Recommissioning my '68 Charger
Posted: Thu Jun 18, 15 9:36 pm
Hello everyone, my name's Lewis and I've recently joined the Mopar Muscle Association UK.
Among other things, I used to own a '68 Firebird. I made the mistake, however, of selling it about two years ago.
Since then I'd chopped and changed from time to time, but that lust for another muscle car simply didn't fade away.
To cut a long story short, I ended up buying the '68 Charger that Steve here was selling.
To say I'm happy with it would be a huge understatement, haha. It moves under its own power but it's effectively been parked for ten years, so it needs a little reviving - brakes, exhaust manifold gasket, a few patches of welding - but it's all there.
If you're interested, I'm formally writing about my experiences with the car as I go along, and you can find the first update here: http://goo.gl/ycmeyh
I'll be swinging by and updating this as I go along, and hopefully I'll get to meet some of you in person soon - I aim to have it on the road for the Mopar EuroNationals!
Cheers!
