By the look of the background of the shop pictures, your engine guy wont be out of buisiness very soon, looks like a top notch shop an so clean

What's the green plastic bit for on the vacuum line?

Those are respectable numbers for a mild build 

The A/F is perfect throughout the power pull....nice job dialing in those carbs !

Today's progress.

Just got the dyno printout.

The stering column & engine compartment wiring went in today. What few wiring glitches I had were easily resolved.

I was more surprised to see the ''base'' steering wheels in there rather than the ''spider'' one (says the spider wanting guy who has the base one ) Kinda cool, staying with the ''Hemi with no frills gig'' .Not expecting to see headrests on the armchairs either

Radio delete is cool....but then again, there's no radio.    Are you planning to do some kind of "hidden audio" system?

Radios in old cars with big engines are overrated... 

In the 35 years of owning a classic Mopars, I think I've only had a working radio worth a darn in 3 cars; my 1st '70 v-code Charger R/T ( granted, I was 19ish and had to have tunes, a '69 Road Runner that was my daily ride and a '71 Charger R/T survivor in which everything worked... Heck, I can't remember that last time I EVER listened to a radio in one of my Chargers.. lol

I just roll the windows down and listen to the 440 and the sound of the road passing under me......... 

In regards to the steering wheel, my '68 Charger R/T hemi car had the same steering wheel...........

[hemi68charger]

Looking great......

Who needs a radio

Those who ride with me will be treated to me singing.

[Tilar]

That's a scary thought.   

[Wookie316]

This is probably over kill for your build?



Sounds as good as it looks!

[Mytur Binsdirti]

That's a scary thought.   

Hey!!!! 

[Mytur Binsdirti]

This was an easy weekend. Among a bunch of small stuff that doesn't show, I cleaned up the bucket seats & installed them. While they aren't perfect, they're pretty darned good for 45 years. In fact, other than remanufactured seat belts, carpet, headliner & armrest bases, the interior is all original.

Amazing condition for 45 years old! The seats cleaned up very well and I think the other original things are very nice.  Gonna be a beautiful Charger on the road. It looks like it will be pretty soon too.

Pretty cool to see a 68 optioned with headrests.

Took a few pics od a 68 at Carlisle one year that was only optioned with the drivers side headrest...odd to say the least
