My 1970 Dodge Charger 500 is definitely a great car. I bought it in the summer of 98 and haven't done much to it.. On this page, I'll try and give some helpful information about fixing up a classic Muscle Car. However, if you have a problem or want me to put up something for you that might help others, please Mail me and I will do what I can to help. As I continue to restore my Charger, I'll report on my progress and problems, so keep checking back to see what's new. But I'm already planning what to fix next. My next big project is redoing the frontend; replacing tierods, ball joints, control arms, as well as some other parts. I've been serching the internet and newsgroups for some parts I have been looking for. I've found radios, bumpers, gascaps, doorpannels, as well as many other parts. My point is if you're looking for parts, they're out there, just look.

First off, some specifications on my car.

I don't have the tools or the know how to rip out my old one and out in the new one, so I took it to a Midas nearby. This ins't a normal Midas, one of my buddies works there. He took it in on Monday and had it done on Saturday. All of the pipes were replaced and the only thing that was not were the headers. He put on 2 1/2 in stainless Mandrell bent pipe and Dynomax Turbo mufflers. To end it all, he put 3in Chrome tips on it. Only problem now is the mufflers shake like hell and vibrate into the car.
