New Guy w/MOPAR from NYC

[MrAngry]

Hi Guys -

I was doing a search for some pro-touring esq. websites and came upon this. It seems like a great place and by looking at some of the automobiles on this site everyone here is extremely knowledgable about these types of builds. I currently have a 1968 Dodge Charger that is evolving into a pro-touring machine. As I am sure most of you know it is a question of money, but it is coming along pretty well. It is powered by a warmed over 440, running a 727 backed by a Gear Vendors OD/UD unit.

I am currently just waiting for my BAER brakes to arrive which is holding up the rebuild of my front end - they have unfortunately been on back order since April. Not that there is anything wrong with brakes on it now, it's just not the set-up that I want. I have ordered the Track system up front and touring for the rear as well Hotchkis front and rear swaybars with Magnumforce fully adjustable upper control arms. The suspension has already been converted to poly bushings - so once the brakes and swaybars on the difference in handling and braking should be substancial.

Aside from taking information, I hope I can contribute as well.

I have included some pics of my car - hope everyone likes it.

Cheers -

dammit, i just changed into these black pants

Gotta love those those Mopars! Definitely making a statement with it. Very nicely done!!

If you don't like those Boyd Coddington cast caps I sell machined billet one that are smooth. Look pretty cool. You can machine you own logo or whatever in them if you like. Just food for thought...

Ethier way Killer car..Welcome aboard!!

[RussMS]

Love the Car. :thumbsup: We needed more Mopars.

Welcome!

[Hooligan]

Kick arse charger. :yes:


And welcome to the boards.

[MrAngry]

Thanks for all the replys guys - The Charger is a fun car to own for the simply reason that you just don't see to many of them. The more I look at other members cars the more ideas I'm getting for modifications. If anyone has suggestions please let me know - this car is a work in progress. Also please understand that I LOVE my Charger, but I am first a foremost a car guy - all makes and models, all shapes and sizes. Having said that I am really hoping to be able to contribute to this site.

Cheers -

that charger is SWEET. i passed by a light metallic green one in the town i work in (greenville, tx). it was about a 69. not 100% sure tho. It had a for sale sign on it. 9500. i wish that i had had the cash. i told a guy that i work with who has a lot of money that he moves around in old cars. i stopped to get the number for him the next day......sold. before i got to it. lol. anyway, enough of my rambling....thats my mopar related story for the day. keep us posted on updates

[Derek69SS]

just curious... do you mopar guys ever get sick of the question "That thing got a HEMI?" :D

I'm sick of hearing it, and I drive a CHEVY :willy:

again, nice car! :hail:

[Ummgawa]

What a WICKED Mopar! You have the stance and the wheel/tire combo perfect. Oh, and on the brakes, I went with Wilwoods, easier to get.

By the way, wecome! :thumbsup:

[61Bubbletop]

Nice car man, really nice. :thumbsup: Welcome to the site.

[Stuart Adams]

Hi Mr Angry,

What is the problem with Baer? I just went to order my Track and touring for my 72 Skylark, and now i'm afraid with the delay!!!
I will contact my retailer to ask him if i will have to wait so long as you are!

Sorry, forget to tell you that your car is very nice, clean looking interior too, going on the same way with Recaros and pro stick shifter.

Well -

I ordered my brakes on April 15th and was told first 4-6 weeks, then 6-8 weeks and then 8-10 weeks. I called last week and was told they are "supposed" to ship out on the 30th (Thurs.) - I have my doubts though. I have no idea how they can run a business like this, these damn brakes better be worth the wait.

[unrulyprocuda]

[gionni]
