My 1968 RT charger Project

[tayseer]

Hello every one this is tayseer from kuwait
this is my first post in this forum, i hope you can enjoy with my my dodge project

This is my 1968 RT charger from the begining , I have bought the car from A guy in the state, shipped to Kuwait as a project car, it runs but it need a lot to work to make it show car payed $16,000
it is true RT charger, engine and trans are 1971 dated, i wish it was from the same year at least. the rest of the car is all original, i have restored the engine and transmission, restored the body as origanal as  i can, bought most of the parts from eBay, summit racing, and others, spend a lot of money in purchasing parts  , but it is fun in end, i still have to do a lot of work in the electrical part, i will post some of the picture to show the progress of the project, it has been already almost 1 year since the beginning of the project    oct/ 2015

started with striping out the car from inside out, interior was first, taking photos of everything as reference, then outside like lights, bumpers, moulding, then the engine and transmission was the last thing to take out

it turnout the project is not too difficult to do, but it need a lot of patient, and finding the correct knowledge and information, if you can read and search for information then you're in the right track
i have done before 4 similer  project but no as deep as this one  
the car started as 1968 RT blue color, automatic 727 central console, with AC, 3:32 rear end,

Welcome Tayseer. Looks like a great starting point for a project.  Typical Charger rust, nothing too shocking. I like the bungee fuel tank mounts.  

Btw, how did you find out that the seller was gay?
