What have you done with your Charger lately?

[71charger_fan]

Getting ever closer to paint.

[WHITE AND RED 69]

Been working on a new front spoiler that will run the full length of the valance. It's the same style as the 69 camaro spoiler but has about 4" added to each side. Just need to finish the body work and get it painted.

nice work.

[fy469rtse]

thought about doing one also in steel, aluminium
what put me off and its this thought train that i kept the plastic one,
out low on the bottom of nose, knock that to into the ground or anything, plastic one will suffer , metal one will dent and the resulting damage to that front valance as well that its attached to ,
want to enjoy my car not drive trying to be extra careful with front nose,
very nice car white and red 69, always watch with interest on what you do with this car, never thought white could look good on a charger, then i saw yours,
would hate to see you damage the front on this very nice charger

Nice job on the spoiler.   

Fy, you can modify the Camaro spoiler with whatever material you like and make a mold of it.  Now you can make one out of fiberglass which will be the sacrificial piece in case of an accident.  Personally I llike that the spoiler is narrower than the valance, but I'm curious to see the end result of this one.

Sat in the garage with a beer and just stared at it for about an hour while listening to some Hagar.   (is this thing really mine???)

Gotta soak it in...winters coming.

Thanks!  Yeah I'm a bit worried about what could happen if I hit something but I'm going to take a chance on it. Hopefully if something bad happens the bolts will just snap off or the structure will bend with the hit. Who knows, I might not like it and end up tossing it.    I got it in primer tonight so I will find out in a few days.

Thanks Dino. Depending on how the end product looks I might go that route just to save some extra weight. I should have tried it with aluminum first.    Or maybe find someone that could take the mold and make carbon fiber ones?

It's always really cool to see someone who's not afraid to fabricate something from scratch.

Living the Dream

[JamieZ]

Made some progress.  Put the dash back in:

I also got the adapter plate for the holley and found an Edlebrock air cleaner base/element that will fit the Holley and go under the stock air cleaner top.  I ordered a piece that will let me run a rubber line for fuel.  That should be enough to tune it until I can get a metal line plumbed.  I'll have to fab something to relocate the coil but that should not be difficult.

The only setback this week is I discovered the brake pedal switch no longer works correctly.  Apparently a swap from manual to power requires swapping the switch as well. I ordered an adjustable one which should show up next week.  Looks to be easy to swap....other than being difficult to reach.

I thought I was the only crazy one that did this. I usually have more than one beer.

[69wannabe]

Drove mine for about four hour's today. Had a great drive with my buddy driving his 69 charger also mostly on a two lane through the country. We grabbed some lunch at the Bub-a-que in Jasper and then hit several back roads on the way back home!! Great weather for driving for sure. Luckily we had no troubles and it wound up being a good day all the way around!!! Good to get the old car out and drive it on a good lil road trip around the country side!!!

Burning up fuel on the warm weekend.....

[fy469rtse]

Damn 
new i forgot something when i was out staring at my latest handy work  , got all my led's conversion working,
tail lights work exceptionally well   

[timmycharger]

Just made a list of what I need to finish the car including pricing... 

[Paul G]

Just this. having a little fun on a back road.

[timmycharger]

Was up waaay too late last night trying to get the door adjusted, probably should have waited for some help, Ive got it really close, going to have at it again this weekend with a helper, what a pain in the a$$. Threw the fender on as I just had to see it sort of together.. definitely going to wait for the helper with the hood 

[Charger-Bodie]

Got a brand new set of Keystone Klassic wheels for the R/T 4 speed car. Stuck two of them on to check it out. Hopefully it will et paint this winter.

[fy469rtse]

Tommy charger,
Fitting that door , is it an empty shell , if so hang it 5mm at least higher at the back
Once painted and you put glass and all the parts back in door , the weight will pull it down at least that

[fy469rtse]

  always liked the look of the keystones , looks nice

[XS29L9B2]

i drive my cars today it s so fun with a beautifull light

[JamieZ]

I fabricated a small bracket to better hold the gauge used on my alignment tool.  The original piece allowed for too much slop and when talking about alignment 1 or 2 degrees makes a big difference.  I also calibrated the gauge.  Now the readings are starting to make some sense.  I managed to get the passenger side within spec.  Now I just need to get the driver's side in spec and tweak them to be close.

The mail brought the brake switch I was waiting for....and the dreaded Right Stuff Recall letter.  I'm not sure what to do about the recall.  The letter isn't very detailed as to how to ship these parts back and how long it will take to get replacements.  I'll worry about it later. I did get the brake switch installed:

Yesterday I took out the leaf blower 


I had a little tidy the garage to install my freshly "restored" tool trolley.
