66 Charger build

[piwo440]

I haven't posted on here in awhile but I've been around. In between work and some major home renovations I have made some progress on my 66 so I thought I would share...

Car was purchased from Kentucky and hauled back here to Wisconsin a few years ago. First year it pretty much sat in my garage untouched. Second year I started gathering parts which was not an easy (or cheap) task. Then the car was totally disassembled, and started with repairing the floor pans and welding in the sub frame connectors. Now I am at the point where the body has been stripped and the bodywork on the shell has been finished. I'm about to start the bodywork on the bolt on panels next.

I will keep posting as I go along. I am going to do everything myself with the exception of the machine work on the block and the transmission.

Any comments, advice, or criticism is welcomed!

Us Cartool connectors,  I know there has been a lot of debate over which connectors are better....

Made some more progress.   The 469 has been picked up from Kilpatrick racing.  High volume oil pump, Hemi 1/2 inch pick up, Eagle crank and rods, Comp cams solid lifters and 540 lift cam, etc...

Found a set of 906 heads that are about to be dropped off for the head work.

Trans is almost done, nice rebuild, reverse manual valve body.....

Glad to see you're working on that Baby Ron, looks good.   
Will we see you come Carlisle this year? 

[bobs66440]

Did you undercoat it or is that factory?

[FlatbackFanatic]

Its looking great, Ron!!!

[Ghoste]

That engine all shiny and clean like that is a real thing of beauty.

I suppose BIG FAT MEATS on the back would be on the list   

[piwo440]

Had factory undercoating, just re did it after the sub frame connectors were welded in.

Big fat meats on the back are a must!

Carlisle is probably not going to happen, (sigh) spending a few bucks on the car now and have a few local and out of state shows that I'm going to this year.

Thanks for all the compliments!!
