New guy with 69 charger in California

[Red Stripe]

Long time lurker on the site so I figured it was about time I introduced myself.

My car is a 69 charger that I have been updating over the years trying to make it a handling machine. It's got a 440 with a mild mopar performance purple shaft cam, edelbrock RPM intake, 800 cfm thunder carb, TTI headers, Dynomax 3" exhaust, March serpentine pulleys, MSD ignition, 727 trans, 8 3/4 rear with 3.55 gears, Hotchkis TVS suspension, Hotchkis/fox shocks, Baer T4 front brakes, Baer ironsport rear brakes, hydroboost master cylinder, firm feel stage 3 steering box, Intro 18" wheels, corbeau seats, and LED lights all the way around.

Got it directly from Firm Feel Inc. Just did a straight swap and it feels great.

Thanks! I love the way it handles now and totally happy with all the aftermarket parts. Hoping soon to get it on a track and see what it can do.

Nice car! Do you have the specs(18X? and bs) on the 18" rims, I have a 69' Roadrunner that I would like to put 18's on. Also do you have an interior pic of the seats and I am curious where you found the LED lights. Sorry for so many questions, but you have a really nice car. :hello2:

Thanks Birds8869!

Wheels are 18x8 with a 4.75" backspace and 245/40/18 tire. Rears are 18x10 with a 5.5" backspace and 285/40/18 tire.

All the interior lights are 360 degree ultra bright LED bulbs from LEDlight.com. And the LED parking lights came from http://globaloverdrive.com/ These are a dual bulb, white when the parking lights are on but change to amber when the turn signals are on. And if the parking lights are off they work just as normal amber turn signals.

And the seats are Corbeau GTS II seats. Leather with suede inserts.
