[terrible one]

[kingjoop]

[73TXRallye440]

Nice!!!!

[69bronzeT5]

A companion


Jackson, what kind of seats are those?

[Rolling_Thunder]

My bellhousing is on its way from Tennessee - and some wiring harnesses and computer are on their way as well

Also on its way is a set of Cragers for the Satellite...

The Road Runner is getting a core 383 with some goodies....


And my AR-15 got a twin sister...   she's pretty naked right now but I'll post pics when I get her done.

[suntech]

My Christmas present is on its way, but will not arrive before 8th of january, and then i am already in Korea for work, and gone for a month
But Santa is sending a container with: a 68 Charger, XV level II front/rear suspention and brakes, XV steering coloumn, Mark Williams modular rearend, torque boxes, XV Body stiffening kit, XV headers and exhaust system, Griffin aluminum radiator, pretty much all charger sheetmetal from AMD, plus a shitload of small parts

Should keep me buzy for a while when i get back home

[WingCharger]

SWEET!!

[Hemidoug]

A new coat of paint.....

[terrible one]

Hey guys,

The seats are a universal type from summit. The recline, slide forward and back, and fold forward for rear passengers. I'm much more impressed with them than I thought I would be looking at the pictures!

I've also got new door panels and carpet on the way!

Rolling Thunder, didn't your Satty have Keystones on it when you bought it? What's happening to them??

[Beer]

The factory two core radiator converted to a four core to fill that hole in the engine bay...Being offshore I pick it up when I get home (that means no pics til end Jan  ).

[quentin]

A new coat of paint.....

Nice!  What color is that?  The original color of my '73 se was a jade green metallic, that seemed to have light hues of faint yellow.  I'm wondering if that's about what it looked like.

[JT01]

new tan carpet

[Ghoste]

I topped up the fuel tank to make sure there wasn't evaporation allwoing condensation to form and I promised her that tomorrow I'd fire up the big block and let everything get all warm and slippery again.

[G-man]

Bilstein Shock absorbers, black and purple polyurethane bushings (i think thats 95% hard and 90% hard?), 1.12" torsion bars, 2 added leaf springs to the original ones (1 reverse to eliminate rear wheel axel hop) + reset, new coil, new spark plugs, braided holley fuel Hose with anodized sockets, the 750cfm double pumper HP street holley and wieand manifold was early X-mas present. Also a complete rebuilt heavy duty clutch with brass springs etc.

[Rolling_Thunder]

Rolling Thunder, didn't your Satty have Keystones on it when you bought it? What's happening to them??

Yep - they are still on there and the car is cacooned for the rain here in CA...    but the plan is to do a front brake swap to later model discs....    bought all the parts (calipers, brackets, rubber lines, spindles) with new rotors for $100 off a friend of mine...  with the 11.75" rotors I doubt the 14" Keystones will fit...    So a friend is giving me a set of used Cragar S/S wheels off his 65 Mustang...    15x7 all around with 235/60/15's...    they were free so he's currently looking for the last rim in his garage...     

I like the look of the keystones on the Satty but I need 15"s   

[Needa68]

Santa stoped by the body shop on Christmas Eve and sprayed the a little paint on our 68! Obviously no where near complete, but he had a few errands to run over the next couple of days. :-)

BTW - Your looking at Mercedez Benz Paint Code 040 (Schwartz) Black.

Ah right on, I guess I just assumed that they were 15"s. That's definitely justifiable! Too bad though, they looked killer on there!

[chargerkid01]

My 69 got an entire front clip, upper balljoint socket, and some car dollies to roll her around the garage easier.

[68coronetGLwannabe]

I have those seats in my 70. Very comfortable. I got some new floor mats and a pistol grip shifter!

Right on man! I've been sitting in one playing Playstation for a while now and would have to agree! They seem to be a semi-popular choice then I suppose. I think I first discovered them in one of NorwayCharger's threads (I'm pretty sure he used them in his car.) Either way, I couldn't be happier for the price! Especially when you compare it to a set of redone ones . . . or hell, even some cores haha.

[General_01]

My Charger got NOTHING for Christmas. My wife said all the money I spent on the stroker engine was enough.

My in-laws gave me a $50 debit card to use on car parts, so they know it's never enough.

Yes - I liked the Keystones as well...    these are used cragars so...      probably when the car gets painted she'll get a new set of Keystones - that's a ways off however

[ChargerSG]

My 69 SE got some more metal on her body

[six-tee-nine]

This is what I bought for my 69. I was not intended to buy me a original one but I could'nt pass on this one.

I really like those seats.  I may order a set.  My 69 R/T has a tan interior, though the black looks so cool, I probably wouldn't even recover them.  You may have started something here: Spring '09, we may all have these cool seats in our cars. 
I checked out the site and it mentions that no seat mounting brackets are included.  What's your plan here?  Do you think you can you use original seat rail/bracket hardware, or will you fab some?

That's the exact link I was going to post; that's my plan as well. 

[68coronetGLwannabe]

If any of you live where there is a Checker Auto parts store they carry those seats. I caught mine on sale for $250 for the pair. I think regular price was around $179 each.

Damn! Yeah, I paid $190 each for these. At least there isn't a Checker anywhere close so that I don't have to kick myself!

Hemidog, so the seats work fine with the console?

[BB1]

New Hemi Dodge Truck, to tow my bad Charger. 

[timinator]

Set of aluminium heads for the 69 and a Centerforce clutch for the 68. A girlfriend of mine made me a "Charger Tree" and stuck a set of line wrenches underneath!

Stay tuned for the build...

If you do a store locator search, they bring up Advanced Auto Parts stores too, so you may be able to get them at Advanced if one is close by.

Oh, and mine didn't get anything on Christmas Day, but I have a grille on the way that may get here next week!
