My dad pulled me out of the mud with a chain hooked to the from bumper in 1988 when I was 19. That's what bent the bumper.   I've still got some of the parts for that car.

I'm not sure.  I think I got home around 3:30 or 4:00am this morning.   I think I'm still drunk ...............yep!  I'm still drunk.       That Hood held me and the the Dodson sisters back in 87.   

[JB400]

I think Skip is trying to prove how much of a stud he was.

[TUFCAT]

That Hood held me and the Dodson sisters back in 87.    

Skip are you sure about that?  Wasn't it the "Lee" sisters?   I remember you dated all of them... Fug, Home, and Lone

Awesome.  Give some info......

[jaak]

Its a pretty plain 68, it has a 318/904 currently in it, but VIN shows it was a factory 383-2bbl. No a/c, manual brakes, column shift/buddy seat. Body is actually in pretty good shape, found a couple of previous repairs I want to re-do. Tail panel is pretty rough, but got a new AMD tail panel, and new front valance with it. Worst part is the floor pans, It sat outside for a few years with no windshield, so the floor pans are pretty rusty, and the left side of the trunk has some rust, but nothing major. I don't think the car has ever had any collision damage, for a 45 year old car, I'm impressed with all the lines/gaps, and how the doors, trunk, etc. close

It's an XP with no fender tag, so its a blank canvas to do anything. When I start on it, I want to start by repairing the rust, and work on everything mechanical and electrical first. I think I just want to make a nice driver/cruiser out of it. Like I said it currently has a 318, I picked up a low mile factory 4 bbl 360 with a 727 trans out of a '79 Chrysler 300 back a few months ago, thinking about using that engine.

One thing for sure, when it comes time to do the interior, I want it to be white...I love white interiors, and that's what I miss most about the 73 Rallye I had, was the white interior.

How's the firewall under the dash?  Seriously, good score.

'Ya done did ok Jason. Everybody needs one of each 2nd Gen. Chargers.

[TUFCAT]

Very nice...I'm sure you'll be making it beautiful in no time! 

[Dino]

Ah a blank canvas, doesn't get any better than that.   

What are the plans for body color to set off that white interior?

[elanmars]

That's awesome!! Congrats. Would love to have a '68 next.

[jaak]

First thing, I finally cleaned up the rear part of my shop (its 40' long), so I parked the 68 long ways in the rear of my shop, so I still have the right bay open for oil changes,work on my daily drivers, side jobs, etc. Probably be spring before I start any real work on it.





New AMD front valance and tail panel I got with the car (stored on rafters for now)....
