Ken I think ghoste saw that out the front of your place , and turned that into a car

fy469rtse, not that one, see the trash cans next to it? Yep, I cut all the parts up (was pretty easy) and the trash truck took it!  

Up State, unless by a few dollars you mean $5.00 buy a new one! About the only thing you cannot get new is seat and dash frames.

Have you had the frame and spring perches checked yet?

Upstate... Congrats on getting your charger. What part of Florida.. I live south of Tampa.

Thanks Memphis. Just ordered bigger aluminum blade fan to help with the summer heat, and new front struts. I'm west, over on Clearwater beach, hoping to have this thing out of the shop in a few weeks and start seeing where people gather to check out some more of these cars.

Front struts? 

Sorry to pick on you, I am weak! 

[upstateholdings]

Ken...you are indeed one tough customer man. Once you sell a few hundred cars, shocks and struts all blur together. Perches and frame look good, actually had a guy check them out today just for you 

Gas tank came out today, got a packet of receipts from last owner dating back to the 70's for all the services done. Should have fuel and brakes situated and able to drive around in another week or two.

Sorry Up State, I am weak. 

Glad to hear your frame is in good shape!

This is awesome!    My '68 Charger that I purchased in the summer of last year was due for a few new pieces of metal. It turned into a complete rotisserie resto! I've got a long way to go, so we're in the same boat! Hopefully each or our questions being answered can help the other.

Good luck and I can't wait to see the pics along the way!

Sitting at the shop, valve cover off - so looks like the guy wasn't bs'ing when he said the motor was fresh.
