Charger Update

It may not look like it right now, but things are moving ahead here in Southland with our Charger rebuild.

We have a sheetmetal engineer on side now to fabricate the new panels we require and of course Ben Wornall (of Wornall's Panelbeating) is as fizzy as hell to get started on it.

We've purchased a big block 383 aand 727 trans for it as this will fit nicely. But we will untimately look to replace it with something with more firepower and less weight. Read into this what you will . . . but twin turbos and lexus/supra engines have crossed my mind more than once being light and very, very quick.

The 383 will remain basically stock in order to keep the day to day running costs down. However, 'stock' is definately not the term I would use to describe what we have in store for the rest of the car. With increased track, performance brakes/suspension, and a number of other performance mods to compliment the exaggerated front and rear quarters. Think industrial, gothic . . . think low, wide and loud . . . definately something different.

Sheetmetal work begins in two weeks. Stay tuned for updates.
