Re: your Daily Driver Vehicle

Damn 72runner - love your color ;)

Daily driver is an 07 Charger Daytona - which is getting a lot of treatments here this fall - Cold Air, underdrive pully, SLP LM2 exhaust, the 71 RR is getting discs up front, new hinges on the doors, 3.55 suregrip in rear and some tranny work so far.

Sloppy steering

yes I know, very common, mostly due to worn out rag joint.

So what have you done about it? How to tighten up the sloppy handling from the front end? tell me about the mild to the wild as I want to start planning. Pictures too

Thanks

Re: Windsheild

Got my windshield from Binswanger (sp?) just a few weeks ago, $221 installed with a tinted top stripe. one of the older guys came to do it. and he helped me clean a bit of corrosion off the bottom corners after we cleaned it up. we wire brushed it, sealed it and primered then he sealed with new seal...

Re: Door Check Parts

I just received a brand new set of hinges ( upper and lower ) for my 71. AMD released them a week or so ago, Mancini had the lowest prices, $229 for the 4 piece set. These are brand new not refurbs

Re: added another mopar to the stable

Funny thing about those wheels, they are stock, came on the Daytona's and were optional on the R/Ts. These are 20" Chrome "cladded" wheels, notice the word in qoutes lol So what they are is aluminum wheels with a plastic chromed cover over them, held by the nuts, or for a better word " hubcaps " hah...

added another mopar to the stable

SO I have been enjoying, completely the start of the cruisin and show season so far, in the Blue Bird. So much so I had to add another mopar after running into a few good examples at the various shows. I picked up a 2007 Dodge Charger Daytona, in Plum Crazy. Number 1271 of 1400. I tried like hell to...

Re: Challenge for the smart people

Ok here it is! I will have to grind off just a smidge on the passenger fender lip to ensure no scrub. 4.5 inch backspacing would have been better than the 4.25 but this wheel was not offered with that. What do you guys think? I love it, I also pulled the broken air shocks and the fitted coild spring...

Let's hope I got the specs right and accomplish my goal, will post pics when I get them on, lots o...
