New from McKinney Texas 66 Charger

[Harrison75]

Hello all! Having been creeping on the site for a while since many of the threads show up when googling for parts or information, so decided to dive in. Just started restoring my dad's Charger (not papered mine), that he gave to me as my first car in '95. I blew the engine in '97 and moved on to a more modern car. Dad kept the Charger, and after some guilt tripping, was able to have him title it to me so I can start the rebuild. Currently working with a mechanic to restomod the Charger. Appreciate the look, just want to bring it to a more modern mechanical stance. Any and all help would be appreciated, and looking forward to having some great conversations with some really well informed people on this site.

Removed the 318Poly that was in it (will keep for later). Just too hard and expensive for parts, looking to upgrade to a crate 360. Any info on where to pick up a great crate at a reasonable price, please let me know!

Thanks!

Dad also had a '69 Charger back in the day. Sold that one and kept the '66. Really love that '69 style though.

Appears your car was originally DD1 blue car?
