With out knowing you or what you have done, I might not think you could do it either.  After seeing your thread, I think you could do something like that easy.


The dask was also my favrite part of the car, kind of retro, but still modern. That is what I want to do with my 73 charger.  That's why I started with a 73SE 318 2 bbl with no options

 :2thumbs:  your have more confidence in me then i do.  this is my first project that ive taken on, i got the car when i was fifteen and only started on it at 20.  what ever i have done to the car i picked up from hanging around shops or learning from a friend of mine over the last five years.   We barted back and forth so thats how my car got this far and his house is what it is today. As fas at the dash goes i have something in the works but really havent had much time to get it started its a slow process. :brickwall:

Whoops... I just realized that I clicked on the wrong smiley.... I meant  :o   not  ::) (which happens to be right next to it).   :lol: :slap:  Glad you took it as was intended... a compliment.

I have always been worried that getting a project without having a real garage (I have a gravel floor barn) would be an impossible task. You have certainly proven that not to be the case.

i betcha i wont  :nana:  no wipers! :D.   its a great color but i was afraid it was gonna be to light with the black hood.  i originally thinking of going with some kind of graphite like the dakota r/ts came in but this definetly worked out.  i really wish that i got the car finished alot sooner becouse i keep seeing more silver cars pop up.  Thes a guy in michigan with a similuar color combo that was featured in mopar action a few months ago.

i hate keeping the car outside. The weather pays a toll on the cars. i used to have a garage for it but t was to far away to keep the car in and try to work on it every night, it currently houses a 70 hemi charger r/t thats very hapy there.  that carport moved to three diffrent places in that yard leaving nice brown spots all over the yard until my friend finally had his driveway extended for me to keep my car there  until i get my car running.

sorry for such a delay, life has just gotten in the way a little.  here are some more pics of the progress ive done.
