I left the chrome off my 71 charger for years after I painted it. Couple summers ago I put it back on thinking I was gonna sell it. Looks waaaaayyyy better with it on IMO. Gives some contrast to the body lines.

I paid for the whole tire and I'm gonna use it! Lol!

They're certainly rounded and the contact patch is less at the higher pressure. Everything is a compromise. I'm fighting sidewall deflection. The higher air combats that.... at the expense of contact patch. However, the tire deflection actually gets you some of that back. Here's what 35psi...

I actually dont adjust mine much. I run 45 front for autocross and 40 rear. For winter I'll take them down to 35 for just sitting. They're rated for 50 or 55 so I don't have any issue running them high.

Would you be able to weigh what all the new components weigh vs stock ones? Curious what the weight savings is?

I hate to make the comparison but its kinda like a Harley. Makes a lot of noise to look cool but doesn't really match its power. Ha!

I've resisted doing the torsion bars but yeah I think I'm there if I want to go faster. Like you say, easy change and every component I've installed is bolt on. So if I decide I want to put it back to stock thats pretty easy. The ole drum brakes are alright and I dont think different shoes...

I don't have good video from outside the car but here's a couple shorts about it.

It's been going well. I actually raced again yesterday and last one is in October. No issues with the 727 at all but I do try to manage my heat between runs by shutting down and opening my hood in the staging lane. Then I just push it until I'm a few cars back. I'm due to tear it down. It has a...

Do you have a pic of what you're patterning or just like an idea in your head of what you're doing?

Has anyone done custom rear seat area in a 2nd gen charger? I think I'd like to put bucket seats back there. The front will be more racing style bucket. Would need carpet and a good trunk divider. Any pics? Is a custom trim shop the only option for such a thing? Overall theme of the car is...

If my kids or possible future grandkids or nephews dont want my stuff they can auction it. I've always thought it might be neat to make a kids dream come true and gift them something they were truly interested and passionate about too.

I wound up purchasing a new plunger and that helped it a ton. The old leather one must not have been moving smoothly in the bore.

I'm not sure what you're asking for in "pleasure to drive." Do you want a modern car feel? Do you want it tightened up but still soft? Is it a cruiser or do you want to compete in an autocross? How hard do you want to drive it? It's incredible what a change in feel happens with just replacing...

Has anyone bought the mopar performance leaf springs lately? Have they fixed the sagging issue? ESPO is 3-4 months out for lead time it appears.

Agree with Kerndog and even at that I target high 12 low 13's for a ratio. Every adjustment you make will affect everything else. An engine will survive running rich every time. It'll survive lean a few times.

I would put cutouts in for the exhaust to poke through. Could do a little diffuser style too but not obnoxiously finned.

I better look closer there too. I see what you're looking at.
