New guy

[RIFF-RAFF]

Hi everyone,I'm new to the forums but not to the car hobby.I've owned several old Mopars including a '73 340 Road Runner,'74 360 4 spd 'Cuda,'70 383 4 spd 'Cuda,'71 383 R/T Challenger and a factory A12 4 spd '69 Six Pack SuperBee.My SuperBee was flawlessly restored and was my last muscle car which I sold back in '92 for a whopping $16,000 so I could put a down payment on a house.
Well the house is now paid for and the time has come to build a new toy.I've thought about going the muscle car route again but I've been there and done that and my money would go further with something else,something different.I've settled on a front drive Dodge Shelby Charger that I already have that is in very clean condition.The plan is to go with a tubular IFS with a triangulated 4 link rear clip,a 6.1 Hemi,6 spd and either an 8 3/4" Dodge or 9" Ford rear.The car has perfect paint and interior and If I can salvage both,I hope to build this car for $20k or less.
Any comments or sugestions?Any links to chassis parts suppliers like ChassisWorks?Thanks.

Welcome! Sounds like a cool project.

I'm sure browsing through some car craft mags from the late '80s will show some FWD mopars converted to pro street, I remember a red daytona back in the day.
the shelby charger is cool, which color is it?

Yeah..I've located tons of stuff on Pro Streeting these cars and even a place that specializes in Pro Streeting them.( http://www.di-customcars.ca/ ).I've never been a fan of the Pro Street look, its single dimension and small back seat.Pro Touring cars can go straight and carve up the corners and I really dig the low tuff looking stance.Building up my Shelby Charger would give me a very unique lightweight ride (2400 lbs).The car has perfect and original black paint with the silver stripe.
