....but I seriously doubt it will happen without a lottery win and working about half the hours I do now! Would also like to see if I can somehow fit AC....NOTHING is standard on my car so will take some thinking about. Its not that hot here....might see 80f a few times a year....but its been a long time since I've owned a car without AC so might see if I can cobble something together from components of other old cars.....like the rest of my 69 really!!!
If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you !!

Finish the assembly process and start driving it.   Broke in the cam last week, so now it's just a matter of having enough time to finish it.

My goal is to get my '68 Charger nut and bolt restoration on the road by mid-year. Started the project in Feb. 2015, planning on a two year completion. Well, I overshot that. The body work is done and I plan on shooting the paint sometime in Jan./early Feb.
Engine, transmission, diff. and all components are rebuilt and ready to install. I've put in a lot of long, hard hours getting it to this point. Can hardly wait to get it on the road after 37 years!
(Sold the car in 1981, it sat in a garage for over 30 years. Tried to buy it back many times and the owner finally sold it back to me in Sept. 2014.)

A few frame rail reinforcements, intake swap, some tuning, and hopefully pick up 5 mph in the 1/4 and crack 130.

Install the Sniper EFI and tank I got for Christmas, in the spring when there is actually room to work on the lift in the garage. Finally get around to installing the disk brake kit I bought, Idunno, 7 years ago? Brakes are generally the first or only upgrade I do to any vehicles I own, but the crappy brake feeling somehow suits this old car enough that it's not really a priority, yet.......

I think I'm unlike most, in that I'm in no particular hurry to finish all the things I want to do to this car. It's mostly the reason I own it. Once it's all done, then what? I've got other cars to drive.

I really want to pick up a set of invincible extremes caliper mounts and install the late model 14 inch Mustang GT front rotors, and rear disc brakes with power assist. And a borgenson steering box as well.

Those are high priority. Secondary will be shedding weight where I can. Glass hood, QA1 subframe, etc.

Third will be more road trips. I hope to have more adventures and memories in my Charger this year. Maybe hot rod power tour, or a roadkill event.

Planning on doing some 69 seat covers this year, currently I have 68 seat covers and since the car is pretty much all converted I would like to do the seats too. The dash is still 68 but the pad is good and the vertical lines on the panels don't bother me so just some seat covers will do I guess. Was wanting to do a passon 5 speed but there seems to be a several year wait for that so that's out of the question I suppose. May send my steering wheel off and get it repaired since it has a few cracks in it. Also need to fix my fuel sending unit, it doesn't read right and bug's me but it doesn't keep me from riding so it's not high up on the list. Be glad when the weather gets better so I can get my weekend ride in on saturday's and sunday's.....

I really need new leaf springs, I'm going to have to do some research. I am also hoping to finally buy a set of Cragar SS rims.
