    Re: Charger Project

    Nice project, but probably an unrealistic completion date in my opinion.

    Should look great when it's done.

    you've certainly picked a challenge for yourself. As mentioned the metal work is fairly extensive... It would definitely put me off a restoration. I'm not sure how talented you are on the metal work and panel beating side of things, but I wish you all the best. You'll be able to take a lot of pride in this once it's finished!

    Re: Charger Project

    Another update,Michael has bought a house in the last few weeks and moved in, that has slowed him down a bit, today we picked up a stolen and recovered CM Regal SE 318 through a guy I know, this car was stolen and recovered a few years ago, it was all smashed up and the engine was tired, the guy had the engine and transmission, starter motor, alternator and loads of other things rebuilt including pistons, new valves in the head and lots other stuff. He started on the body from the front end smash, panels, recond radiator, front end and lost interest. We are going to use loads of bits off it and sell all the left overs, it has pretty good leather and velour trim, factory high line console and even a factory roof console. I reckon there are a few parts which might go mental on fleabay.
    Ah also bought a 750 double pumper a couple of weeks ago and getting an Edelbrock RPM Air Gap intake manifold, the 360 build is going slowly as we are still chasing parts, the bodywork is waiting for help as well, Very happy with everything so far.

    It is half a shame to wreck this CM Regal SE, it could be a good car but it had the compliance plates stolen it needs a full respray and a few other things, it has a little rust in it but it is well above average in the rust department, but it is flagged as a repairable write off and if you took it on as a rebuild it would need the full government inspection and that put a few people off buying it because it would be very expensive to get back on the road.

    Re: Charger Project

    Small update...

    Still on going.... lots of small jobs done, been on virtual hold,
    got the 1966 Chevy Belair which also needed heaps of work including a bare metal respray & pushed into the way.
    That finished getting painted about a week ago, still being put together & is looking great.

    Then 2 children......

    Anyway this afternoon the Charger went over to a friend's workshop to get the engine bay repaired & painted,
    then it will be having the 318 out of the CM put in, next the new boot floor, quarter panels & other rust done
    in prep for paint.

    It will be painted in an original Chrysler colour called "Limelight."

    Has taken much longer than expected but have not given up & hoping to have it finished in the next couple of years.

    The 318's were a good motor, 340 were great too. Love the sound of the ol skool Chrysler, keep us updated Ed?

    Re: Charger Project

    Will be building a 360 for it in time.

    We have had the 318 running in the CM (driven the car even) & believe that it is fully rebuilt as we were told when he got it.
    Everything points to that the engine had never been started since rebuild & I know the guy who put it together.
    It runs perfect, the same as the fully overhauled transmission.

    The Belair is getting there slowly, got to get the interior re trimmed as my son's dog got in there & eat big holes out of the seats.
