I just got done changing out the leanburn and thought I would start a thread on my car as I make progress and changes if you guys don't mind. I'm not going to do much under the hood except for headers and chrome valve covers. I want this for my cruiser and if I want performance I'll take the Charger out when finished. I'm not going to modify it to much. I just want to put wheels,tint and change the paint scheme. Interior I just changed out the steering wheel. The wheels I'm putting on are Cragers 15x10 Rear and 15x8 front with Gabrial air shocks in rear. I was woundering on the paint. I'm thinking of doing silver on the bottom and leaving the top original with red pin stripe breaking the two up. What you think? Tint the headlight covers and windows, dual exhaust and hit the road. I know I'm writing alot but the more I have this car the more I love it! Rich

Cool looks good. But why the orange box instead of a black box?

Yes, we want to see progress pictures.

How come 2 ballast resistors though?

The kit I got came with a new two prong resistor but said to also keep the old as it runs (other) things on the car. I wondered the same thing as only one wire off the old is being used. If I could I'd like to get rid of it. The orange ECU is the one that came in the kit. I got it from Mancini Racing.

One of my favorite things ever here and always will be, is when people do resto threads and keep up with them ( we all lose steam sometimes ). More pictures = more gooder.
