 Finally took the Charger out for a spin for the first time this year on Sunday. With the electical issues it had, short on money to fix anything, wifey works late during the week so I play Mr. Mom with the kids & everything else that goes on with daily life. I finally managed to get everything fixed last weekend, put the new battery in & go out for spin. Man, it was such a great feeling. Amazing how much I missed driving it until I did again. 
Can't wait to do it again before winter hits. May take it out tonight for awhile, supposed to be 76 today.

That's long enough for an itch you can't scratch.  Glad to see it's on the road where it belongs.   :2thumbs:

 Now the big goal is to work on the Challenger all winter & get it ready for the track for next year. The Body, paint, cage, cert, rear suspension are all done. Working on the interior now. The expensive part is next. The Drivetrain......

For some reason I always have several issues trying to post pictures on this site once already posted before. I have a picture post somewhere on here of my red 70 & also of my Challenger project. I try to dig them up & bring them back to the top for you.
