My RR-1 `68 Charger R/T 440 pictures thread

[nihil]

Several of these are also in my "Hi folks, options for cooling a 440?" thread, but I took some new shots today and figured I'd start a thread dedicated just to pictures of her as things progress.

First time I had seen her in ~20 years:


After hosing off 10 years of crud:






First day home next to my daily:


I saw this door get slammed into by a CJ sliding down an icy hill when I was about 5yrs old, 30 years later I fixed it:







The rusty bits that need replacing (trunk floor and around the rear window also need replacing):





An impromptu photoshoot from this afternoon:










And one shot of all the girls together:

Let the journey begin.... Keep that puppy as stock as possible just like your Dad had it (didn't he own it?)........... It's an awesome project and looks like you're already ready for the photos... Nice angles.............  That '68 would look great with 15x7 magnums..............

Wow! That Charger is in great shape! It looks a bit oxidized in the chrome and paint, which is NOTHING compared to most of it's vintage.

Are you planning on repainting it to the same color? I have a 1968 Plymouth Barracuda that is the same hue. I'd love to see what that shade looks like in a fresh coat.

Yep, she's staying the same color. Here's what they look like freshly sprayed:
