Just a broke highschool student with a dodge
What's up guys! My name is David, i'm 16 years old and i live way up north in South Dakota. I've had my Dodge Charger since about... September? of last year. Previously it was my dad's company car and since he upgraded i got his old Charger. Before everyone gets excited about the big horse power numbers etc 
well it's only a V6 
but it's pretty quick and sooner or later i'll probably do a couple upgrades down the road. At the moment it's only got an ebay CAI, and some electric exhaust cutouts welded in.
I apologize in advance for the potato quality iphone pics.. I'm gonna use my Sister's DSLR when i'm actually taking photoshoots etc.
Here's a couple stockish pics of how it sat for about 3 months. (On 20" SRT Reps)
Dem instagram filters tho
So way back in December i bought some street edge coilovers and well i haven't had time with school, plus it's been cold so last night i started putting them on. Well it didn't go as planned and i got 1 out of 4 installed
So first i got all my equipment to remove the wheels
(It's on stock hubcaps because of the snow)
Then i got it up on jackstands, you know the usual.
Now we get to the meat of this install (I sprayed my calipers red a while back, i think it'll compliment the SRT Reps pretty well)
Had to get that rusty back bolt out. An Electric Torque Wrench is a man's best friend
And this is where it began to go down hill.... when i got to ball joint holding the upper control arm, i realized it was stripped... probably from some of the cheap repairs in the past. So i got out my trusty pitman arm puller and went to work
I ended up forcing the bolt back on after i got the coilover in and restripped it. It'll hold until i buy some adjustable control arms. I'll probably have to cut the bolt to get them off.. whatever
Well fast forward a few hours and i finally got the coilover put in.
That's about as far as i got last night. Later today i may get the left front installed, and if i can, maybe get the rears installed too.
I want to possible powdercoat my SRT reps because one has a little curb rash, and i'm thinking a darker tealish color? Anyone have any ideas? I'll try to get some interior pics and engine bay pics up later if i don't do more work on the suspension. I dunno how much more i'm gonna do exterior wise.... maybe i'll put some extra wide flares and make up a custom lip style spoiler. We'll see... I'll do my best to keep this updated the best i can.
