Should be in the March issue.  Here are a few pics of my car I took with my digital camera while at the photo shoot.
Not bad but definitely not professional.

Here is a link - http://www.mopar.org/Charger/

He is here in the Austin, Texas area.  He bought the charger from a local club member a few months back.

Car runs I beleive mid 12's quarter times.

I ran into him at one of the local high schools Sunday afternoon with the photographer.

I suggested he go to the Pfluger House for some better shots.  Don't know if he made it out there.

It is a very beautiful 68!!

Here is a shot of my 67 in front of the Pfluger House.

I bought the car about 6 months ago. It wasn't running and hadn't rolled in over a year.  I have gone through the entire drivetrain and motor, replaced the rear end third member, brakes, tranmission lines, touched up the paint and interior and a few other things.  It was a nice car to begin with but now she's even better. I can't take all the credit but i will take some.

And yes, I do live outside of Austin.  The Longhorns are going to beat A&M tomorrow!!

Beautiful car! Congrat's getting the publicity.

Hookem....that is a sharp car !  I'm assuming that this is the car you're asking the tech questions on ? Did you decide on a set of gears ?

That is a nice ride!

[hookem78613]

Ron,

Thanks for all the great help and info.  I ended up putting 4.10's in the time being but I am going to go with 3.91's in the next week or so.  I think I am going to like the 3.91's but if not I'll just swap em out for the 3.73's later on.  I snagged a set of 3.91's from a friend of mine so it's minimal investment right now..try before I buy.

The car ran 12.66 in the first 4 passes.  Not bad but I am sure I can do better given time to tune and tweak on it a bit more.

The 4.10's are fine....that's what i've got in my Dana. I will be running a taller tire though so that will knock some gear out of it. I bet the 60 ft times are horrible with all the torque that monster is making !  With a set of slicks and a little suspension tuning you'll see 11"s....no problemo 


Ron


Ps. If you get a chance post the timeslip...60ft,330,660 times and trap speed

Congrats on making the magazine, it looks great!

I have been thinking about using 295's on my car, looks good, do you know the back spacing?

And I would like to know the color code, its on the fender tag, love the color
