Man I love a white interior, sounds like an awesome car.

the thinner torsion bars up front really help getting it to hook up but your handling will suffer. but heck real racing is in a strait line anyway.

how does it help? I can't make it work in my head lol!!

of course in regards to transfer my brain might have stalled out at nose high gasser style weight transfer "technology"
You mean there are better ways?

Weight transfer Dave.

Get a pair of 80/20 shocks for the front too.

Keystone Classics are.....classics. Back in high-school, a friend had a black '69 Charger with a 440 6-pack and those wheels. Ate my Judge up.

I don't see a problem with the current paint.

Yeah baby!

Forgo the vinyl top but I like the idea of the burnt orange paint.

Cop wheels.

had torque thrust wheels on this 73 charger i use to own.

Dave, when You wanna plant that mother to the street just run a set of Cal-tracs combined w/ the MT 12" dot street legal tire, I pick on rice grinder's w/ bumble bee mufflers when they start it.
I think Ive seen a few of those youngsters on the phone to daddy beggin' for a bigger chip when they finally roll up to the next light LOL.
Its a blast to give em' a whoopin' w/ 20' of 40 yr. old maw mopar sheet iron.

How about the next best car, a 70-440 Cuda......


I'd post a pict, but don't want to steal Dave's cool thread.


Hate to see the period paint lost, but it sounds like a northern salt car, looks great in the picture.

Yes, I lucked into a cool "one of 488" car, but I had to sell 2 Hemi's to get it. A 57 Imperial 392 and a 1960 Sanger V drive w/'57-392 built by Mondello.....


Allen

DAYUUM! sounds like quite a nice collection

Gunner

Well guys, I just got off the phone with my paint/primer/autobody supply guy.

Spent $1034.90

Aint mama gonna be proud?

But that's everything I need, all my sandpaper, body fillers, glazing fillers, awesome polyester hi build surfacing primer, epoxy prime, urethane primer/sealer, my basecoat, my clear coat, misc mixing supplies like cups, sticks, spreaders etc.

It's everything I need for a show quality paint job, nice stuff.

So, that being considered, a thousand aint bad for what i have coming.

hell I even have a new spray gun tip coming for shooting that heavy primer.

Color is locked in, going with "sunburnt copper pearl metallic"

gotta be good right? hell it's sunburnt, it's copper, it's pearl an metallic lol!!

Now I have to place a body panel order and then my play monies will be about used up

You are pulling the engine and painting the firewall/engine bay the same color? Right?

Might as well get a set of steel wheels and shoot them the same color while you are at it for later decisions.

there's a company that you can buy the steel cop wheels from widened or send them yours to widen. my buddy has some 15x10 he got from them he ran on the back of his 67 coronet rt

Yes stx, the co. is called Wheel Vintiques, I run the black steel wheels and chrome lug nuts on my old RR.


Northern Dave, when You crack Your project open if You see You need any parts, I got lots of front and rear inner window components, also have a like new set of cragar's w/like new radial tire's, as well as factory front and rear glass for the 69 RR.
