    1972 Dodge Challenger

    I have always liked mopar oval air cleaners. Original TA setup is expensive but next best thing seems to be Ramcharger/Air Grabber setup from B-body. There were little to none information about these air cleaners in e-body especially with TA hood. So i decided to bite the bullet and tried...

    Engine air fuel issues

    Thank you for the input. I checked few things before i move on to cruise tuning. First my vacuum gauge is old and real vacuum was 3 inches more which means in idle 900rpm vacuum was 16" and in gear 700 rpm it is 12". I looked over all vacuum lines. For example PCV valve was stuck closed, but it...

    Engine air fuel issues

    I had 195 thermostat lying around and changed that. Now the temperatures while city driving and idling are between 195 and 210. I m planning to order 180 thermostat. By the way with these higher temperatures it seemed to me that engine is running little better. I also used vacuum gauge. Idle in...

    Made some progress with interior. I got the seats covered. Made some changes with the layout to get rear and front seats to mach. Also whole interior is a little bit more beige than original. More closer to the headliner colour. There are still some problems with interior. Some plastics are...

    1972 Dodge Challenger

    Been working with lot of small stuff. Car is driving and even the brake problems got almost solved. I bleeded the brakes with vacuum and adjusted rear drums. Now the pedal goes hard at about half way to the floor. Might not be as it should but much better than before. Maybe anyone now what is...

    Working with smaller things now. Does anybody know how to get rid of spongy brake pedal. I have bleed the brakes over a gallon of fluid. No bubbles, no leaks but pedal is always soft. I adjusted rear pads as close to the drum as possible but no luck. Strange is that i even can not pump the...

    1972 Dodge Challenger

    Hello I have made some progress with interior. This car was probably a parts car in one time it's life. When I got it had most of the parts, but most interior parts were unusable in regular way. One doorcard was green, other was blue, back panels where black, one kick panel was black, other is...

    I played with clips positions, bent a trim a little bit and got these gaps smaller. Not the best but much better than before. More yell than worth it. Roof in the picture seems to be bad, but it is the place where i practice my cut and polishing skills :D. There 4 coats of clear to buff it...

    1972 Dodge Challenger

    I think fist i would get car to drive and later do something with this roof. First thing to do is to add little patch and touchup paint it as Adam suggested. If it does not come out okey i can always put on vinyl roof. Also got idea from friend of mine who painted raptor lining for the fake...

    1972 Dodge Challenger

    Now a little bit frustrated. As seen earlier I replaced hole roof with reproduction roof. At that time i did not have front and rear window trim peaces. Now i have and it is really frustrating to see how badly these aftermarket roofs are made. I massaged a little bit one rear corner of the...

    1972 Dodge Challenger

    Most of the wiring in car is done. With horn i used usual relay. Buzzer original function seems to be little bit odd when it starts buzzing every time i open the door, so i left it out. Also added a little switch undre the the steering column for dome light. Like with new cars i added little...
