My initial goal of one year for my 68 disappeared over a year ago. Amazing how these cars morph into a much larger project than originally planned.

Absolutely, It has happened to all of us probably. Keep at it its worth it when you fire it up and drive her but be forewarned it sure doesn't end there either  as I'm learning now BUT still worth it. You car looks awesome

Know how you feel CDR. Charger is looking Awesome! Gonna be a nice ride when done.

Got the Challenger out yesterday, even with the state Po-Po next door, and drove it up the road. 440 4-speed was humming.
Forgot how much fun that was.

Been over 3 years now. Almost 4. Can't wait to get my cousin's Camaro out of my hair and get back on this thing with some white paint.

My boy's down there in Texas in the Air Force. I know he'd be happy as a pig in sh*t to talk with you and check out your ride. He's kinda in East Texas though.

I think it's near Abilene. Dyess Air Force Base.

Oh wow that's hardcore, lol.  I plan on getting a 'glass hood as also , and leaving it black.  The idea of a 6 pack scoop is something I've been toying with as well...

Everyone brings up a solid point: even if the car is at a stage where you can drive it daily you still won't be "done" with the car.  These cars are always works in progress and won't stop being so until we part ways with the car.  Besides, if you think two years is painful, I've had my car for 18 years and I'm just NOW starting to make a little bit of progress...
