Hey everyone, well the 68 is finally road worthy and road bound... the interior is nearly complete (just some trim pieces need to be ordered) but I got to go for my 1st ride in the car since I was 5 years old... I gotta say I was like a little kid when my dad drove up to my house in the car... I posted a quick video (10 secs) of the car on the highway!  Enjoy

This Charger right here is a one of none, that means none before it, none to come.

Congrats! How long did it take you? Is that the original color?

Some poor '70 owner is missing his seats. :lol:

Wrong seats altogether so button placement is moot. ;)

Sorry for my initial terse response.. I'm suffering from a pinched nerve in my neck due to the Charger (unlocking the passenger door) and I am truly a miserable SOB (just ask the wife LOL)

Nacho - thanks for pointing out the seat placement... I'll work on those with my pop once my neck gets better

And I have to say it's an awesome feeling being pinned back in your seat by a 440  :2thumbs:  More pics in the next few days

I guess you'll need to keep the tracks on the side they are because the follow the floor slope on each side. Tracks lever should be pointing outwards too.

everything we tell here ( or mostly of it,  LOL ) is just to help!

another nice touch will be paint black the bottom of doors inside, to match the interior.

You know, details makes a better stance on car!!! even on an AWESOME car ;)

Looking good!  :2thumbs: Is that RT280 or 80? Looks very familiar.

People are going to confuse our rides pretty soon. I ride the same streets that you guys do.

Beautiful car. Love the color. Enjoy!
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.
