yep... absolutely fantastic job there Brian, you are a very talented guy  :2thumbs:

Any details on the 472 Crate Engine ? From Mopar ?

It's a Mopar crate, but it's one of the good one. Built by Stanton racing engines. Runs very nice.

Just checking your work on the charger.Car really came up a treat.Do you still have this car and do you have others.I would like to know your job as the car turned out very sweet.Sorry I didn't come along sooner.

Charger-Bodie

Thanks for the compliment Aussie!

As for you question of what is my job. Collision repair and restoration is what I do . I own a shop with my cousin, where just the two of us do all the work. I learned the skill from my Dad. He had a shop that I pretty much grew up in. His shop burned down , but I kept doing body work.

As for still having the car? Yes I still do, but I have a deal brewing to sell it. I'm going to really miss it.

I also have a 68 Charger R/t ,so I won't be without anyway. And eventually I want do build a General Lee with my son .

The car is officially sold..... Loaded onto the truck just a few minutes ago. It will always be among my favorites. Having a lot of mixed feelings right now. Back to only one charger again.  :'(

It's not easy to let them go. As for the work and time part. Honestly, I really enjoy that part the most. It's my catch and release program. A buddy of mine say hey, look at it this way,there are that many more nice cars roaming around now.

The car was a dream come true. And now it will make other dreams come true .

It will be a while but next I'd like to build a General Lee . My son is six and when he is ten or twelve..........

Congrats Brian :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs:

You had a lot of sweat into that Charger but with passion.

Good luck on the next one. :cheers:

I'm going to be keeping my eyes peeled for a decent deal on a 68-69 to eventually build a GL.
