I did post the next update but then the computer had a wobbly so apologies if this ends up a repeated post. Now for the bumper. Neil's high quality control standards had resulted in the first bumper due for me being rejected, but I would rather wait than settle for a lesser product. So when I did go...

Some alternative dictionary definitions: BRACING = Jumping into the Atlantic on Christmas Day INVIGORATING = Mistakenly rubbing Deep Heat into a wound instead of anti-septic (when you're tired and hurting in a dark tent these things happen) INSPIRING = Running in a refreshed engine in a Charger with...

Enjoying the Beauty 'Pala in Classic American - look forward to similar accounts of what happens with that amazing Charger.

You've probalby seen the film 'Joe Dirt' but if not have a look - I reckon you've got the UK version!

By the way Jonny - Patina - love the look of your Charger: there was a beat up blue Plymouth I think a couple of years ago, maybe the 2006 Nats, with a great set up that gave the French Connection's green Challenger a heck of run. It is fantastic when something so raw looking is set up so well. That...

June 2006: new brake hoses and pitman arm for MOT, the latter needing heat and pullers at the local garage to sort out for me. Planning for the Nats that year received a boost. Having been up in the wife's MR2 and my Discovery in previous years I had arranged with Ivan (Missouri) to go in convoy: me...

May 2006: Having previously sprayed the underside I pulled out the seats and carpets to expose the floorplans and wiring runs. The driver’s side was pretty solid but the passenger footwell looked like a burnt brownie and I could see a couple of pinpricks of light. The Charger had left the factory wi...

Spring 2006. In order to start gearing up for the rear end sort out I needed to know whether the gold paint could be matched. Apollo Industries in St Mawgan had a person with a spectrometer that came down to them every so often but to provide a proper analysis they needed a piece of the paint a few ...

Last bit for tonight: Phil440 - It is the original bonnet. The 'orrible scoop had been cut through so Dave Madders had this patched and sorted very well for me before I picked her up. Whilst making my jobs list the immediate conclusion I reached was how happy I was with the refinished black and whit...

In Autumn 2005 I made a list of jobs and missing things. Here's some extracts: find rear c-pieces sort out cracked dash pad find missing driver's side kickplate find missing drip rail trim by driver's quarterlight find missing rear defog switch and bezel find missing external rear window bottom corn...

Thanks for the comments and questions guys - I'll try to fit in answers as i go. OK so it's now Autumn 2005 and I'm starting to get to know my Charger. If you look at the Victoria Inn picture (with Missouri from the board and me) you'll see she is missing c-piece eye brow trim round the lights and t...

After a thorough investigation the first job was fully wire brushing the excellent underside and painting it with layers (6 litres in all) of stone chip paint. Forty years in California is one thing, four winter months in Cornwall without any protection would have been quite another – even in a heat...

The Charger was imported from California in Spring 2005 with a horrible hoodscoop and some damage to the rear end and bumper. Atop the 383ci engine was a two-barrel carburettor which, when I decoded the VIN, would have been the case when she left the Hamtramck factory as the 29,186th vehicle made th...

Ok so I've had my Charger three years now and haven't got round to putting anything in the Member's Car Show yet, so here goes. A few things for starters. I got this car as I just love the design of it - I don't have the mechanical know how to turn it into a strip monster, nor the money to turn it i...

Just a few pictures from today. Great weather, great hog roast, great time from Miles - 14.234. And yes, Mike, Miles wants me to say I can confirm it's a genuine time as it's on the slip :D What'll he do when he puts those 3.9 gears in? Hope everyone got home all okay. I've been put in the doghouse ...

Excellent pics Kev - the more the merrier
