Looks cool, get it on I'm with ya on not doing a "resto", it's your car do what you want. People probably aren't gonna like my direction on my GTX either
Travis..

Sounds great! I just love '70 b bodies
I bet I will like the direction of your gtx for sure Better to see them modified than rotting down I say
my pockets arent deep enough to go resto and I would not want to anyways because im building this to drive and beat on

Its your car man, do what you want! What are your plans for the 500?? Or the GTX??

Im with you on do it your own way, my cars "rare" i guess and originally is an auto on the console and 8 3/4 -- Boring. My mopars are all 4speeds so im doing that and adding a dana -- forget what others think.

---

I want to redo eveything on the car to best of my ability and budget. As far as custom stuff this will be a street rod version of a '70 charger I guess you could say

Shaved marker lights, shaved drip rails, 1968 charger rear valance,roll cage, flat black, electric trunk lock from a 5th avenue,70 roadrunner 8.75 rear (gear undecided), shaved door molding,original 1970 taillights with 1969 taillight bezels, autometer carbon fibergauges, b&m or hurst mega shifter,poly urethane bushings,just suspension tubular upper control arms, edelbrock performer shocks, and a bunch more modifications in store...Im still undecided on drivetrain as well. I could put a hot 360 in it and get them all wound up.

But Im glad you are doing your car the way you want because if you dont you will always regret it.

Id love to go to four speed but i cant afford to convert it

Any progress?

Very little so far. I do have a few more pics that I'm gonna add though
Very cold and I really need a building

You're getting there. Hang in there. As for a power plant ....in a 70 Charger it deserves a big block if you have a choice. Sounds like you do.

---

Well..I have the better portion of a 383, and I could get a 400 at a reasonable price

I just always seem to run across small block parts

These cars are heavy and do need all the torque they can get.

I'm thinking modified 400? If I did the 451 thing, I dont think I could afford a good enough set of heads to feed 451 cubic inches...

You can add the heads later.

Trying to talk me into it, eh?
