BoostJunkie Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 this thing is gonna be a beast he is contemplating a supercharger for it and if he doesn't he is going nitrous for it lol, personally i hope he goes the blower route .the body work on it is rough looking at the mo but tbh for a car that was made in 1973 its not too bad i mean these things are solid i mean it takes 2 to lift one of the fucking doors lol, but the plan is to strip it back to a bare shell (as not only do we have this 73 charger on the go we have a dodge dart in middle of build aswell lol its stripped to a bare shell, but larry wants to charge on with the charger no pun intended.more pics will be coming soon the block is pretty much set up the pistons are in but my fucking ipod died on me and i couldn't get any pics and i can only work on it at the weekend cause of the baby, but hoping to have it ready for street wheelers in the summer here in lethbridge its a massive car event the whole town becomes a car show the cars drive up and down the main strip and there is a 100ft drag event this year that was held on the main road crazy canadians lol. so larry wants to try it in the 100ft. i missed the 100ft event this year but have pics of last years if anyone wants to see them ?
