1970 Dodge Challenger hits the road! (again!)

1970 Dodge Challenger hits the road! (again!)

Drove my Challenger to John’s Burger finally, and the day after took it out for a couple pictures!

I worked hard all Friday to get it in an epoxy primer, and everything fough me along the way. The wind kicked up as soon as I put the mixed primer into the gun. My good gun is clogged so I tried one of those $20 Walmart guns, and it isn’t even worth the $20 I payed for it. The adjustable pressure regulator on my air compressor stopped regulating, so I borrowed the air compressor from my neighbor just so I control the air flow. Once I got it dialed in, it still sprayed crooked and ran paint on almost every body panel.

$20 Walmart gun review: Worthless. You’re almost better off rolling the paint on.

Here she is, on the freshly paved backroads of Springtown. No crazy burnout videos yet!

There is some driveability issues, need to rebuild the Holley, but she scoots pretty damn good!

The pictures don’t show all the random dents and hoo-haws in the body, but I’ll get to it soon.

No, that’s not crap on your monitor, you can see the last little rust holes above the rear passenger side wheel well.

I still can’t believe I’m driving this car again!
