Hey Mopar friends! My name is Roy(23) and am starting to fix up my 318 68 Charger my pops gave me in HS. the car is all covered up but I uncovered it a little today to snap some pics right quick for you all. I already Have a 440/727 for it. going to take it to the body shop in a few weeks to get started on body. I will be doing an affordable restoration, nothing too perfect I dont have much money to work with so I am working with what I got.

As for looks I want it to be a Dark Charcoal Gray color with a black vinyl top, and some 18" Torq Thurst II's wide out the back. Kinda like a touring style. Anyways here are some quick pics..sorry for the car being dirty but I think its a perfect start, car is complete!

Why aren't you driving it currently? If I had everything to do over again, I'd drive mine until everything was ready for the quick swap or restification, or both. I lost a lot of miles having it apart waiting to get something together.

Oh BTW welcome and '68's RULE!  :punkrocka: :nixon:

Howdy.  That is so cool to not only have your high school car, but that it was a 68 Charger.  :coolgleamA:
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.
