Well Ron, you are in luck because I just happen to have an extra one sitting around. Give you something to do in your spare time. Perfect time to - seeing as how many others are being rebuilt right now on this board. :headbang:

 

[Ron 73]

Yep, That would be nice.. The 69 is a good one for sure, and the 68-74 Chargers i could live with any of them... Most like just the old style, i do to but i like the sleek look of the newer ones to.

Really looking like it's coming together there Elk. Man your shop is cool

Doesn't look like much, but it is a great day for the Charger. First time in a long time it has sat on the ground with wheels attached. It is now officially a roller. The front fenders and the hood are the only pieces left to be blocked out. That and some seam sealer on the body and this thing is ready for paint. I stopped in at the body shop last week to check their schedule and kind of figured this would be a bad time because of all the car - deer collisions happening right now, and I was correct. They are going to try to get it in the week of Thanksgiving, but I am not holding my breath. The deer hits in the fall around here are their bread and butter. On another note, I also special ordered the wheels from Summit. We decided to be a little different and went with the Keystone Classics. 15x10's on the rear are snug to say the least, but I got the backspacing correct to get them tucked right in. The bad news on this is that Crager has just shut down the line on custom stuff for their yearly machine maintenance. So they wont be made until January. If I could have gotten the rearend in the car for measurements 2 weeks ago, I would already have them.

Here are a couple more shots of the beefed up k-frame after painting just for tallhair.

:hello2::hello2::hello2::hello2::hello2::hello2: Sweet, finally a roller now if your like me the dust on your pretty paint will drive you nuts until you get the whole thing painted haha. Nice job and congrats on the roller.

 

[Mr.SpeedFreak]

Bummer about the wait for everything but definitely awesome to have it rolling again and ready for some paint!

And c'mon Ron you know you want to join the Charger club! :icon_thumleft: Hell, that one has all four wheels, you'd already have a better start than me lol

 

[conv67bdere]

It is now officially a roller.

Alright H2E ! ! ! So, do we need to have a couple guys stop over now, slap a seat in it, and push you around the block ! ! !

LET'S GO GUYS ! ! ! H2E Testdirve time ! ! ! ( smile )

It's got 4, but I think they are all different sizes lol. You mean there is a subsection of FBBO called the Charger club? What kind of nutjobs would be a part of that?

Yea, the black dust on everything is starting to get old. Can't wait for the sanding to be done.

No seat needed here, I got in and drove while my boys pushed me out of the hoist area, making the standard car noises along the way of course.
