 IMO (maybe not so humble) you should get somebody to ride shotgun at the track and handel camara duties,.. i like the pics but because they're so large they wont flush left, they're all cut off on the right...  In some shots your charger looks alot like mine, cause of the color and left headlight cover droop...  :lol:
i'm really curious to know how long and how much $ it took to get your clone of my car.... to that condition...  :icon_smile_wink:

.... i will also be adding a paddle shifter from a company called twist machine http://www.twistmachine.com/. i can t wait for that upgrade....

Oooooooh. :drool5:

Pete, keep us updated on the progress of the paddle shifters.  I've had several discussions with some people about those type of modifications to a classic car.  I'm very interested to see how it goes. :2thumbs: :scratchchin: :popcrn:

Awesome car, btw. :cheers:

nope.... true xenons they are in fact. one of the best upgrades for your car ...period

autodynamics

since my transplant... i have spent allot of time on tuning the entire package. i have spent time on tuning my transmission shift points and firmness. I relocated my battery to the trunk, and cleaned up my under hood wiring. and fixing  some weird problems i had....but its a chase. but thankfully its been ok. The car is really coming together keep in mind that my transplant has to be one of the first with the auto/hemi combo. i took mike on a ride the other day and he had allot to say about it, but i rather have him explain.  The car is a pleasure to drive cruising at 70 windows open having a conversion. Then when you want the power...... its on tap and your gone.  i will try and post a video and let you guys get a taste of it. i think im gonna do the xv motorsports event and see how the car does. ...Pete

where did you source the housings for the (i'm assuming) 9004/H4/H3 style bulbs?  i drive my car a lot, and definitely want the extra light. 


what bulbs did you use?  i run sylvania silverstars in most of my fleet and love them.  they're a nice bright white.

autodynamics

its actually a h4 bulb with a xenon kit.... there not a conventional bulb
the housings are hella

autodynamics

so my next move on the charger was to install the shifter, by twist machine. it actually works really well. just finished it today. only took about an hour to install. here are some pics

A paddle shifter? Is your console shifter just along for the ride nowdays? :icon_smile_big:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

autodynamics

no the console still functions as stock. there is a mode switch that makes the paddle shifter turn on then its in full manual mode. shifting through the paddle shifter. real nice like a video game. and once again i didnt alter the stock mopar column at all. Everything on my car is reversible. (except maybe the shaved drip rails.) but it works real nice!!!! you have to really look to notice it but its there!!
