It's been gone since May, & was supposed to be back in Aug, then Oct, then before New Years, but I think it was worth the wait. The color is 1988 Ford smoke metallic. It's an originally a 318 auto, now it's a 440 auto, with 8 3/4, R/T clone that will have EFI.
Thanks for looking,
Mike

Man, there sure are a lot of silver Chargers these days...looks pretty damn good! :thumbs:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

I think I remember pics of this car in the body shop;... is that correct?  did you post some on the old site?

Thanks for all the comments. You guys will be the first or second (wife needs to see it) people to see it while it's on it's way to being finished. So keep an eye out for it in a couple years, but there's always the lottery.
Doc74 the tires are L60-14 rear & E70-14 in the front (bias ply recaps that were on it when i bought it). Don't know the back spacing or width. They used to rub before I changed the springs.
Just6T9 It's registered.
Pocket Thunder I did post a couple of pics in the Post your pics thread on page 13 I think. None on the old site.
AllblueR/T & greenpigs I like the slots too but, I'm going to be getting some Torque thrusts with the dark grey centers. 15's same width in the back & wider in the front.

Thenks again for looking
Mike

I'm going to put on the Holley throttle body injection. Which from what I've heard takes some time to get setup right.
Before that though I'm redoing the wiring harness with the It's a Snap wiring harness that someone on the old board used.
Thanks for all the comments.

looks awsome!! I think the slots and big tires look great. They way a musclecar should look! I'd be interested in them if you sell.
