hey christian,
the charger is a great model,thats right....
but i have to say the dart is great to,drives great,and fast.
and the hood has to go for sure,like original beter.
butt there's a big hole :icon_smile_evil: in the hood for the filter,so i need another airfilter to because its to high to close the hood in original shape....and have to fix the hole in the hood

i like it cept fot the wheels... and steering wheel. those buckets look like they came outta something else... c body maybe?..  :shruggy:
and a good scoop would be a Chally T/A style..

nice ride... that's what Mr. Lightning should get... (IMO)...  :icon_smile_wink:

Nice Swinger.  :2thumbs:

I've never been fond of big scoops or big wheels. But it's up to you. Hands down the LA318 is my favorite motor of the Mopar world. gobs of torque at a low RPM, indestrictable as can be for a motor. If my heart wasn't set on a Cummins Turbo Diesel for my truck, a 318 would be finding it's home in the engine bay.
For every good man that is born, another good man must die.  Yet somehow the
factory keeps pumping out losers and we have no idea how to get rid of them.

Welcome back Alfred.. Nice ride you bought yourself... I also think you should loose that scoop.. Other than that the Dart looks wicked...

Take care...
