OK so my dad gave me his charger hes had since the 80's :icon_smile_big: I'm 19 so college and work take up a lot of my time and money but Im saving some money up to get the project Rollin. I'm going to do everything myself I know enough about cars and my dad is a mechanic so yeah I'm covered, but I'm thinking about 4-5 years ill have it almost perfect. anyway just wanted to say hi
and heres a pic old a new of my 73 charger.
It had a rallye hood you know power bulge one but my dad traded it to his brother who has a 72 charger many years ago. so I will buy one after I get 1500 bucks or so lol
   If you look in the door of that barn you can see the hood I have for it now leaning on the wall its yellow and black.

Ah yes also if the site needs anymore moderators or any help I know a bit about keeping a forum by being an administrator of my own forum Shootingsquirrels.com (A varmint hunting website)

Welcome Justin, nice Charger, and you are right on it taking 4~5 years to finish while you work and go to college.  I did that same thing when i went to college.

Thanks everyone, Yeah I really love this car, we also have a ford galaxie, but its in a few pices lol, but i love the charger and the galixie will probably just sit for a good ten years till my dad sells it restors it or hands it over to me  :icon_smile_big:

oh and dont think im a big red neck with junk all over my yard, we were redoing are barn and thats why these cars were outside and you would see mounds of scap and a few junkers too if i didnt crop the pic lol, but we finished the barn so everything looks nice now  :coolgleamA:

Is it kind of a seasonal thing? The squirrels are probably getting hard to find these days. :shruggy: I usually only go hunting once in ths spring and then it's back to the city.

Insanity?


Looks like a good start for a project.  My advice?  Take your time, don't rush it.  And save as much spare cash as you can.  Cars are expensive.
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.  Especially if they have access to the internet.

No, no, you can butt in any time when it comes to varmint hunting options. :yesnod: I usually go to Joseph (NE Oregon) in June and although they are out all summer they get harder to find later due to the grass getting taller, reduced population (thanks to guys like me) and I think they get a little smarter too.

So where do you live... and when would you like to go shooting? :2thumbs: Seriously.
