It is done! 70 Dodge Charger

Post by **joerg** » Mon Jul 12, 2010 12:34 pm

Finally, after almost 4 years of working on my charger and throwing a few buck into it she is done. I had to work on a few knick and knacks here and there the last weeks but now everything is up´n running

Took a few pic´s after i cleaned her today.

What a piece of shit! You should be ashamed of yourself for having such a crappy car!

(OK I admit it... I am jealous)

It was built to last and it will last for another 40 years now!

No system in this car! I need at least one car to go shopping with.

I tried to do some sound deadening on the car with a layer of punch mats and the self sticking sound deadening foam. Didn´t work out that well!

next time try sticking it to your head/ears and I bet it would work better.......

So... you don't mind beeing stared at EVERYWHERE YOU GO do you?

Very nice ride Joerg, same comment like I posted about your special MS1K's comes to mind; for most people this will remain a dream to own....
BTW; that's the ONLY WAY you'll be able to park it!

[it's a little bigger than today's standards hehe..].
You'll be able to go shopping and get supplies for one month ahead I guess.
Hope you'll be able to enjoy it yourself for that next 40 years; would make a cool "oldie"when you're one yourself as well.....

I did see that vid.......
And while it may be useless while in motion, some sort of system wouldn't hurt while sitting next to it with both doors, hood and trunk popped open at the car show....... Frosting.......

I too am on the jealous wagon.............

sounds GREAT Joerg, but I'm happy your not my neighbour coming home late at night

That thing revs fast! Is it normal for this type of engine to rev at more than 1.000rpm when cold? The Mercs I work on [with mechanical injection] rev at 900 tops when cold, and idle at 800-850 when warm.
Congrats with this AWESOME machine man.

When i took this video it was sucking false air and not adjusted right. I´ll take another video this weekend. My car is idling at arround 800rpm´s when warm too.

simply stunning, i could only wish of owning such a car, even if i could afford one it would never fit down my drive

That's immaculate Joerg! It really doesn't get much better than a 1970 in SubLime with the six pack! Good form sir!

I too am very jeal-ous!

McLovin, what happened to your avatar?

Hey Joerg; my wife brought something home from work sometime ago.
By now there can only be one person it belongs to....YOU!
Expect this as a present in the mail; it's to celebrate with you this result of so much work and efford.

[btw; she wants to be taken for a ride in "the monster"when we ever come to Austria....

].
Wil and Nico.

I found a place to store my charger at, that is pretty close to my home (5min walk) But the best thing is the asphalt space which is private property where i can drive the car without license tags! Took a few videos today!
