|
Fish picked up his new charger today. This one is just a hair closer to driving than his other one.
Looks pretty decent considering. It's got some surface rust pretty much all over the edges and only the driverside rear quarter is all the way through.
318/auto combo. Runs a little rough.
I think he said it was the bleeder screw for the front passangerside wheel cylinder is stripped but he's going to be pricing out a front disc swap. And now one of the rear brake lines is snapped. The dude towing it didn't really seem to know how to strap the car down. And only did it with two straps. Had I known I would've brought a few of mine. Oh well.
On to the pictures.
And one with my new wheels just for good measure.

Looking good, but restoring those old Mopar's = $$$$.  |

That's real cool and all but a little birdy told me that Mangus and a buddy of his came over and helped Fish get the T/A running again - better, stronger, faster!
Any truth to that rumor?

NICE looking car(s). that charger is aching for a set of stock wheels. those pizza cutters have GOT to go! i am sure one of your 9 sets of charger wheels will find it's way on there soon enough

I notice now I did. I'll take it in tommorrow and put together a parts list.
How'd it come off the trailer with no brakes? |

Mmm.... Top Banana.
Hard to tell from those pics, but are those rust pock marks starting to come through the paint over the rear passenger wheel, and behind the drivers rear wheel? When I used to work on Mopar stuff, we had nothing but problems with that.
BTW, real nice looking shots of that T/A. What was wrong with it? |

Fish, you're looking a little over $300 for all the stuff.
Normal price for those rotors is like $80! It's freaking insane. I think I can get them quite a bit cheaper than that though.
Most of the stuff is at my warehouse so it's easy to get ahold of. |

the one thing pretty much all old mopars are good at is rusting

Ian, what do you think of going that route for the front brakes??? |
