66 Dodge Charger in Arkansas

[KingCordoba]

Welcome in! As far as advice, i couldn't put it any better than onlyone, other than to add that a booster/master cylinder combo from an early 70s Demon/Duster/Dart/Valiant with front disc, or even early 80s Diplomat/New Yorker era cars would bolt up, and are often more available as used parts than other models. Great color, great car! Good luck making it to the finish...

Welcome to FBBO. Those early chargers are awesome cars. Good luck with the resto. Lots of good support on this site....

In my brake dissertation, I was saying "F" bodies. I meant "M" bodies for those parts.
I'm old and get things in my brain.
But I think F bodies would be the same. I've only used M bodies for brake donors.
If you get to wondering about the rubber front end parts, I'll volunteer this information.
I've got hundred of thousand of miles on polygraphite bushings with no problems.
Including the lower control arm ones. I know some people have questions about that.
If you have the anti-sway bar, I don't know what to tell you about that.
I used poly but had to cut the brackets apart to get the new poly ones into them.
I had to modify them by welding ears with machine screw holes to close them back around the poly. Poly is so hard it will not compress like rubber would.
For the other parts people usually go with MOOG. We are hearing Chinese problems. I order them from my local auto store so that I can eye ball them when they come in. If they aren't USA I try again.

I also don't think anyone has given you a hard time for having the Charger backed up to the back side of a Mustang coup yet.
You are a bad boy. That's way to cozy.

i drove a deuce-and-a-half in my 2 years in the Army. What you got there, is a 5-ton. Either way, i'd rather have the Charger....

Looks like a duece and a half to me. I drove both. 5 tons were automatics in my squadron (607th combat comm)

I'd rather have the charger too

LOL a 5-ton automatic is somewhat after my time... i drove a Kaiser 5-spd. manual recovery vehicle. Keep in mind, i was in Korea from 1990-1992... the duece-and-a-halfs were older than i was.

thanks for the advice. ill have to look in to the brakes aftermarkets are expensive.
as for the mustang. its sitting under the carport because there is a door removed. i dont like them but its a true 64 1/2 restored inside and rebuilt engine tranny so good market for it out there just got to finish it to sell it almost done just no motivation for it.
