Of all of the cool cars I've seen on Moparts since I started coming here in 1999, this is my favorite, and by a wide margin. Thank you for taking the time to document this incredible build. Your talent is off the charts.

Thank you! This car has been fun to build and I have enjoyed documenting and Posting the progress. Thank you for your comments.
Pat

Oh yes! It's a good thing that you have documented every aspect of your amazing build, because then you will know how to build another Charger when I take possession of this one! Ha-ha-ha! I am so envious of your awesome car and incredible skills! This is definitely the best build threat ever! There so much more great things to say, but I don't want to keep you from all the fun you are having, while providing us lucky members some wonderful entertainment! Go Pat go!

Thank You sir!



Today I replaced the right side radiator core support so I can use the larger radiator. The new part fit nice and I spot-welded it in place. I hope to test fit the new radiator next week.
Thanks
Pat

All the AC lines are finished and the drier & condenser have been test fit. So far I’m very happy with the Vintage Air Mopar B Body system. I’m getting closer to putting the car on the rotisserie.
Thanks
Pat

I'm envious of your skills sir!

One question about the AC line routing, are you going to make some kind of cover/shield to protect them from road debris? My luck, a rock, or even worse, a blow out would take out all that hard work.....

I had one bad spot in the right side cowl vent that needed a small repair, but fortunately it was accessible. The right side cowl vent is not used with new Vintage Air system; there is a plate that will cover it. Now I can water test it with a rust converter and spray it down with sealer. If anyone has a proven method for access, cleaning, and coating the inside of the cowl please let me know.
Thanks
Pat

The S/S lines are over kill for this job as they are rated for over 2500 PSI working pressure. I think they could take the shrapnel as good as the fender has for over 45 years. The AC lines will get a 3/16 neoprene insulator that will also help protect them as the undercoating protected the inside of the fender.
Thank You!
Pat

I fitted and welded in the left side US Car Tool inner fender brace. It needed a little massaging but fit really nice. Right side is next!
Thanks
Pat

I received my Griffin radiator yesterday so with the motor still in the car I test fitted it. I’m going to weld a 90 degree pipe on the thermostat housing so it will have a short top hose.
Thanks
Pat

In threads over on the a-body forum I have seen people remove windshield and drill out all the outer cowl spot welds and remove top outer shell of cowl. Then you will have full access. Other than that you cant get in there.

Disassembled the brake pedal assembly and added the clutch pedal. Next I will fit the assembly to the Hydroboost and hydraulic clutch.
Thanks
Pat

I test fitted the pedal assembly and had to weld over the original brake booster hole and cut a new hole in the firewall reinforcement mount. Also test fit the hydroboost and clutch master cylinder. I need to make the hydro boost and brake lines next.
Thanks
Pat

Mounted the clutch reservoir and used ¼ S/S tubing for the line.
Thanks
Pat

Very awsome project! Here is my cowl removed to repair old holes from racing in the top center of inner cowl. I hated to do it but only way to get full access. On a plus now can clen up vent holes correctly.

Thanks for the great picture! Mine looks a lot like yours inside so I'm going to try to chemically treated without removing the cowl.
Thank you!
Pat

I bent the Hydroboost and power steering lines to fit in the left side inter fender well. I used 3/8” stainless steel .035 wall tubing. All this test fitting, wiring, and line bending just to pull it all out before the bodywork starts is a lot of work!! I’m sure I will enjoy having all this work behind me after the car is painted. Wait that sound like I’m looking forward to the bodywork ;-(
Thanks
Pat

Went to Carlisle today and pickup my original front and back seats that I had dropped off with Legendary this past spring. They recover the front & back seat and I went with their Rallye front seat upgrade. I’m very happy with the look, shape, and fit!
Thanks
Pat

Did you beef the lower rad support ala the old XV brace?

It is a US Car Tool lower rad support that I special ordered without the holes in it so it looks original. Fit and worked great!
Thank you!
