    Manual brakes vs hydroboost

    I'm in the middle of doing some much needed upgrades to the Charger focusing mostly on handling, one issue is the brakes. My motor produces 15 pounds of vacuum which is enough for my vacuum booster 99% of the time but in certain deceleration situations I have zero boost which will pucker your...

    Gifted Gold membership

    I've been on a long hiatus and just recently started posting again so it was a bit of a surprise, I don't feel like I've contributed much lately but thank you to whoever you are? Rest assured, in my absence I've continued to drive the Charger putting thousands of miles on it which I credit...

    Pricks!

    I'm starting to notice a trend, people are being absolute pricks for no reason! A few weeks ago I was doing an aftermarket stereo install in my boys 2014 Charger and called a local audio shop to purchase a stereo plug/pigtail. He asks for the make, model and year then tells me I need this...

    Doug's vs TTI headers

    My current Hooker Super Comps are looking pretty shabby and need replaced. Looking for input from those who have Doug's on their B bodies (mines a 69 Charger). The Hookers fit really well except for 2 things, they hang too low and it would be nice if the exit was actually aimed at the cross...

    The pop up adds!!!!

    I've been on a hiatus and just recently returned and have to admit, the pop ups adds are absolutely maddening! I don't mind having to look at adds but when they constantly pop up covering what you're reading or posting it almost makes you want to leave. Moving adds is easily one of the most...

    Most significant suspension upgrades, thoughts?

    With many, many miles on the Charger since it's completion I'm looking to address a few complaints I have. #1 is a common complaint, the steering. I briefly chatted with Kern Dog and think the Borgeson box is what I'm after to address that #2 body twist, with 12" wide Nitto's the body...

    FOR SALE Split bench seat

    I don't know for certain what this seat came out of but I removed it from a 1972 Satellite. It needs new covers but is in really good condition, the torn foam you see is only the foam stitched into the cover to create the pleats, in the other pictures you can see the seat foam which is in great...

    Don't buy Ron Francis switches!

    The Charger hasn't been seeing much road time do to a few issues it's developed, me just not having the spare time and me being sick of fixing **** non stop. I had vapor lock issues that made me reluctant to drive it but thanks to my wife's generous gift (fuel system upgrade) that has been...

    Another hobby... Guitars!

    I've had a love for electric guitars since the 80's and always wanted to give it a shot, I finally did. Started off cheap figuring I wouldn't stick with it and bought a new Jackson js22 and a Marketplace Peavey Vypr3 amp. I've since upgraded to an LTD MH1000 and a Marshall dsl40cr amp, I should...

    Vapor lock be gone, fuel system overhaul.

    After trying phenolic spacers and insulating the fuel lines with some degree of success I've decided to throw everything at the problem. I'll try to post everything and check back once I start putting some miles on it for those who are having the same issues. As of right now my car does pretty...

    Vapor lock revamp thread, any interest?

    The parts are ordered so work will commence soon just looking to see if there's any interest in me doing a thread on the matter. I've put 19,000 miles on the car starting with basically the plain ordinary parts then added a phenolic spacer, insulated the fuel line and now will do a full fuel...

    Aluminum fuel lines, thoughts?

    Just curious what the thoughts were regarding aluminum fuel lines mostly in regards to today's fuels? I'm getting ready to replumb my fuel system and really don't like the idea of running any form of hose from front to back for the simple fact that you have to fasten it down so frequently to get...

    SOLD 1969 Charger fuel tank

    I have 2 tanks to sell, one I picked up brand new as a scratch and dent so it's never been used and the other is soon to be removed from the car. The one that's in the car presently was bought new and has 20,000 worth of use on it but is painted black, the new one has bent corners. Sending unit...

    Tanks inc

    I'm finally going to squash this vapor lock issue but wanted to see if anyone has installed one and can provide some input. This is going to be stupid expensive, $900 ish to convert to an EFI tank, in tank pump, return style regulator, plumbing, blah, blah. My question is exactly what makes the...

    Grill mounting brackets, what do I need?

    I picked up this grill for a 72 Satellite I'm working on but it takes different brackets, what am I looking for? I tried Google searches and it keeps bringing up the Satellite brackets? Looks like there should be at least 3 brackets behind the grill.

    Project Brown Eyed Girl.. and her 72 Satty.

    Most that remember me from my Charger build remember my sidekick daughter, she's always been a daddy's girl and just like her dad she had to have one so here it is. Once everything is prefitted it's getting stripped down to nothing and going on the rotisserie for a full rebuild. The plan...

    Transmission jacks for a lift suggestions.

    Finally had my first significant breakdown on the Charger, thowout bearing seized, spun the guts and out came the fluid. Since I put this transmission in by sliding under the car with it on my chest I thought I've got a lift now.. no problem WRONG! Damn is it heavier than I remember, I'm sure...

    Another garage..

    This one is for the wife but hey.. more stuff that can be unloaded from mine:thumbsup:. It will be 24'×28' with a bedroom above, 2' of stone wall then sided in poplar. Thought some of you would enjoy seeing this rather unusual technique for using natural stones gathered from our woods. Last...

    Dad's D250

    Figured since I've been away a lot I'd share one of the projects that has been keeping me busy when I have time. Finally finished the bumpers and got the two tone on it.. looking finished now with only a few small things to go. The rear bumper is a 2010 Ram bumper with significant mods, the...
