[hemi68charger]

Hey gang...

Here are some pics of the Charger at home........ Along with my family, friends and being able to touch base with my friends here on the Charger forum with alot more ease, coming home to see my Charger in my garage was great !!!!

Let the resto. process continue, this time, on my timeframe..........

Lastly..

Here are my friends that helped my wife with the surprise and my little baby girl...

In those pictures it looks absolutely perfect!
What's the difference between LL1 and QQ1?? They look a lot alike.

And, what was the tally for the cost of the body and paint? (What is the price of perfection?)

Are you planning on driving it this year?

[TUFCAT]

Looks like you even got yourself an Elvis impersonator - sideburns and all.

The QQ1 is bright blue... My LL1 is a darker shade of turquoise with dark blue tint........ Sitting side by side, there's a definitel difference....

Depending on finances, I hope to have her going... The motor's rebuilt, now it's up to me to finish putting it all together with the accessories and paint.. The tranny needs to be done, but that shouldn't take long.... Again, depends on time and the flow of green backs........

The price? Well, I had a "deal" with Smitty, hence the nearly 5 year completion timeframe, albeit, it wasn't suppose to take this long.. Based on the work that was done and the paint job, it would have normally cost close to $15K if not more.....

lookin good ! now for the fun part!

[Ghoste]

Troy, that car looks great even unassembled like that.

[Hemidoug]

Damn Troy, you don't even have the drive line in yet and it's going sideways!  Can't wait to see you home safe and sound AND the car done! I'll bet you can't wait to begin!

[Big Lebowski]

Very cool dude, I remember that good feeling when I had my '70 Six-pack Charger painted back in 1998. You have some cool cars, and how's the Six-pack Charger coming along?

Hey Big,,
Well, it's nothing more than collecting the appropriate parts here and there for it.. Being a "commoner", I can only have one project going at a time........

[Manfred318]

lookin great so far

[pettyfan43]

Hey Troy, Who is the guy with the Elvis haircut? Looks like a guy I used to hang with several years ago.

[hemi68charger]

Hey Troy, Who is the guy with the Elvis haircut? Looks like a guy I used to hang with several years ago.

His name is Smitty, Henry Smith....

[pettyfan43]

That's who I thought that was! I used to work with him and we were friends for years. I'm just outside Huntsville Ala.

Next time you see him tell him Chris Louden said hey!

[duo-stripe]

landed in Houston yesterday; Smitty did a great job. Saw the car with my own eyes....looks awesome.

When I knew him, he didn't do bodywork. He can do most anything else on a car though! Hey if you need a 727 built, Henry's the man! If he's still doing that anyway.

Smitty does it all...... I've been his friend for nearly 5+ years..... Speaking of which, that's how long he had my Charger.. lol

Yeap, I'll be taking the 727 over there this week... He's simply amazing when it come to body work... That's the only reason I waited 5 years to get it done..... What's your name, I'll pass on a "hello" to him.......

Troy,

Everything's looking fantastic - glad it's all worked out for you so far, even though it's been a little slow.  Progress is progress, right?

[pettyfan43]

Topher-

Smart@$$   Well, we have to be talented at something.......

Topher is good at that but he's also a helluva guy!

Yeah Tell him Chris Louden from Huntsville said hey! Does he have any cars now or just work on others?

He has always been good at working on whatever he wanted to do on a car, just picked up and did it.

I've always been told to go with my strong points! Ya know, with todays gas prices going the way they are, you REALLY don't want to put that big ole gas guzzling beast under the hood of your car. Do you? Tell you what, I'll put it under the hood of MY car and let you run this fuel efficient 12 mpg 383 I have. Whatcha say?

[PocketThunder]

Nice Troy. After that many years I be you can hardly wait to have it back on the road again.

Speaking of that, Troy did you drive this car around for a couple years or so before you tore it down?  I dont remember ever asking about the previous life of your 68.
