My Ride...

Post by fiddlerfingers » Wed Apr 18, 2012 4:53 pm

Almost Done, 2 weeks to complete. This car was my first car. My dad bought it for me and I have had it for 25 yrs. I decided to restore the car 2 years ago and this is how far we have gotten. Rotiserie Resto, frame rail connectors and underside painted. Everything on this car is new. Matching numbers engine trans ect. Rebuilt engine by Mike Listen of MRL perfomance, stroked out to a 418CI roller cam and rockers, re ported heads, port matched intake ect, voodoo cam turned 502 HP at 5300 RPM and 507 Torque at 4800 RPM TTI ceramic coated headers and TTI exhaust. Tranny was rebuilt with all the bells/whistles shift kit, bolt in sprag ect, Rear end recieved richmond gears, moser axles, a set of Caltracs and Foose Nitro rims. Interior we recovered the original buckets and back seat, new headliner, new plastic all around, new carpet going in along with a new center console, dyno matted everything. Next we are installing the new glass kit I got from AMD. In-violet paint on outside and new reflective stripes. Check it out....

My 67 Charger

My dad unfortunantly passed away in 2006 before I started the resto. The reason I did not go back all original with the car was that he left me his 67 Charger which is OE certified, and has won over 70 trophys. I love the car but almost never drive it, so I built the RR to drive. Here is the 67 Charger, I took it out for a sunday drive last weekend..
