Attn Frank Bullitt, I'm coming for you soon! Here's a few pics of some progress. The vinyl top is installed, the headliner is installed, and ITS PAINTED!!The wetsanding, buffing, and polishing process is in full swing! We still have the tailpanel left to paint. The paint looks so wet and deep that you feel like jumping into it. This isn't my first black car but definately my favorite. Its going to be a pleasure trying to keep it spotless. My friend and bodyman Norm who is shown in the pics has been retoring cars for over 40 years. He is a Mopar lover through and through and has done countless Mopar restorations. He does one at a time so your not held hostage and his work is top quality work. He is 63 years old and does more work in one day than most do in a week. Thanks Norm for all of your hard work, I appreciate it. I spent every hour I can spare helping when possible but body work and paint are not my thing. his is the second car he has done for me. His waiting list is over 4 years long and he told me he has enough work to last until he passes. He definately has the passion to do things right and to see projects to the end. THANKS NORM!!! :2thumbs:

Why would you want anything else?  Just give me a Charger and I'll be happy.

I pointed to two old drunks sitting across the bar from us and told my friend
"That's us in 10 years".
He said "That's a mirror, dip-shit!

This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.
