Here's mine...68 R/T 440/727 not sure about the rear end, but I think it's a 3:23 open? Originally shot Dupont LL-1 with Bumblebee delete, black vinyl top, hood signals, black interior, auto on column , tic-toc, etc. etc...now it awaits my every last dollar.

440 out of car at moment, gotta fix up body too,


Why would you want anything else?  Just give me a Charger and I'll be happy.

Here's my 68. It's a 383 auto car. I'm currently in the process of putting a new set of leaf springs on that should lower the back a little...

I see you got shackles in the rear.  Adjusting those will lower your car. I don't believe new springs will do that job cause yours look minty.

Nice ride!! :2thumbs:

Thanks. The car looks pretty darn good from 10 feet away. Actually it has some type of helper springs on it that has a rubber bumper at each end of the spring. It does look like shackles though. I'm putting the Mopar XHD springs and KYB's on now. I'm thinking if I don't like the stance after that I might buy a set of front hangers from US Tool as they have a multitude of mounting holes to allow up, down and even fore/aft adjustments.

   The first impression I get when looking at it is that the rear is stock height and the front is lowered, looks perfect, if anything, maybe an inch lower in back if it sits too high for you,   but it really doesn't look like the back is jacked up, just looks like the front is lowered.

  Please tell me what size rims and tires you have front and rear, thanks.

I put the Fatman drop spindles on the front so it's definately lower in the front although it should be lower but I'm having a little clearance problem with the wheel opening trim. If I had increased the backspace a quarter inch more everything would have fit perfect. I'm still thinking about what to do about that...

The front wheels are 17X8 with a 245/45 and the back is 18X9.5 with 295/45. I sized the tires to match the height of the 275/60 and 235/60 15's that I had on it before.

Thanks! It's funny how that green can grow on you. I can't say that I used to be a fan of it but now after having this car for some years I don't think I would even consider changing the color.

Nice lookin' ride axlerod.  I've always liked the greeens and not so common colors. 
I like the stance just the way it is.  A little low in front, but it's got a nice rake.  :thumbs:
