Simply magnificent! Well done.

Charger_Fan · August 11, 2005, 01:26:40 PM

Absolutely fantastic!! All that hard work has sure paid off!

Are you going to be able to make any car shows this year? If so, make sure you bring plenty of rags to wipe off all the...

Now you'll need to build an additional room just for trophies.

ChgrSteve67 · August 11, 2005, 03:40:50 PM

You've got a lowjack in that RIGHT!?!?

Wow that really looks nice, a lot of people are going to develop neck problems from head whips as you drive around town.

IBsmokin · August 11, 2005, 04:02:56 PM

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Silver R/T · August 11, 2005, 07:39:57 PM

nice looking, work finally paid off

ChargerRob · August 11, 2005, 10:16:50 PM

Beautiful car. The colors are awesome. I just love Red Chargers with Black tops.

ChargerHound69 · August 11, 2005, 10:24:46 PM

That car is very nice. I love the way it looks. That is what my 68 will look like when it is done.

BigBlockSam · August 11, 2005, 10:35:55 PM

Sorry, what's a lowjack?

Jeroen.

ChgrSteve67 · August 12, 2005, 05:08:31 PM

Its a tracking device that allows the police to find your car after someone has stolen it.

http://www.lojack.com/

I guess I need to learn how to spell it correctly.

BigBlockSam · August 12, 2005, 05:12:06 PM

they have one now that you can go on your computer and hook up to there web site . then you can track your car through a satellite. i guess it's like global positioning. Rene

ChgrSteve67 · August 12, 2005, 05:40:13 PM

I don't need a device that lets my wife know where I am at all times.
I don't care that the police know because I never do anything illegal.

I guess it could be somewhat usefull the next time the tireshop guys go joyriding in my Charger.

lojack has a new device where you carry around some kinda keyfob in you pocket, when your car and the keyfob keep getting further away from each other the system will text message, page or e-mail you so you can go check on your car.

Silver R/T · August 12, 2005, 07:03:22 PM

red with black looks nice

Sixtyeight · August 16, 2005, 06:33:01 AM

Hi,

I'm waiting now on the RDW, thats the inspection we have over here when u need new licence plates. They also have to approve that the car is road worthy...

cudaken · September 11, 2005, 12:42:39 PM

Sixty 8, job well done. Under side look's great as well. Glad I took time to watch the start up video and I do mean time. Took 25 minutes to down load! To bad I don't have sound right now. Forgot how much they smaoke when started the first time. Getting ready to fire up my 440 later today for the first time as well.

Nice job Jeroen. Very well done! You should be proud!

Wakko · September 12, 2005, 12:00:50 PM

I think that's the best looking '68 I've ever seen...absolutely stunning. And the Vectors really complement the vinyl top.

This is certainly worth "the remark of the century award" There's no better way to say it!!

You really made me laugh! Thanks

gb70 · September 12, 2005, 05:54:55 PM

Jeroen,

I wish I could buy you a beer

because you deserve it! That is one of the very best jobs I've seen on the net! I am working on mine now, and I can only hope that I do that good of a job!!

Very inspiring!

Have you ever been to the USA before?

You're welcome Jeroen! Truly a finished product to aspire to! What do you do for a living? I'm thinking it must be a very meticulous occupation ..... that pays pretty well too

Thanks for the beer, would be cool to have that someday...
But never been to the USA, unfortunately. Think when it ever comes to that, nobody can get me on the plane back to the Netherlands.

Thats very perceptive! Meticulous it is! I'm a quality manager of a metallising and lacquering company in the world of cosmetics. But would gladly trade it in for a job as restoring Mopars for sure!

Thanks Ken, but the sound really does it for me! Get your sound working!

Did your 440 fire up go well?

I finished up my '69 just about the same time you did in 2005.

Nice job and go enjoy that beauty some more.

Charger_Fan · January 25, 2008, 12:36:41 PM

So let's hear some feedback...how do you like driving it?

Sixtyeight · January 25, 2008, 01:20:58 PM

Hi,

Well, driving is pretty amazing!
First I run a Holshot 3200+ converter which was spectaculair, but pretty uncontrolable...few months ago I installed a TCI 2600, and now I can read and write with the car!
Further more it handles like a new car, and I love it very much!

Is your Charger lowered up front - it looks like from this angle, that it is a lower profile. Or maybe it's a larger tire?
I can't tell.....

but nevertheless.....

Bravo

THE CHARGER PUNK · January 25, 2008, 04:54:33 PM

what kinda exhuast and mufflers did you use? it sounds great

Sixtyeight · January 25, 2008, 05:01:24 PM

Hi,

Larry, that torsion bar suspension is adjustable...

Awesome. You have accomplished a MAJOR lifetime goal ! I hope you CAN own it FOREVER !!!

1969chargerrtse · January 26, 2008, 12:50:43 PM

Fantastic job. I love the grille color, it looks perfect. Not to bright or dull, what color did you use?

Sixtyeight · January 26, 2008, 01:19:03 PM

I took the original grille to a paintshop and they took a sample of a piece that was still looking good...From that they remade the color and put it in spray cans.
So the color is a replica from original.
