So It Begins, my stepfathers 1966 Charger Restification. He decided to restify it sooner than later of his other projects because he was re-diagnosed with prostate cancer. I explained the history and information about the car in my photo garage but will recap for those who are just seeing this.
The Car- The car is a 1966 Dodge Charger with a 383 4 bbl Hi-Po engine (explains my code name here), with a red interior, power windows, floor shift with full length console, floor console clock, and air conditioning. The exterior color is WW1 White.
The History- The car was bought new out of Santa Monica, CA on Jan 7, 1966. It was sitting in the previous owners garage and had not run since 1987, I have newspaper pictures in trunk to prove it. My stepdad bought it on August 14, 2015.
The Plan- The plan is to keep the red interior, paint the car silver, put a modern A/C unit in, upgrade the front brakes to disc and keep the backs original but rebuilt drums, put on Magnum 500 wheels, and maybe a tti exhaust kit on it too. (Make a clone like my profile picture, from the 1966 Charger brochures with a bit of a twist) My "personal" plan is to hopefully document the progress, and make an album of the car being done and sharing it on here when I have time.
Hope you join me "along for the ride" along this journey.
