I would love a close up shot of the brackets and pulleys since you do not have A/C

Since I was planning to reinstall the A/C eventually I didn't do anything fancy. I just used the stock A/C bracket and one short belt (sorry I don't remember what size it was) on the front-most alternator pulley and the middle crank pulley. This configuration just cleared the bottom of the water pump housing.

I have a '74 Charger A57-Rallye,4-speed car,I like those!Admitted,when I bought it in 1983 it was because of the 4-speed.An earlier Charger was on the want list at the time. I have had several Cordobas,most 400's,one 360.I prefer the '75-'77 round headlamp cars,they look lighter than the quad lamp cars -if that's possible!Owning and driving the Cordoba I gained an appreciation for them.

1978 Monaco/Fury A38/E86. Magnums are nice, too. 1974-79 Bs will get proper respect one of these days. Better brakes and suspensions than earlier Bs, electronic ign. Rugged. Biggest pain was those which came with Lean Burn. EZ enuf fix.
Almost forget, R bodies should be counted, too.

Toolguy, is your upholstery original? If not, where did you find replacements? I suspect the seats are the same as the buckets used in earlier E and B bodies but haven't been able to confirm it. I am seriously digging the gold/white color combo. Beautiful car. Rumblefish, if you want to get rid of a/c stuff call Bouchillon Performance Engineering. They can hook you up with the brackets and pulleys you need. I also found (AFTER I bought all the stuff new) that you can piece it together for less dough from E-bay. If your patient and know exactly what you want. I can give you more details if you want but should probably start a new thread. Heres a bad pic but you can see some of the pulley/bracket replacements.Oh yeah, almost forgot; 75 Roadrunner!

73/74 Charger SE, dad bought one new when I was a kid, broke my heart when he traded it. I bought mine several years later, still have it!

Jonnyuma, the color scheme is original (30+ year old "Corintian leather" and week old road kill possum look, and smell, about the same) but the seats were recovered in vinyl by a local shop. I think he did an awesome job and would reccomend him to anyone. The 71-74 b-body and e-body guys use "our" buckets in their cars all the time so if their not the same their pretty darn close, the only diference is probably the bracketry.
The cars not perfect yet (are they ever) but thanks for the compliment!

Forgot to as mine in.
'79 Magnum, swapped the 318 for a 400. This is my second Magnum, my first is a twin to this one and was a 360.
Currently, the car has my Cuda's wheels on it and the air cleaner was swapped to a factoru '73 unit with the trap door in the air cleaners pan. Also swung in a Holley Street Dominator intake and topped it with a9800 TQ. (Electric choke TQ ) I added the machine turned dash parts and tach/full gauge dash. The car was purchased from the one and only owner of it. The car was purchased off the show room fllor with a dealer dress up of GT stripes.
If I can get rear 1/4 panels for this...maybe one day when the money and parts cometoghter at the same time.....cheaply if possible (LOL) I'll finish it off. I have everything else for it in waiting.
I woould like to stroke the 400 to a 500 and use dualquads. But who knows what will actually happen.

These cars I could see being the next classic mopars now that the older ones are so outrageous in price. Not everybody can afford a 69 or 68 or whatever R/T or Hemi or 6bbl. I know how you guys feel, I have a 67 charger and some people don't even now its a b-body or dodge ha-ha. There are some pretty nice looking cars on this thread, I really like the magnums and RR's.
