Thread: My Project Car For the Summer

not my grand prix but my 73 dodge charger

what you think?

looks pretty solid!

I'm thinking you better hurry up and finish that project and send it my way

if im thinking in my state of mind then im thinking "too much work, ill just let it sit here and look cool while i debate selling it down the road in ten years"

but i do enjoy old cars with updated parts (especially suspension and wheels).

start ripping her apart man!!!! wanna see my project car or i call it now my problem child?? look at my signature... lol

I say add a 500 ci. wedge, air ride, 19x10's out back with 18x8's up front, killer paint with reworked factory themed interior..

Hell yeah, my kinda car! B-Bodies and E-bodies are where I started! I help build a 72 Road Runner w/ 400 BB. Nice car, decently fast car, always street raced with it. I also remember helping my buddy put together a 73 Charger to sell, it was only a 318 car though.

All I can say, Year One and Paddock will be you're friends when restoring. First thing is first. Pull out all the interior, check the floor boards, trunk floor, quarter panels, trunk extentions for rust. Judging by the pics, you have a little already in the quarters, hopefully its nothing major. Luckily that car DOESN'T have a vinyl top, those can get real nasty underneith. Helped my buddy once pull off one off a 71 Charger... lets just say it looked like swiss cheeze! Trust me, it was bad, The roof was literally sooo weak without that top being there, it eventully caved in. It was a lost cause anyway and only used for parts. A complete rust bucket.....

god damn i would trade my GTP for that charger in a heartbeat i love those rides are sick but they do take a bit of cash to be made sick =] lol

Yeah, those 318s are definatly built proof. My parents have a 73 'Cuda w/ a 318 2barrel. It has over 400,000 miles on it, the heads have never been pulled! Still runs and drives and is driven damn near daily too....
