Progress is slow going. Exhaust is on. Vinyl top is on and headliner is in. Finish the rest of the interior and chase issues. http://www.jakesgeneralstore.com/image/view/2106/_original

Jake your car looks fantastic! Love that color and the new black VT really makes the color pop. Congrats!
I did notice one big problem. Space appears to be at a premium in your shop so I offer you my assistance. I'll take that nasty old rust bucket Dart off your hands. I do what I can.  :lol:

Finally got to drive the Charger to a car show last weekend. Will post some outdoor pics soon. Wiring issue was loose nut on amp meter gauge. Friday night at 10pm I was still putting seats in the car. Made it to the show Sat AM. First real road trip. What a blast to drive. The 440 is very stout and the car runs just perfect. Best reward for building this car for the past 2 years is finally getting to drive it. Some finishing left to do and a lot of cruising left to do before the snow flys.

If you want a longer drive to go on we are going to "Cars and Coffee" in Chanhassen on October 1st.
