Here's a pic of mine. I'm a new guy here and am going to have a lot of questions down the road. Been lurking for a couple of months and it seems like there is a lot of knowledge here.

Sorry I hijacked your thread. I'm not to comp. literate. I was trying to post it in the show a pic of your charger thread and somehow screwed that up. I didn't do to much to the car. I've had it forever, since the early 80's. I had the quarters, trunk, and back window done and just took the tank to the rad. shop. After that I'm going to have it painted.

No problem Welcome. There is a lot of nice people on here and they will help you .  I had some trouble to if you read the post . I'm still not that good at that myself . I am glad I know more about the car than I do this posting business.

I have been in the parts gathering mode and have not done much to the car because I have had it put away and been held down with work at the office. So it has been on hold.  Thanks I need a kick in the a -- to get started again.

Unfortunately life gets in the way of our hobbies sometimes. My Charger sits in the garage completely dissembled and has been that way since 2008!

I hope to get back at it when the weather gets a little nicer. What is in your car for engine and tranny?

The car was originally a 318 with a 3 speed on the column. When I bought it it came with a 1969 HP 440 and a 23 spline 4 speed. It's an early production car I believe so it has a few oddities that other 68's don't have.

The Satellite is sweet. I have A 73 Satellite Sebring Plus that I bought in 1988 and a 73 D200 Adventurer Sport I bought to replace the 05 Hemi Ram I totaled in October with only 27,000 miles on it
