Finally, again, some progress on my hemi68..... more pics

[hemi68charger]

Well, there's light at the end of the tunnel..... Took some pics of "Hemi" yesterday.... It was a great site of seeing her fenders and doors on again, albeit it's temporary.. Smitty's making sure all the lines are good, he'll remove, paint the portions needed prior to bolting on for good and painting....  Whew........... A little before, during and now......

  Looks good. I know what you mean, progress can be slow and painful, but it's fun when you see something done.

Glad to see Smitty coming through for you Troy!  I know you have been hoping for a lot more a whole lot sooner, but at least something is happening now.

Guess you'll have to stay on him to keep the pace up, right?

Looks great!
I can only hope that mine will be in a similar shape this year!

[Charger_Fan]

Looks like that guy's got a few irons in the fire around there, to divert his attention.
Looks good, though.

Lookin good Troy! I can't wait to see that one done! Glad she's moving in the right direction. How did you make out with Dana? Did you get her back together?

I'm still waiting for the dash harness.. It was "supposedly" on back order for a week.. I'll be calling YearOne tomorrow.. I'll be sending off my dash cluster for the amp-2-volt conversion at redline this week... Didn't think it would take this long, but with a family with a tiny baby, it's amazing how time gets side-tracked with mom-n-dad things to do........

[69_500]

So at current pace your Daughter will be driving the car home from the shop upon its completion correct? JK

Looking good.

[moparnutty]

The Charger is looking good. It'll be sweet.

[hemi68charger]

Some more.. As of Monday.. It's further along since then.. I'll have more next week......  Took over the hood and trunk hinges along with the trunk torsion bars.. He'll be bolting the sheetmetal soon for alignment.. Paint is oh-so-painfully close.....

Trav,,
Not sure, but whatever shape it's in, I'm bring it..... Also, I"m planning, if it's rolling, trailering her to Boerne with my C500......  The seat cover and door panel sets have been ordered via Nick's Classic Parts.. I have the headliner already and I'll be getting carpet pretty soon..... I'll send the dash cluster to Dave P..... So, things are coming together..........

I sort of hoping the Elephant will be tucked away under the hood before then... If not, you''ll be first in line to drive the Durango with the hemi on the trailer while I'm driving Dana,,, ORRRRRRRRR, you can drive Dana and I'll drive the Durango with the family.......  I think I can figure out which one you want....... lol

[duo-stripe]

Well...uhm...can I think about that for a sec???



Gimme Dana 

[hemi68charger]

Here are some more pics I took today.... I just "HAD" to bring the "HEMI" badges to put on the doors.... Wanted to fill the holes up.

  looking real good  , how long before  paint 

[69_500]

Any set dates on the paint Troy?

Looks like its definately progressing. One of these days you will have it done, and then you'll forget all about those wing cars.

[Hemidoug]

It's getting there Troy!!!! I'll bet you can't wait to see it in color. Looks like he is almost done color blocking it. My 71 is just about where yours is right now. Any bets on who will see color on their car first?

What does Smitty say?........ Geeezzzz. He's the guy that's been on it for 5 years now..... He's got to be tired.....   

Seriously, I don't even ask the question any more.... At the current rate, I would think in a few weeks. I was hoping it would be done before I deploy to Iraq, but I'm not holding my breath........ I'm pressing on with other stuff.... I've ordered the new front and rear seat covers, door panels and carpet set.......

Thanks...... I'll hopefully have her TOTALLY done by year's end.... Then, I'll either drive the heck out of her or use it for trading stock for a Daytona or nice Superbird......
