Agree!  The worst part is she looked pretty decent when I got it.  You never know what you have until you take the clothes off.... This thing was a basket case.  I always feel better stripping a car 100% and doing it right.  :2thumbs:

Of course it's taking longer than what was planned, but I hope to drop the engine, trans, rear end, in it real soon.  Hopefully 4 weeks from now! 

Thanks for the comments.

Is the Strange rear a Dana 60 or 8 3/4? Is the whole setup from Strange? How much did it cost you?

No problem.  Yes the rear is a Dana 60 with the TruTrec upgrade.  It was a little over $2k.  Shipping was an extra $100.

I REALLY like it!! But, Im gonna have to paint my black 68 a differant color if people dont quit building more and more black ones. We will all have the same Charger before you know it.

The thing is though, They just look so Dang Awesome in black!!  :2thumbs:
I know what you mean.  When I leave the parking lot, I often walk up to the wrong car with so many of these Chargers driving around.

Looking awesome Mopar mann!!!! I am just starting the process on my '68, and I am going to do the full AMD skins as well; how did you free up the old skin, particularly at the seam along the rear of the door? Did you melt the lead off and then drill out the spot welds? 
Again, nice job!
