Looks like I found another home. :icon_smile_big:

Been a MoPar guy since high school.  Got dad's '66 Chrysler 300 (big-ass 4-door), added an identical 2-door, then got my first '68 Charger (B-5 blue, white cap special) for $200.00, just needed brakes.  I've since had half a dozen 68-70 Chargers, but nothing nice until recently.

Just picked up a 1968 R/T, all original (except for the paint), and loaded with everything but a 4-speed and Hemi.  It's in nice shape, but needs plenty of little stuff to complete it.

I've been collecting parts for the 68's for a few years.  I'll have to post up a list of extras sometime. :icon_smile_wink:

I've also been modifying my 2004 Ram SRT-10, practically since I bought it new.  It's on its second engine (after an STS turbo kit destroyed the pistons), and its second supercharger (the Paxton system can't feed it nearly enough air).  Only the block remains stock.  This truck is heavily modified, and it is prepped for the drags this spring.

Anyway, just wanted to say hello. :2thumbs:

Here's a few of the R/T, and one of the SRT's engine bay w/ the Paxton.







1968 Charger R/T, everything but a 4-speed and Hemi.<br />2004 Ram SRT-10, Procharger F2, can you say 900+hp on pump gas?

Thanks for the props and the welcome, all! :cheers:

I'll post up more pix, and some little project stuff as it's done.  There's ton's a little stuff that needs attention to make it REALLY nice. :yesnod:

I've been to this site off and on for what I remember as a few years or more (...if I remember correctly! :rofl:).   Just been pretty much consumed by the Viper truck, and all that.

On the viper truck forum, some call me Hellboy. :icon_smile_big:

Welcome new guy.  Beautiful ride you got there.  I'm impressed, noob figured out how to post pix right off the bat too.  :2thumbs:
I might see ya' this summer if you bring it over on the east side of I-5.  I'm down here on the border, Vancouver but come up there 2-3 times in the spring/summer.  There's lots of members' up there around the Emerald City.

We almost bought one of those Viper pick ups.
