The Willomet Charger
- Thread starter AgDieseler
- Start date
A desecration to Mopar nuts everywhere, this is my protouring, LS-powered, 1970 Dodge Charger; built at my shop, Willomet Motor & Fabrication.
Just a cool build I came across. Not sure if really how I would have done it. But cool either way.

I like it a bunch. Nicely done.
A very well executed build. Good find. The rocker detail is especially interesting.
In progress photos are my favorite:

Wow that guy basically built that car from scratch to make all that fit/work 
Major update: the toilet is out of the charger.
Also, I picked up some organizing bits from a couple of local estate sales.
The top box will hold all my AN fittings. The old Powerkraft box is what initially caught my eye for fab tools, but it came with the no-name bottom section that I'm thinking will be fun to modify and make into a welding cart. Not bad for $30 all in.
Getting the shop ready.

Where'd you get that air tool hanger? I could definitely use one like it.
I actually made one just like it out of some angle iron. Much better than putting all the tools in a box drawer. Especially since impacts take so much room
The Amazon:

It is a simple design, and could be easily fabricated. But, at $20, I'll money-whip this one - cleared out the entire bottom drawer of my Craftsman chest. I didn't fully appreciate how much room was consumed by air tools.
David
Thanks, just ordered mine 
I have had this one for years . ...... blue point item .
I LOVE IT

Money whip. Yep that's going into my daily vocabulary
Bump.
I'm thinking he said this was on hold for a bit. Can't remember why though. Maybe maint. issues with the suburban.
House project addition and partial remodel, which is mostly complete now. It's time to get back to her, and the list of house/shop/work/side-work things continues to get shorter.
The phrase, "it's not going anywhere," is both a reminder to be patient and a taunt.

Been 4 months... Any progress on this?
Sort of.
I'm building a storage shed that will hold the remaining household and yard tools that are in the shop, making space for a drill press, a cutting station, and the eventual blast cabinet.
Chassis steel is ordered, and will be delivered once I'm back from Katemcy. I plan to put the car on a frame table and brace the inner structure before removing any more original metal.
I've not made the kind of progress that I want on the car. Time has gone to more client projects than I originally planned, and lately to suburban prep. The latter is a habit I just can't quit, and the former is a time crunch of my own making. Two projects are on deck for when I get back: Rover winch bumper, 48 Plymouth paint prep.
I was chatting with @sreidmx about work on the suburban in advance of Blazer Bash, and could feel the Charger's look. "What about me?"

You've had a spectacular start, don't loose your momentum.
Thank you, and that kind of encouragement is a key reason for sharing on this forum. It's appreciated.
