Back on the Road Again

Finally had the chance to drive my Charger again. After my last resto / mod 20 years ago it needed to be redone. I really enjoy driving it everywhere and this weekend was a blast. I am still smiling today after taking it to a couple of cruise spots over the weekend. This car is so much fun to drive, I never seem to get enough of it. This year it has a new Keisler 4 speed auto that I am still figuring out. The engine is a 500ci Mopar crate motor and the .509 cam with the OD it puts the RPM's too low for a 3.23 gear. Guess I will be looking for a lower gear now.  :D

Hard to believe this was 9 months ago



Took these last weekend. Did all the work myself except for paint & body work - that is truly an art form.

Thanks for all the kind words. I enjoy this site So Much for all the good people here and all of the information that is available.
This year I added the front spoiler because of what I read and saw here, and I really like the way it looks on the car.

You should be commended for staying with the original color.  Awesome choice as I've never seen one with those color combos.  8WHEELER's wife's car is close though.

That .509 cam likes the RPM's for it to work.  I ran one for a while behind an auto with 3:91 gears. 

You do very nice work sir.   :2thumbs:

I did go a little off stock on the colors with the tail stripe. It should be a white stripe instead of black, but I just like the black better.  I have changed a lot of things on the car to more modern tech but tried to keep the enhance of the stock Charger there. To a Chevy guy it looks like a stock resto - lol
