69charger2002 · February 10, 2007, 08:36:12 PM

well like it says here are some pics of where all my money has gone as of late, and why i don't have 35 cars anymore. been selling projects off and using the money to finish up the nicer ones. opinions welcome!
trav

those are a 70 R/T SE all numbers matching (wife's car) and a 60k mile 69 charger all numbers matching 383 with A/C, B3 blue

69charger2002 · February 10, 2007, 08:38:45 PM

more.. this is one i attempted to drive home from west virginia just last weekend. got it from a super super great guy on this web board, he goes by sunfire69. car is flat awesome. motor was rebuilt only 150 miles. i drove it 1100 miles and got to jackson mississippi and BOOM. head gasket blew. oh well i'll get her fixed. here are a couple pics. 318 car, now sunfire yellow with 70 R/T stripe and a 440 with a/c

69charger2002 · February 10, 2007, 08:41:45 PM

last set of pics. some are the B3 blue one from before it's finished now. the other is a white 69 R/T, not numbers matching, and i repainted it B5 blue. it is now at Kreative customs in kentucky being finished up. non numbers matching 440 in that one

that's all for now.

Looking GREAT! Reducing inventory and completing projects is in my plans as well. Trying to finish a workshop wiring project first... it is now ready for rough-in inspection.

damn Travis you have got an awesome line up of charger hardwere there

would like to see more pictures

thanks for posting

xs29j8Bullitt · February 10, 2007, 09:00:21 PM

Nice workshop Trav... What is the size? Looks like maybe 30x80? BTW, get the wiring, interior walls, floor coatings, etc done up front instead of waiting until later! Working in my crowded workshop is a pain, several pains actually!!!

69charger2002 · February 10, 2007, 09:15:18 PM

it is a 50x100 shop, and it is like a warehouse now lol! before i had a 20x30 and it held one car and some of my parts. all the others were under carports or sheds. now they will all be in a nice covered building. even the projects. i couldn't be happoer. thank God my wife let me do all the car stuff. now i gotta focus on building her a house lol

skip68 · February 10, 2007, 09:22:25 PM

WOW... 50x100... my 50x60 suddenly seems too small, maybe I need to build Phase II...

Congrats on the Dodge Mahal!

AMAZING collection Trav. Not many WEALTHY guys have such a nice collection, or more importantly have a wife understanding enough to let all that go on... (some want the 30k Purse)...

I think your wife is a DIAMOND for letting you persue your heart's desires... and then again bribery always works (isn't the black '70 R/T hers)?? lol

I LOVE the Sunfire '69. Looks just like the Franklin Mint model, but no redlines... She looks like a NEW CAR inside!

Bandit72 · February 10, 2007, 09:41:10 PM

my garage doesn't even have a cement floor

TruckDriver · February 10, 2007, 10:15:34 PM

I don't even have a garage

Cars look good Travis

Mopar440+6 · February 10, 2007, 10:24:32 PM

I'm not a huge fan of 70's but WOW that one looks awesome Trav! That "garage" is even cooler! Someday I hope I can have a shop that big.

jaak · February 10, 2007, 10:27:57 PM

Hey Travis,
Nice pics, I love the SunFire one, thats what my RT is gonna look like....one day.

69charger2002 · February 10, 2007, 10:39:33 PM

progress on the dayclona is very very slow. and no pics for a while. it's in kentucky getting quarters right now. i am hoping it's done by late summer.
thanks for all the kind words so far guys. makes me feel good. that building ALONE would have bought 2 NICE chargers
hard to plunk down that kind of money for a building. but i had to. concrete by itself was $9600. WHEW!

Shop floor here is 40x60 and it cost 10 grand. So you didn't do that bad in comparison. Oh yeah, thanks for the updates/photos!
Mark

I agree!... I paid well over $10,000 for the 50x60 slab over 8 years ago. In fact, just the up-grade to an "engineered" slab (larger re-bar, cross beams, etc) was $4500. My slab is a minimum of 6 inch thickness, with min of 7 inch thickness where the lift will go. The slab actually ended up coming in well over the mins...

CornDogsCharger · February 12, 2007, 11:05:41 PM

Out of all the cars there... I think the red '68 satellite looks the best

haha. I have seen all too much of that car. Seems like I JUST painted it.... and it was almost 2 years ago.

Silver R/T · February 12, 2007, 11:08:01 PM

nice cars man, impressed with your collection

DodgeChargerNeeded · February 13, 2007, 12:30:38 AM

I have known Travis for about 8 years now but only through AOL online chat. Somehow we have never met. I am from Michigan and he is in Louisiana. I have followed his collection since the very first General Lee way back in the day. I am jealous for sure but hopefully one day he will leave me a few in his will. For now I will just stick with my 1 car. Nice collection they all look great.

TripleBlackGator · February 13, 2007, 11:01:06 AM

Are those walls and ceiling insulated? If so, what with? What about lighting and electrical service?

;Dagreed!! Nice collection. My husband and i have a total og 9 cars. I want to be like you! Hubby says No more cars unless we get somewhere to store them. I love him!

PocketThunder · February 13, 2007, 01:50:32 PM

Nice Storage work shop Travis.

What is the ceiling height at the side wall and at the center?

tan top · February 13, 2007, 02:02:23 PM

nice new toy shop you have had built Travis

as i said in my first post awesome lot of chargers

...... but i am liking that sunfire Y2 charger a lot

awesome stuff

69charger2002 · February 13, 2007, 02:50:56 PM

thanks guys. the outside wall height is 10' and the center is 12'. very short but i made up for it in length and width. yes walls and ceilings are insulated. it is called double bubble, basically is sealed on both sides so rats etc can't chew through it like they can normal unfaced insulation. cost about $3000 total for it but i can already tell the difference

How the hell did I miss this thread??

Geez Trav, those pics of that massive garage with all those bitchin' cars is enough to...well...umm, let's just say I won't need any Viagra for the next 2 years.

Congrats to you, Man! You're living the dream.

68 CHARGER R/T · February 14, 2007, 12:48:04 AM

hey travis the place is looking nice. i was hoping you would have called or emailed me about that drivers side fender for my 68. rob

69charger2002 · February 15, 2007, 09:33:32 PM

thanks charger fan. glad i can contribute to your "say no to viagra" campaign. 68 R/T i emailed you the fender was not very nice i didn't feel comfortable selling it to you since you needed a nice one
