My 1968 Charger transformation project into a GL

[68coronetGLwannabe]

I say go for it! It will be alot of fun. I have a 70 Charger done up GL style. Still working on the motor. The only place I see alot of them are on ebay. I live in the Phoenix metro area and have seen only one at a car show about 3 weeks ago lived here 20+ years. So go have some fun, its only a paint job.

 I think if he was messing up a plain jane 69 people wouldnt be so upset. But he's butchering a 68 the best year so it's upsetting people

Here we go.....

The important thing is he is taking the time to restore the car, who cares what color it is! This will help preserve this car into the future. Then when he sells it to someone with a dream of owning a blue 68 R/T clone,they will have a good car to start with.

Looks pretty cool man!

thanks a lot guy for all your positive comment!

It is now official, next monday the car will receive the traditional corvette orange flame color:)

    I do think it's funny when I hear there is too many General Lee's out there.    I've only seen maybe 5 or 6 out in public in my life. "( not counting car shows )"     It's your car so have fun brother.     Just so you know, expect lots of attention and try not to spend too much on paint.    Like I tell everyone, "this car will get touched, leaned on and even sat on for pictures."    Chuck...................

That must be a typo it should read 70 is the best Year

A 1968 is essentially as TV-correct as a 1969 car. 

About half of all the real GLs (including 1 out of the 2 close-up cars) were 1968s with nothing more than the grille centers & taillights changed over.  Eventually they even changed a few things on the 1969 cars to match better with the 1968s.

I think I can't deal with all the attention when I would transform my 69 into a Lee.
Just sitting next to Chuck in his Lee cruising thru town proved it. 

Enjoy every moment with your Charger and good luck with the 'paparazzi' 

I agree!!  The first ride I took in my GL I thought the car was on fire or something.. People yelling, waving, beeping, taking pictures..  I don't think I like that type of attention, but oh well, it's a bit late to think about that...

I'm with the rest, do it however YOU want!!

I live in a highly populated area with a TON of car shows all summer long.. There's one GL from Cape Cod to Boston. I've never seen any others around, and I love seeing it out there!

I don't want to put a damper on your dream or anything but why didn't you just find a '69 that was all done and just needing paint instead of the restored '68? I'm just kinda curious

in quebec 69 charger is extremely hard to find and the price are  too crazy.. compare to a 68...

[MoparManJim]

I still don't know why he took a nice car loke it was and did that to it. I would have sold that car, and found a good running charger and went that way. Don't get me wrong, I like chargers to General's, but why in tarnations take a nice looking car like that and turn it into a General Lee? I know living a dream.I even ak him this over on the othe rboard as while and got "it's my dream" kinda. The car was beauteful before right down to the interior..I know it's his car and he can do what ever he wants with it.

Sorry, I gotta agree with MoparManJim on this one. That was a nice looking car, there. I have nothing against General's so please don't take that the wrong way. It's just that the car was pretty sharp the way it was.

And please, for the sake of all that is Charger, PLEASE tell me that it isn't an original R/T car!!

Personally i have never liked the GL stuff, never understood the fuss.
I know the TV series and the movie, but
Hate the fact that they destroyed a lot of Chargers.
Think they look childish...
On the other side "DO WHAT YOU WANT" it is your dream and your car

Nelson, where are you located in Quebec? I know a guy in Shawville Quebec that has 2 barns full of Mopars. He has four 69 Chargers. Two are turn key General Lee's that are For Sale. Also has a 68 Charger.

[Leonidas Rex]

With all due respect, the car looked fantastic as it was. I guess we all have dreams to fulfill and we live with them or without them.

Good luck on the build.
