GOd damnit ! It's a beer not a bear ... phone corrector
Hello everyone !
I'm Elliot, from Belgium, I'm 18 and I'm car fan, mechanic guy, MOPAR guy and most important B-body lover ! :headbang:
For the story, I saw the duke of hazzard movie when I was 10 and bla bla bla .. Fast N Furious saga Blabla bla ... I litteraly fell in love with the line of the Dodge Charger !
In 2012 I discover the french Mopar Owners Club and I learn a lot of thing. I realise that I could get a B-body ! Yup, me the little kid with a B BODY ! I wasn't fix with the model but it had to be a B-body! So I do my homework, estimate, search, ... Look for what parts I should put on my futur car.
I had a limited budget and wanted the best car as possible (like everyone else right ?) It hadn't to be the faster but I wanted to daily drived it and a glorious big block !
Back in 2015, it's january, I'm just 18 and a friend send me an ad of a 69 Charger Basic Roller with out engine, it fit my price range and It's already in Europe !
After a lot of hard stories, discussing, thinking, I bought the Charger. And then I had my dream car, my Hunicorn at 18.
Here it's :
I was the happyest guy on the planet !

it's been 4 months since I bought it. And I'm still amaze by the car. I still can believe what I did !
Unfortunately, I'm still in high school and I have to work all the time. I'm in senior year (The last one!) and I have to study for my exams
So the only thing I did to the car is remove the complete front end and the interior
The front grille was in bad shape :icon_cry:
I rebuild every piece of my grille. Just bought a small piece of grille to rebuild mine ;)
New lower control arm stiffened with Mancini plates
And the engine
A beautiful 440 rebuild by a friend (he swapping a 512 in his Cuda) :hello2: with the brand new 727 transmission.
I will create a new post for the restoration and also what I'm planning.
Elliot.
Ps: I'm sorry for my poor english !
