Hi everybody.

My name is ***** and I live in Belgium. I am also the father of a recent registrated member here BULLET-PROOF.

From my cildhood I was infected by the MoPar virus so that I bought me some MoPar cars.

My first MoPar is a 1969 Dodge Charger with some really horsepower under the hood.
The second I bought my firt Dodge Ram that was a black 1999 5.9 Magnum Sport Edition. That one I sold last year and started my search for my dream Ram.

The search didn't took that long as I finally found the one I was searching for.
A 2004 Yellow RC Rumble Bee that I got shipped from the US. On 11/25/2010 it arrived here in Belgium and since then I am modifying the Bee to my personal taste.
Because it is a US car it has to be registrated here in Belgium and has to become Belgium license plates. In about 3 weeks everything all the paperwork will be done and finally I can drive my Bee :waytogo:

I will ad some pictures here from the Charger first and then in a second post the Rumble Bee ( but it isn't in the final stage yet ).

The 1969 Charger :

Thanks people.

The Bee will be modified with a lot of stuff.
Some of them will be :

- SRT-10 bedcover
- Black coated SRT-10 rims with on the sidewall a small Yellow striping
- SRT-10 seats but with the inscription in the headrest changed into
Rumble Bee
- Smoke headlights and foglights
- Striping over the bedcover so that it is connected with the stripes on the
side.
- Black hood scoop decal ( already fixed )
- Pillar post from SRT-10 but with boost gauge ( already installed )
- Dynomax full exhaust system ( already installed )

and lots more and all the parts are lying here at home waiting to put them on the truck ;)

When all is installed I put some real nice pictures here :favorites13:

Welcome here bud. Good looking truck and I have to ask about the car. I see the RT tail stripe so it should be a 440 in the car, or has it been changed? I love the ole mopars.

your charger is flat out amazing. looks like you have a good idea of what you are doing. are you planning on doing a suspension drop at all. i think with the direction you are goinga 2/4 drop would look good

Hi.

Thank you very much that you like the cars.
About de Charger it is a modified with a interceptor engine and some more mods.

The tail stripe unfortunally they delivered me the wrong one. But I have the correct stripe here at home now and soon I will change the stripe or I wil cut out the R/T very fine and put 383 instead !

About the Charger : that"s the way they drive a Muscle Car here in Belgium.
The front is lowered a little bit an the rear has Hi-Jacker shocks.

They call that kind of look Streetmachine over here.

About the Bee i'm not sure yet how much I am gonna drop it :).

The Charger body style changed over to more of a sleek look in 71 0r 72 then stopped production on the charger in 74. His charger has the best looks between the 68, 69 or 70. The split grill was only on the 69 and the tail lights are different.
