Almost done with re-assembly on my 69

[garner7555]

Can't wait to drive it and test all the "modifications" that I have done.       This has been 20 years in the making (off and on).

The 14" Brembo brakes fill up the 18" Torque Thrust wheels completely.

A little about the build:

69 Charger that was a 318 auto car. Originally green on green.  

The car still has all the original sheet metal except for the front valance.  (it was repairable but the new ones are so cheap it made more sense to replace).  Had to do rust repair on the roof, around the back glass, the tail light panel, and a little in the lower quarters.
The car is now Viper red. ( code PRN )   It came factory on the Dodge viper for many years.


Now it has a 440 with Aluminum heads and FiTech EFI with full timing control through a Firecore distributor.    (Just a mild street build- my guess=475-500 HP at the flywheel)
727 auto with improved clutches and bands, Trans-go stage 2 shift kit and PTC stall converter.
3.23 rear gears and a locker in the 8.75 rear.
Hotchkis rear 2" lowering leaf springs.    Added a rear sway bar as well.
QA1 Kframe, lower control arms, strut bars, and sway bar.  Magnum Force upper control arms (already had these, may swap to QA1 in the future).  Borgeson steering box.  C body tie rods with PST adjusters.
14" Brembo front brakes.  4 piston calipers with drilled rotors.
factory 2007 Mustang rear disc brakes.   1 piston caliper with drilled rotors.
Welded in frame conectors and torque boxes.
18 x 8 front and 18 x 10 rear American Racing Torque Thrust wheels.   Michelin Pilot Sport tires.

[garner7555]

Thanks for the kind words everyone.        I know my modern additions aren't for everyone, but everyone on this site is usually friendly and respectful even if they don't like something about a car.  You don't find that on most sites.

I will probably drive it sooner, but it is scheduled to be at the World of Wheels in Birmingham from Feb. 7th through the 10th.   They are having a special Mopar only room with a little over 50 Mopars if I remember correctly.   I think the 71 K & K insurance Bobby Issac Daytona  and the 22 Bobby Allision Daytona (recreation) will be there along with other wing cars and most any Mopar that you can think of really.   Should be a great event if anyone wants to drop by.
