[boat-cars_are_beast]

yes lol im 15 but my great grandpa and i were talking about building a car for fun like he did with his son but then cancer took him... im not in the dark about cars tho i have posters all over inmy room and ive been trolling this website learning till i got accepted  so i could do this nd ive learnd so much in the past 2 years

[boat-cars_are_beast]

once a week i ussually go out to my grandpas farm and work i have 5 grand saved up so far but i know im still far away from the price of a nice charger

[boat-cars_are_beast]

im not car retarded either lol i understand most of what i read on here lol

[boat-cars_are_beast]

i want to build a 1970 charger r/t thats black with a blood red stripe dwn the side 440 big block i dont want this car to be a show off but i think the grunt of this car is absolutly stunning ^_^ me nd my gpa would youtube videos of chargers and whatch his old vcr tapes when he raced in 99

[boat-cars_are_beast]

but what i really need is prices i know im doing this wrong but i want to build the car around the engine not the other way around i have a 3 stall garage and lots of tools to work on it but im hoping that even a fraction of every ones knowlge would rub off on me

[boat-cars_are_beast]

thanks you  nd i know this is sac religious for muscle cars but is it posible to get fiber glass body panels or sum cheaper matireal ext. till i can aford it ?

[Brock Samson]

Pleased to make your acquaintance Forrest, Might I suggest you take a little more time when you post to correct your spelling/typing mistakes and add punctuation It will give you some amount of credibility around here.
Fiberglass really isn't a viable option, but getting a job (or two) as soon as possible and saving as much as you can while life is cheap and your living at home is the best you can hope for now, hang out here and read and do searches as your questions arise.

Brock is right, life is cheap when you are youg and living at your parents home.......

You need to get 2 things done : get a job asap to save cash for a car and make sure your mom pays for all the rest 
You might want to double your savings in order to get yoy a driver quality car

Hi Forrest, welcome to the charger forum. I like the idea that you have with your grandpa   . It's nice to see kids your age getting into the old classic cars like this.

I too am working on a '68 charger myself right now rebuilding it. When speak of fiberglass panels, I would really and highly recommend you going with metal panels down the line bud.
