Here's my latest project car! One like this will turn you into a good welder!

That's why I'm having someone else do the welding! :biggrin:

I"m looking for a 71-74 Dodge Charger,  I had one in high school but my cousin totaled it.  I would like to make it look like this one!

Kilroy , thanks for the link..  It looks to be  a SE, but the interior is green yuck,  but that can be changed. It's fairly close by,  so I may go check it out. The last picture look like allot of body work in the rear quarter a spot that almost always when bad.   Hopefully, they fixed it with metal not bondo. You can get the whole rear quarter for around $500 + .   I think the General Lee was a 69’, that body style 68’-70’ is very collectable.
 
Ltransam  If I remember it correctly wasn't the 426 Hemi listed it @ 425hp (for insurance reasons) … @ 5000RPM but the true peak power curve was a 6000RPM @ 530+hp and that was stock.. So if you reworked yours it had to be putting out better then 600hp+…. 140 is where the speedometer stops, I bet you where going faster. Those cars were very fast in the straight line but did not handle too well when it came to fast maneuvers.... Lucky to be alive and thank God  you had a  roll cage... was that for running the car at the track?
