Well I have started cleaning my Charger up. I have taken so many pictures that it is easier to post a link you everyone to view. I have a lot to do just to get it driveable.

Glad to see somebody else working on a 74.  Good Luck and Have Fun!

[Old Tired Rebel]

Thanks I added more pictures. Just wondering being new here should I post them without the link?

[cdr]

you can do them as a restoration thread,in the order of progress,with explanations of work done

[Old Tired Rebel]

So I posted this in the wrong place?

[cdr]

no you did ok here is a link to mine as an example http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,90903.0.html

[Old Tired Rebel]

Ok Thanks.

[Old Tired Rebel]

In case I didn't mention it. My Charger was a gift from a friend that didn't want to crush it,He brought it all the way from Ill. to my house in Tulsa Ok.

[Old Tired Rebel]

Do my Dog claimed his spot before we could clean the trash out.

[Old Tired Rebel]

Here is a 360 and 727 he brought with the car. He plans to bring the rest of it on his next trip. He knocked out the freeze plugs ans honed the cylinder walls.
The trans has been rebuilt, so I only need to find a few things to get it all together and put back into the car.

So today my oldest son helped get the seats and carpet out along with using the shop vac to get the rest of the trash out.





only surprise here is that both  sides of the floor was ate up.

Take care of the rust on the firewall before you bother dropping the engine back in.  Without looking I bet there is a hole near the top left of the firewall.

[Old Tired Rebel]

That must be common, btw how did you know?

[stevethegray]

Because my 74 has a hole there too

[Old Tired Rebel]

Do you cut it all out and patched it?

[stevethegray]

I haven't yet, but that is the plan

[Old Tired Rebel]

Did a little more picture taking yesterday. The next step is to get it in the garage and up on stands to start taking things off underside of it.

rust

[Old Tired Rebel]

Yeah she is crusty. But she will get better.

[Old Tired Rebel]

Sorry I haven't updated. I have been down with my back.

[Ghoste]

It never goes as quickly as you want anyway.  How is your back now?

[Old Tired Rebel]

I just got pain killers today. I gave up on trying to get it to heal up on it's own. But right now I am not feeling any pain.

[twodko]

What Ghoste said, take care of your back first. Without that you won't be restoring much of anything except Advil bottles. I know because I'm there too.......Advil and ice packs. Sucks getting old.  

Your car will be a beau one day but you will have to become one of AMD's minions.
