Two of them are his friends, so I would go to say they have their own garages. :wink:

I'm in Beaumont(about 90 miles SE of Houston).

Mine isn't even "in" the garage...it's been pushed outside by the kids 4 wheelers and my wife's Dodge Ram Crew Cab.

WOW, some nice size garages. Traded the blue one for a Daytona clone and turned around and sold it to buy my Chally. I have to keep them tight together so my wheelchair fits thru on the off side of the purple car. :s015:

Nice Chargers :D What years are they? The body styles, especially the grills are very cool. If I hadn't been hooked on the Challenger, they would be my favorite ride. :thumbsup:

The '70 Charger's have the open front grill area like a '70 Chally IMO, is why I like them both. I'm not much of a '69 Charger fan since the grill is broke up in the center.

eddie, I had to open the hood of one to work on the other, forgot how to put it back together. :lol:

Thanks, I really miss the blue one.

I too don't care much for the 1969 Charger. I leave them for the "Dukes" fans. There are loads of General Lee clones over here. I am damn sick of them. I hate it when people ask me if my Challenger is one. :x

My favorite Charger body is the '68 with the '70 a very close second. The '70 has a better interior though.
There was a time when you could get a '70 500 for next to nothing. They had great interiors with nice options and a 383 big block 2bbl. All it took was a carb and cam swap to make them come alive.

Now even they are highly priced. I saw one for sale here for £50,000. :shock:
It didn't sell though. :P

My favorite one is the XX coded 69 Charger 500 Daytona with the filled in back light and coronet grill,(flush), to the edge of the hood, 426 Hemi 4-speed. According to Galen Govier 118 built. Very fast. Nothing against the show,(I have never seen an episode), sad how many were "wasted" for cheesy hollywood entertainment.

I'd be lying if I said the show didn't influence me and my love for the Charger(at least a '68 or '70). Daisy Duke was always a bonus.
I had a replicar Daytona. It was more attention than I wanted and took up too much room in the garage. :oops: The wing made for a nice towel rack for them after drying cars. :s008:

Recieved this 400 to build. It's going to the shop next month to get tested. If it's structurally sound, then it built into a 470 Nitrous Stroker, for my Son's 76 Duster.

A good choice, if you ask me. If I would start building an engine from scratch, I would start with a 400".

Yeah Christer, it's the strongest big block. I'm gonna build a 4340 bottom end with studs and girdle. Used Eddie's that someone will surely sell for the Victor upgrades, and spray the hell out of it with a bunch of Nitrous! We'll see how it goes. next month I am gonna take it to Best Machine to get it all tested and sonic checked. Don't want to buy parts for a boat anchor! 8) I have the tools to assemble and blueprint and my Son already wants to install it in his 76 Dustpan.

Look at all that metal around the big ends. Super strong! :D

Make sure you buy some good quality end caps and change to studs. The crank will be stressed with NOS.
