Video of my charger start-up
« on: December 01, 2009 - 05:55:26 AM »
Thought of sharing with you why the challyproject hasn't moved forward for a while. I'm busy with my
first restoproject, a -68 Charger R/T with a 500 stroker, for almost 3 years now and sunday it was the
start-up for the first time. I was sick of stress the whole week before but everything went fine.
Since I build the engine myself it was even moore stressful, if it blows it's my fault.
I hope by having done this car that the challenger will be even better cause there is a lot of similarities
and hopefully I have also learned from all mistakes I've done, and paid for. :eek4:

Man,
You had me drooling in that show. That thing sounds as good as it looks. Sweet!! Great job you did there!! I know your heart was skipping when that thing fired up. That first time is a great feeling. Having a baby Mopar come to life!! :roflsmiley: :woo:
