Hey everyone,
I just wanted to introduce myself, my cars, and i also have a question for u guys.
Well my name is David. im 20, 21 in February and i have always been and always will be a mopar fan. im currently in school, work as a mechanic for a bowling alley, and will commission as a second lieutenant in the army in years when i finish up my degree in aviation science.

My first vehicle was a 2008 charger v6. I loved the car but after all it was a v6. heres a pic


After about a year i sold that car and bought my current daily driver a 2009 challenger r/t



The silver charger is my brothers

Then recently i bought a 72 challenger
























As you can see ive done some work on her, but its now at a slow rate. i took that weak 318 out and rebuilt a 360, mild cam, edelbrock high rise intake, holley double pumper, etc.

heres what i want in the end just small differences.

my question is can i put a 70 nose on my 72 without major fabrication?

Thanks David

HI David, welcome! 

I'm from Mass. too, we have several members here from Mass.  I'm guessing you're from around Worcester.  Nice cars, that Charger was pretty sharp!

My sister was in the Army too, thanks for your service.  She was in the 804th medical brigade, I believe stationed out of Brockton.  She's retired a few years now after 20 years in the reserves.

Your '72 reminds me of a model car I have, a '73 Challenger Rallye, Plum Crazy with flames.

Feel free to ask lots of questions, lots of nice people here!  See you around the forum.

Welcome David. I like both your new and your old Challengers!

  Welcome! Nice cars! Thanks for your service!

   Hello and welcome to the forum!  I don't have an answer to your question, but someone here will know. 

It's great to see younger guys like you restoring mopars that were brand new when I was your age.  I enjoyed the pictures of your progress, keep 'em coming.

Nice project, I like the 360 they are strong motors. Good luck in the army.  I like Bowling alleys I met my wife in one "Blind date".

The best officers I ever served under were enlisted men , ( got into the NCO ranks) that went to OCS later! They really knew thier chit man!! Are you planning on flying Choppers.  I am still waiting for our troops to get Power armor and Mechs like in the video games. Gunning in a M1A2 abrams tank was nothing like Mechwarrior. But getting closer with the M1SEP. Gotta love multiple targeting.

Thanks everyone,
Im acually in the New Bedford area but go to school in Bridgewater. If u see me free feel to flag me over.
Im hoping to branch aviation but unfortunately its very competetive right now. i wanna follow my old commanders foot steps and be an apache pilot.

im hoping to get the engine in this winter then start on what i feel is the worst part.....the body.

one other question. anyone know if i can just get the bushing for the trans mount or do they just sell the whole thing?

[Chryco Psycho]

Energy Suspension has the poly insert for the trans mount , available through Mancini or Roseville
