So what did you, in the North East, do to your Charger on this 60º day?

[doctor4766]

Not much in the Southern Hemisphere, sold the s/b 68 Charger so scanned the Net again and again for a good BB 68 in my price range  

And I'm in the south west but today I started to put my other Charger back together after it's new paint job

Nice VJ paint job Doctor , stocker 770 b/w is it?

Yeah 265 770 with close ratio 4 speed Bob.
Originally a metallic blue Charger but I just can't get excited about blue on these cars so Sunfire it is.

Anyone have their grill frames powder coated?  Mine was painted about 15 years ago when I got the car & its showing its age.  Thinking of having it blasted & coated.....

[y3chargerrt]

Chris I had mine power coated and like the way it looks.The shop I used blasted it first. Where did you get a bumper from? I want to replace my rear and rechroming is getting pricey.

i started all the cars and brought them to temp to get rid of the moister . checked all the trunks for water and YES! they are all dry . i replaced a couple of the trunk gaskets last year . then i picked up a ton of dog shit . after the snow melted i could see all the presents that my dog had left me.

I got one of the AMD repros...chrome aint bad but one thing I like is that its straight!

Ron got any good pics of it after it was done?   You can send them here....  admin@1969chargerregistry.com

Got a Sunny day in the NW, I got up and put my new Lower Ball Joints in before the kids woke up.  Got called in for breakfast, hope to finish the front suspension today!   

  <-- that's from my son, who's eves dropping on what I'm typing.  But, he's 5, so I'm kinda proud of him trying to read what I type... Anywho.

GIT R DUN!

Had another beautiful day here, finished up the suspension!!!  Fiddled around with a few things and fired the engine briefly.  Good times!!

Stared the Charger up and let it run for about 15 minutes.  Then went over and put a new power steering pump on my father-in-laws 69 Chevelle with my 3 year old  .  Good weekend over all.

WTH, I had the Charger out Friday because all of the snow melted away last week & now we have another 10-12" on the ground again. man, I was so ready for spring.

[resq302]

yup, as of right now, we have about 7" on the ground at my house.  Damn weather man said only 1-2" with changing to rain.   

[doctor4766]

Gotta hate that guys.

Slightly off topic.. we just had the warmest 9 nights in a row since 1992, with temps in the "turn the A/C on" range

[resq302]

thanks Doc.  Rub it in why don't ya?

We sat quietly and waited for the blizzard and 12 degree weather we got the next day.

I did mine years back and posted it.  It came out perfect.  Looked just like paint.

Found it.

[doctor4766]

That looks great.
Be a bit of work pulling that lot out again though.
Unfortunately the grille frame was seriously overlooked when I was putting my car together.
Perhaps it will be my winter job..........






If we ever have a winter again.

The place up near me (TCC) in Kingston has a huge walk in "oven" for lack of a better word.  http://www.techcoatings.com/index.html  They've done car frames and other large items.  A lot of their business is more industrial but since the owner used to run the local hot rod shop before Summit and Jegs took him out...  he's always helpful to guys like me.   

I'm hoping to get Sinnamon's PC'd but don't know when that's gonna happen.   Grill assembly is in the basement   

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Crikies!   I got a quote of $150 to blast the grill & $175 to coat it!!....well either Ill leave it alone or maybe scuff & rattle can it or take Bill up on his offer!
