My 72 Ralley Restoration - Progress and Pics

[Chris]

Thanks again for posting my pics Frank, the girl in the drivers seat is my daughter.

Awesome Charger !

Nothing nicer than a 72 Rallye Charger...nothing.

[Finn]

it took me about 2-3 weeks at 4 hours each day.
can't remember for sure.
the bondo must have gone all the way to my brain. 

Same here...then I had it blasted and more rust showed up

Charger looks spectacular Chris!

Bitchin' car!

  I have a front chin spoiler I bought for my 72 Rallye.  I am still thinking about putting it on.  The bad thing is about those, are the 8-10 holes you have to drill into your car to bolt it on.

[HKCharger]

This is the car that sold me on the spoilers and the wheel tire combo, I saw this and pretty much new that this was the look I was looking for!

what suspension setup gives it that stance?

[Chris]

Rear Suspension is a primarily the stock set up, front is adjustment of the tourqe rods.

[HKCharger]

so no aftermarket suspension?

Is there an airbag setup for 3rd gens that will give it that stance?

Is there any aftermarket suspension parts that would give it that stance?

Just looking at all the options, your car looks great.

[Chris]

Nothing aftermarket was used, stock suspension adjustments only.

Chris,  I Love your car. You did a super job on it. I was just curious what the front tire and wheel size you used was. I see what the backs were. I like the stance, and the tires and wheels you used. I'm not going that far on mine, but I hope it looks decent still.

fabbed aluminum covers can be found on E-bay

Is your Rallye a 4 speed or automatic?    I sure hope my 340 car turns out half that nice!   GREAT JOB

Thanks for the information. Where do you suggest I find me a set of 4 rallye wheels for my 73?

[dfsmopars]

An absolutely gorgeous car. I'd love to do one like that but mine get the wire brush and mineral spirits.

Question I can't tell from the photo's did you find a set of correct door decals or did you use the cheap wrong repo ones?

[Chris]

Paul Jacobs purchased and installed the decals. What is the difference between the 2 types of decals?

[TUFCAT]

The "wrong" decals are die-cut vinyl. The correct decals are clear with the black strobe pattern printed on them. 

[KMPX2]

Funny thing was when you could still get them at a dealer they did not sell sets. You could buy just 1 or as many as you wanted. They were around $4 each.

[Chris]

Then they are the wrong decals, they are indeed vinyl,(See Attachment) I did notice that they did not look like the original decals when I was home but I did not have much time with the car when I was there. I would definately like to go with the original decals once again. Does anyone know if they are still available and if so how much is a set going for?
