Did you use drop spindles to lower the front?

No, adjusted torsion bar. Still fine tuning, once test driving for awhile, I may have to raise a little depending on travel up and down,

Great looking car. My first car was a 73 Charger. Love the whole combo. Very nice work.

Thanks for all the nice compliments, hope to post some more pics soon.

I've tried to post some new pics and am having trouble with picture size. Not sure how to downsize the pics yet. I've downloaded the new pics onto my computer and this website will not let me download them because of the size.

I've tried to post some new pics and am having trouble with picture size. Not sure how to downsize the pics yet. I've downloaded the new pics onto my computer and this website will not let me download them because of the size.

Open them in Microsoft Paint.

Step 1 take awesome pic of cool RR that looked like your Dad's car (or in your case 73 Charger)



Step 2

Open them in MS Paint or maybe just called 'Paint' on your computer then resize with the circled deal at bottom right



Alternate Step 2 select resize in a percentage #1 or number of pixels #2 (useful for avatars which must be really small)



Step 3 with percentage change the numbers from 100 to whatever in the circled area. Note: change the top one and the bottom will change automatically (leave it alone for proper proportion).



Step 4 much smaller now



what it looks like when posted .. same size as original but less file size



Step 5 save the smaller version to your computer which will then be this big, or smaller depending on the percentages you selected. (WARNING .. SAVE UNDER NEW NAME OR YOU WILL MAKE YOUR ORIGINAL SMALLER)




Notes: use the pixel deal if you want to make an avatar pic .. which require very small files sizes. I can't recall the dimensions allowed but I think they are bigger than I showed in the example. I'll look that up later and update.



--------------------------------

Update on avatar size.

Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 120 by 120 pixels or 19.5 KB (whichever is smaller).

Thanks, ever-so-much for your detailed description for re-sizing my photos. I'll work on that the next couples of days and update will hopefully come soon.

Welcome. Lookin forward to your updates.

Normally I dont care too much for an all black car. But yours looks sweeeet. Love the grill also.

 

[1973dodger]

Here's some new photos of the engine, my other 2 mopars, and pics of my Charger finally making it outside, last pic is of a Charger I like.

That a really nice looking 73

You did a great job on your car - it looks awesome. My cousin had a 73 Charger in gunmetal grey when we were in high school - a lot of fond memories in that car.

Still have a list of things to finish; satin black decal on the hood, front end aligned, rear spoiler, hook up heater hoses, hook up tach, red pen-striping around hood blackout and rims (see Avatar) I obviously stayed away from the fender flares and side panel recesses but have used a great deal of this rendering as inspiration.
