A visit to his shop is enough to make you reconsider the current restoration effort on your own car, regardless of it's body style.
Fortunately for me, I get to see all of this great work...and it's definately changed the way I think!
No more rustoleum on my K-frame! Powdercoating is infinitely better! :icon_smile_wink:

Kori definitely does some amazing work!  He must be super busy...haven't heard from him in a looong time.

I always love his "assembling" pics.....he has some really nice jigs.

Looks like one is an R/T and the other a 383?

Cool, I'm gonna have to get me a BFG Challenger banner to go with my Cuda banner. I didn't know they made them.

 :o  NICE!!

Good idea on the lift too...  maybe I wont have to lay under the car while I scrape off all that undercoating after all...   :scratchchin:

472 R/T SE

I wholeheartedly agree.  He's a wealth of knowledge and I've learned a bunch from him.  He sent me those same pictures or you took some from the same angles.  He takes some other pix that would qualify in the "Chicks on Chargers" thread.  :eek:

The RT is a 4 gear car if I remember correctly, looks like the other one is too?  I had the chance to buy it several years ago local.  The guy wanted too much for my blood.

That's how they were assembled the first time at the factory.I wonder how much the body flexed when that front end was lifted like that?
