Charger getting fixed...few pics

I went down to the body shop and heard my car before I saw it...lol. Here are a couple of pics of the car during repair from my deer encounter along with a little of what it'll look like when it's done.















I'll post pics this week when I pick it up...it has been one thing after another.

Thanks for looking.

 

Ummm WTF? Did I miss something? Deer, what deer?


HOLY CRAP! That sucks.

Glad you are ok though.

 

dang that sucks that u hit a deer. Those rims look sick

 

I hope the windows aren't down. Looks like a great job on the wheels. Was that weldcraft?

 

jon - glad to see things progressing!!! how many miles did you actually get on that motor before you deer encounter???? i remember coming home after springfest and going through west texas at night....man i have never seen so many friggin deer standing on the side of the road!!!

btw, did you have the wheels done at weld craft???? they do great work!!! hit me up when it comes time to do spacers..... i am working with dan at bt on some nice, exact fitting spacers for my car!!!!

 

This is the deer I hit on the way back from PPP...7 weeks ago. I had been waiting for the Grip kit.

Ya, those are Weldcraft widened and Permastar black-chromed. There is a guy in CA that has exchange packages ready on the wheels...I stumbled across him while talking with Permastar. He has return shipping labels in the boxes and everything ready to go. It saved me shipping my wheels all over the U.S.

 

sweet deal!!! are those the black chrome wheels???? (colorblind thing is kicking in again!)

 

I have like NO miles that aren't Interstate cruising. My wife actually took a driving complaint (she is a LE dispatcher) on me while driving from my house to the body shop...LOL (well, I thought LOL anyway)

I pulled in to home from my 1500 mile trip from PPP and there it sat parked. FINALLY getting it done.

(ya, black chrome)

 

i bet you can't wait to have her finally done!!!! i can't wait to see what the grip bumper will look like finished!!! love that bumper!!!

 

I do too...but it is 2" lower than stock. I had a few issues dragging my stocker!!!

 

2" lower! Holy crap! That's going to give you about 3" clearance. I wonder if NASCAR has them that low.

 

Jon...it's good to see that your gettin' your ride finally fixed. I haven't seen the Grip bumper on a car so I can't wait to see pictures when its done. The black chrome is a nice touch also. Since you got the wider wheels I'm going to assume your going with a 295 or 315 tire on the rear?

 

2' lower!!!! yikes, if i had that on my car, it would be torn to shreds in a week!!! :crying:

 

see this thread on tire sizes........

btw, i mistyped when i said 3mm spacers...... i run a 6mm (1/4") spacer with my 285/40's. i could run a 295 without issue. 305 or 315 will require the mods that magfx made to his maggie (see the very end of the thread)

Sorry you are having such bad luck Jon...on a brighter side it has to get better....waiting on smokin video..:bigwink:

 

I will have to wait the looooooong time until my brand new 275's currently on the rear are done Yup, 295's I think...no modifications necessary. I just have to find a combo where the fronts and rears are the same overall diameter...I think Legmakers are.

Oh, it's coming...it's coming The 426 has incredible torque and with a real torque converter now it takes nothing to waste my tires through second gear...torque management has nothing to say about it (as long as I stay straight!)
