What have you done with your Charger lately?

[JamieZ]

I cleaned the Challenger up for Mopars at the Junction, and since it shares the garage with the Charger I haven't done much to the Charger since most of what it needs now is messy.

On Memorial Day by dad brought over the torch and we got the other end of the Torsion bar out.  The cross member was full of packed in mud and road grime due to a failed seal/boot.  The passenger side doesn't even have a boot so unless the bar falls out on the first few whacks, the passenger side will see the torch too.


I did fit the new seals on the new bars.  I blasted them with a heat gun for a few minutes to soften them up before muscling them on.  It was a lot harder than I expected.


Finally since I had the sway bar and radiator to K frame piece out, I gave them a good cleaning, hit them with the scotch brite and then dropped a new coat of chassis black on them:


Hopefully next week I can get back to the dirty work and maybe even start reassembling the passenger side.

My megacab went to the shop for some work so I drove the charger everyday as my daily for two weeks. I told my friend who's my mechanic to take his time.  Put on a solid 2000 km. Went and picked up my sister at the airport in style. It was great days off, enjoyed going out in the morning and firing it up and hearing that 440 rumble to life. Unfortulately they decided to fix the 6 km road into where I live at the lake and My rims fill up with rocks. So I guess maybe it'll live in the garage a lot until the road gets fixed. Next Year!!

Your in alberta right?  I used to live in calgary

[69white hat]

Yep. Near Cold Lake. North of LLoydminster an hour. I drove the car to edmonton and back 3 times in the last 2 weeks. Amazing how many horn honks and thumbs up a guy can get when driving....

[D69charger]

yea I know what you mean.  It was the same way when I drove my charger down to texas when I moved from Calgary.  sometimes took a while just to get out of the gas station with people asking about the car or wanting to take pics

Last night we went on a dinner cruise with the club. It was an hour drive up the hill for dinner and a visit with an older club member who is an amateur astronomer, or so he says. He has two observatory's and a very nice collection of Mopar's.

yup..you got that right....might be easier to cut off the outer quarter panel skin, replace everything inside, then weld the panel back on

Drove it out to a cruise this evening to get my daily dose of stares and "OMG it's a Charger!" reactions...

You guys are killing me...sitting here in China with my thumb up my butt...mine is sitting at home, just waiting...I miss my hobby, hope I don't have to sell it....had it for 32 years now.

After two years of searching I found a trunck floor pan for my 74 Charger. Now the work starts. Found it at Wildcat Wrecking in Oregan.

[dodgey68]

We'll removed the small bock and tran, and fitted bigblock and tran, making up brackets and altering things to look a little neater

Swapped in ET street radials 255 60R15 on 15x7 for the 275 60R15 BFG TAs on 15x8s and adjusted front ride height. 

Now I can use 1st gear  and the rear tires don't look quite so big.

Swung by the old Erco factory building only to find it had been taken down  since last fall.  They made gun turrets for airplanes there during WW II
