This Charger was back last week for some dash work and engine mountings, the owner wants to bring it back real soon, for a disc brake conversion and a diff re-build with some 3.73s, he also wants a few other things sorted.

Good work Anton :thumbright: hope to see you soon....? :)

Steve's Cuda was pretty straight forward, fit pertronics in the distributor, get it running right, change the rad, whole front end poly bushed, changed all fluids, get the interior light to go off ( some silly sod had put the wrong bulb in ) and just make sure it drove nice.

More from Richards Torino. Richard wanted it so that the core plugs would not blow out so Anton made up a bracket to prevent this from happening, the exhaust boxes were changed and the engine bay got a coat of paint, I'm sure there was more than this but I can't find the pics.
