More blurry pictures of my dumb car

[SFRT]

had a nice drive to work today

[SFRT]

I have to admit it looks better shiny

[SFRT]

yep..got to say I prefer Iommi...

[SFRT]

into the batcave

[SFRT]

that blue thing is the next project. I imagine I will begin it as soon as I put some kitchen remodel time in at home.

[CB]

It just looks perfect this way!

[tan top]

 awesome pictures     

[SFRT]

It just looks perfect this way!

not until I get to put my black plates on it...hopefully next week.

[Brock Samson]

 I think you should go back to primer... 

[SFRT]

Panther Pink with a mod top

[Brock Samson]

yeah, a green one...

[SFRT]

plus a luggage rack, 3 whip antennas and 5" x 14" wheels.

[Silver R/T]

Looking good, are you gonna lower front end a bit?

[HITMAN 149]

yea and auto on the console.... lmlao
nice pics bro!! you bastard!!! lol

[SFRT]

Looking good, are you gonna lower front end a bit?

maybe. I like it up high. our streets here are in real bad shape.

[b5blue]

I like it just the way it is! Good Job! (You nailed the tire/rim combo/size!)   

[skip68]

    Nice !    What size are the rear tires ?   295-50-15 ? ? ?   

[bzabodyn]

Yeah, I'm curious about wheel/tire sizes as well for my "driving" shoes... they look great and you definitely have one of the "meaner" looking Chargers out there!!!

plus a luggage rack, 3 whip antennas and 5" x 14" wheels.

Two luggage racks, one on the decklid and one on the roof.

[SFRT]

  Nice !    What size are the rear tires ?   295-50-15 ? ? ?    

yes on 10" rims the fronts are  235/65/15 on a 7" rim ...steel wheels from wheel vintiques. 4.5 offset. I have SSB disc brakes all the way around. the fronts fit no problem the rears I had to shave some meat off  the calipers. plenty of rear tire clearance inboard and outboard.

I like the nose high stance feels more 60's to me. I wanted a 60's 'street strip' vibe with this car,as oppossed to a 70's 'air shock' ass up or 80's 'prostreet' look. apart from the Caltracs nothing on this car is cosmetically 'post 69' until you open the hood or look up underneath...imterior is all barebones stock etc.

[WHITE AND RED 69]

Damn that paint looks good! 

[SFRT]

not even a skim coat. paint job ended up being really inexpensive...all in all the whole redo, including all the sheetmetal and new windows was under 11 grand. we took the car down to bare metal, rolfe did some genius metal work, we used lead etc...stinkblocked the primer real good....I was lucky that Rolfe knows his shit.

[BBKNARF]

It looks great for under 11 grand 

[Skinypete]

It looks AWESOME period.    Nevermind that it was only 11k

[b5blue]

So when you set front ride height did you go buy the FSM? (Bottom of ball joint to ground, add 1 5/8" and adjust lower control arm pivot to that number?) (I think it was add 1 5/8") Or just "wing" it? 

[FlatbackFanatic]

Looks just Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats all I can say,,, Awesome!!

I took it to a alignment place and told em to crank it up. torsion bars....its probably going to come back down a little. tires are wearing properly, thing tracks true with hands off the wheel..so I figure its ok. rides real nice..'magic carpet'

I will probably have my moper genius chassis expert friend 'tune' the front suspension  soon.

[b5blue]

I love the ride and feel of a b body, let me know if ya learn any tricks OK! 

[herhemi]

Those are some terrific blurry pictures of a terrific dumb car!  Wow, that is sharp!!!!! that's all I can say!!!

[twodko]

It looks nice shiny! The hood pins are perfect and the steelies with dog dishes really set the car apart. The batt cutoff switch would be happy living in one of the wheel wells IMO. Black 2nd gens are the bomb!
Did you shoot the pix on 3rd Street?

Tom

[kurgan383]

Looks sweet man, nice ride!

my shop is at 11th and howard.

[twodko]

I know the area well. Hopefully I'll have our car back together buy June and we can meet up with youse folks on TI for a run.

Tom

[SFRT]

cool The chiselers are doing a couple of runs/get togethers in June and July....drop by the shop any time

1490 Howard..ask for Frank.

[Belgium R/T -68]

Really great looking car you have. Why do you call it dumb?

Per

[MOXY100]

I was wondering, is the RT emblem on the white stripe paint?

[SFRT]

no its the 3d one. my car soooooooooo incorrect.

[moparmoynihan]

Its correct to you my man!! Thats all that matters. That car is really a work of art. Very tastfully done. I think I'm going with dog dishes now.  Johnny 

[twodko]

Morning Frank,

The back tires on 10's are the way I'm leaning towards, the ass end of a 2nd gen Charger is supposed to look exactly like your car IMO. If you have folks in the back seat, do the tires rub? I'm undecided on 7 or 8" wheels for the front. I know its personal preference but its seems more members are running 7's in the front. Any reasoning to this?

Tom

[SFRT]

no real idea. 7's just seem the way to go. no rubbing issues etc. as far as the backseat, never had anyone back there so no idea.

[Charger´69]

Wow, I love that Charger 

[200MPH]

awesome ride man !

The 15x10's have a 5.5" backspace correct?   Im considering of a wheel change myself in the same sizes....

[SFRT]

no..the 'standard' parts they use to make the whhels are limited. I think the rear offset is 4.75? I cant remember but it sucked making the rear disc calipers fit. if you have normal rear brakes youll be fine.

yeah sort of thinking the same also !  15 x10 with a 5 & a half back space 
but i like the idea of having all five wheels / tires  same size  so the jury is still out 

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

no..the 'standard' parts they use to make the whhels are limited. I think the rear offset is 4.75? I cant remember but it sucked making the rear disc calipers fit. if you have normal rear brakes youll be fine.

The reason I ask is because a "stock" size of Wheel Vintiques from Summit Racing is 15x10 with 5.5" BS    Unless you had yours custom made???
The 15x7's have 4.5" BS

[SFRT]

then it must be so. seems like that backspacing is fine.

[SFRT]

I honestly could use a wider tire, but the 10"  wheel seems to be the max  I can run and I do not want to move or cut anything back there.

[jb666]

Wow!!  "blurry pictures of my dumb car"  I can almost feel the enthusiasm!! That's an awesome ride, man!!! 

[mikesbbody]

  one of the nicest Charger's here on DC

[1969chargerrtse]

That is one mean looking beautiful car.
