Hemi Charger 500, an update.

[Magnumcharger]

At Joey's Place in Edmonton, Alberta. The bulk of the bodywork is complete, and it's now back in the sandblast bay getting some minor spots touched up.
The new quarters, floors and wheelhouses look fantastic!

And a link to go with it:

HOLY CRAP is that rotisserie for peterbuilts? ....lookin good by the way

[Magnumcharger]

I guess the rotisserie is over-built, to ensure "floppy" cars don't bend.

Looking great !!!! Is Kori helping on this project?

Troy

Havent heard from Kori in a while...hows he doing?

[Magnumcharger]

First...the HemiCharger 500 isn't MY car! (I only wish!!!)
I've ONLY got a '68 Charger R/T...(pictured). Which is coming along VERY slowly!

Kori is alive and well and living in Peru.
Wait! That's Festerbestertester...(Mad magazine reference).
Actually, he's finished working at the Chrysler dealership he was at, and he's gone into business for himself. His job as a line mechanic was infringing on his restoration biz, so one had to go.
Obviously, when you do the kind of high-quality work he does, the work will always be there!

And he is VERY busy!

And yes, this car will likely find it's way to his shop for completion, sometime in 2007.

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Good news.  I miss Kori's updates & emails....maybe you can get him to register the 500

[69_500]

I had thought that you had the information on his 500 already Chris.

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

You're right I do.  Its hard to remember all of them...Im getting hit with VIN's all over the place!

[69_500]

Thats why I only track the 500's, it easier to keep track of just a few hundred.

[70 Charger RT]

I went to Joeys yesterday (Jan 19, 07) to take some pictures of the 500 but not much has been done to it lately.  See below.  It's originally and F8 Green car and Joey told me they are painting it back to original.  I'll post updates as it progresses.

[Magnumcharger]

It is taking awhile for that car to be done. But knowing who owns it, and what they're prepared to spend on it to make it absolutely perfect, it's to be expected.
Still....it's come a long way!

Just curious, why are the hood hinges black?

Just curious, why are the hood hinges black?
