Here is my hemi orange 72 Rallye with chin and go wing.

My 72 Charger was also born in the Lynch Road plant.

I soak parts in my parts washer with dilrted simple green, occasionally scrubbing them with a wire brush. After a couple days I take them out and more wire brushing with fresh water. Then prime and paint. I learned early that simple green can stain/discolor aluminum so I use mild dish soap...

I took my Charger out on Friday for a spin. As I was driving along a white pickup pulled alongside with the driver leaning out the window taking pictures with his phone. He was not paying any attention to traffic around him. After a few minutes of this he slowed down and turned off of the...

I use flat spot prevention devices like these. Drive on, Drive off and not flat spots in my polyglass tires. Only $35 for a pair...

It only took one look at my 72 Charger in Hemi Orange and it was love. I bought it then and there and have never regretted the decision.

This is one of my favorite passtimes. I was in a yard lasr mon th that had all of the eye candy lined up in the front of the yard. Several complete 1950s hemis right down to accessories and air cleaners. The real highlight for me was a complete Packard straight 8. They said it ran and asked...

My experience with grand kids is we should have had them first! A lot more fun than raising my 3 kids. Rolland

Some miss guided soul lit one of my projects on fire in front of my house back in 2011. I was stunned that some people respect property that little. The worst was the fire marshal telling me the next day that I had 72 hours to remove the remains or the city would do it and charge me. They...

Took my new Charger for a ride yesterday. Not too far, just out for coffee and a short drive. Lots of attention from onlookers and a couple of thumbs up from drivers. All in all a great time

I have never owned a 6 Pack Mopar. I had a 3x2 barrel 427 Corvette back in the seventies and the sound of those carbs at full throttle was just amazing. Things on the first priority list: 1) fix the rear end. 8 3/4 is quite noisy and I want to replace the 4.11 gears with something more...

I forgot to mention my mod intent. I want to recreate what a 72 440 6 Pack would have looked like. Yes I know a small number were produced, but I am going for what the car would be like after delivery. I have an 8 track tape player to install once I get the radio working along with a vintage...

I recently purchased and installed emblems which were not on the car. I also sourced a correct 4 port carbon canister for the ECS system and installed some hood pins. I like the look of the hood pins and they allowed me to safely remove the head knocker safety latch which had already drawn...

I am starting this thread to chronicle my efforts in returning a former race Charger to street use. The previous owner had the car for about 10 years and did a lot to bring the car back, including new interior covers and dash restore, new larger torsion bars and stiffer rear springs. There is...
