1965 Dodge Dart Charger
Ulf, you're almost done and it is turning out perfect. I am looking forward to seeing it and meeting you in person. You and all your helpers here have done such a great job with this project and documenting your progress. I just have to ask, what's your next project? tmm
Mike! Thanks for the comments. I totallt agree with you re all the help here from the FABO community. I must admit that all the help I have recieved from FABO members from around the globe a amazing. In my wildest dreams I could not believe that I was going to find so many stories, so much knowledge and so much history as I have from the FABO community. And not to forget all the help I have got from all odds and ends! I'm not sure that I could ever completed this restoration without FABO! So hats off to all you members out there who has contributed in whatever way. You will be remembered.
Next question is in my thoughts too! I was wondering if I was going to make a full restoration on the 270 wagon I bought from Lance.But I changed my mind. I will re-do the interior and leave it as is.
I bought a 270 2 dr sedan from the first owner in Sweden. He bought it brand new at Reedmans in Langhorne, PA as a wedding gift. Drove it up to New York and had it shipped to Sweden. Drove it until 1977 and parked it due to some issues with the brakes. Was going to restore it some day! (Have we heard that before?) I started calling him in 1986 and called him every second year. Last year he called me for the first time and told me,
-I'm 81 years old now and I'm not going to complete the restoration. If you like you can have it. We agreed on the money and I got it in mid December last year.
My plans was to restore it as a driver condition. At the same time I'm tired of making everything 100% stock.
So my idea is to build a tribute car to The Ramchargers. 273 Power pack engine w/tag and using a dual 4 barrell intake from God knows, gear drive and 4-speed. I also has a sure-grip rear end for it.
I have talked with The Ramchargers about my plans and they agree. The guy who owns the right to the name has also approved the use of the name The Ramcharger.
So we will see which way I will choose! To be continued.......
But today was a funny day when I mounted the passenger seat. It is a little tricky to get it done but after a while it was there.The nuts on the underside is the yellow dichromated ones. I's getting better and better.
