It probably will be shipped next week. I'm really in no hurry as I need to get rid of a few cars (o.k., that is not true. Both statements in the previous sentence, that is). I'll try to get a few more photos up today to whet appetites.  :icon_smile_tongue:

Here are some more pictures of the previous owners handiwork in the engine bay. These are probably 18 years old.  I will endeavor to add recent photos in the coming days.   :2thumbs:

Hey Dan
In the blue before pics, I sure don't see that Arrow emblem on the sail panel behind the charger emblem.
Remember the pics you sent me they are there after the car is painted again... I wonder if he added them?
I sure do not see them on the before pics.

My September and December 68 Chargers don't have the arrow, its very unusual. I wonder if he remembers?

Brock,

Yes, there are items on the car that are not "period" correct but changes that I would have done anyway to make it "better". Now, if those pesky '69's only had those cool '68 taillights, then we'd be really talking! How are things up in the City this morning?

thanks for asking!

cold and damp threatening to rain again any minute..
weather report this morning says another four to five days of rain..
great weather to go through and categorise the old auto pictures i found at the flea market sunday...
I have the fire place going 14 hours a day here... and make two pots of coffee,...
I'm really into this old photo hobby problem is it's branching out into other categories,. old aircraft like WWI biplanes and i found a couple pics of what look to be prototype Grumman mono planes plus some post ww II Avengers, then there's the odd old photo that simply catches my eye and heart,.. I'll post a couple pics on the old photo thread a little later... i think I've collected approx 4-500 pictures mostly of old cars so far,..
retirement rocks!  :yesnod:

love your new ride BTW, we'll have to meet up at some point and diss each others rides..
