This year I took up where I left off last year. The engine bay was painted along with the trunk area. Just about all the components were either replaced or cleaned and put back.

New parts include Stear and Gear 20 Shim p.s. box, hellwig sway bars, new shocks, custom 6 leaf springs, factory ralleye rims, gt2's tires...

360 bored .60 over, 340 X heads ported/polished, gasket matched, windage tray, speed pro rings, cran roller rockers, edie 1/2 inch lift cam, edie air gap intake, holley 700 double pumper, arp everything

727 with reverse manual valve body, 2500 stall, with gear vendors over/under drive behind it.

The engine and trannsmission were farely simple to install with only a few minor headaches, the air gap means drilling and tapping for heater hose fitting, the GV overdrive means bashing the shit out of the floor to get it to fit, and my old exhaust didnt work anymore. Not really headaches just some setbacks I ran into.

Ok, well to continue the 71 build. I had to change the interior to match. Originally the white interior looked great, but now I wanted something different, something outstanding, I know....the black and orange halloween interior! It would match the paint scheme too. So thanks to Dante I ordered 71 panels, and yes 71 upholstery...

the headliner was also done to clean that mess up. the old headliner was in ugly shape and was sprayed black a year prior by me cause at the time it seemed like a good idea, hahah.....

Unfortunately I am lacking a lot in the picture department because I built the car myself, and was never really thinking about pictures until ecently, I dont have too many of me installing everyhting. I will post wha tI do have though.

I ditched the console this time round, and went for the buddy seat.

Ok finally, heres some shots of the outside of the car...you can see all the 71 accents I made to the car.

1968 Charger B5 · Post by **1968 Charger B5** » Mon Jun 30, 2008 10:24 pm

All the 71 fabs include

Marker lights
Wing
Front spoilers
Ash Tray in front header panel
71 halloween interior
71 center caps
Slotted tips with cutouts in the valance panel

the diehard mopar and esp 73-74 roadrunner fans will notice I kept the Satellite wheel well trim and there is a reason for that. the 71 rr's had wheel well trim and seeing it is much different than my year, it made sense to keep my satellite trim to mock the 71 rr with it, which stays with the theme here

At this time I am finishing up the few final touches for Carlisle.

I will post pictures of the final upgrades for the car tomorrow. the past month has been electrical nightmares and finishing touches including

New dash, dashpad, ralleye guages, ralleye harness, console type steering column, custom pistol grip shifter (automatic), reverse light switch, amongst other things...until tomorrow

loved what you did with the rear exhaust cutouts, you probably could get a few of those regular ones and modify like yours and sell them..looks great give us a side pic with the stripes and all
