We drove my son Mustang home to day after 2 ½ year restoration so I took a few picture with my Charger which will I will start the restoration next fall.
















Sorry if anyone was offended with a Mustang on this forum but I think a Bullitt clone with a Black 68 Charger is the exception.
Thanks!

Great pics. Nice to see the two together. I've got the Charger and am thinking of getting the Mustang for the wife.   :2thumbs:


Tomorrow is promised to no one.......drive your Charger today.

Awesome pics!, that's my 2 favorite cars. My next build will probably be a mustang fastback.  :2thumbs:

I sure would love to have a fastback Mustang like that one, thanks for posting them.

um... why are you doing a restoration? it looks perfectly fine, if you want to restore one, I will trade you my 70' strait across  :D


nice looking stang, congrats, you both should be proud of where the cars have got you two together!
Restoring a charger is like a saying I heard along time ago "I never said it would be easy, I only said it would be worth it".... Jesus I wish I could remember who said that...

So, was this the plan or was it fate????

When Kurt my son decided he would like to build a Bullitt replica and we found a driver 68 Mustang I started looking for another 68 Charger so we would have the pair. It took over two years to find a good body Charger to start with. Next fall I'll start the resto of a modern Bullitt Charger.
Thanks

Yea, I like that picture and I really liked that Charger. It was weird seeing it in Mopar Muscle last year, two years after I sold it. Thank You!

I'm glad you enjoyed it, I know I love working with my youngest son building it. Now I'm trying to talk my oldest into building a car together when he graduates college this year.
Thank You!

I hope your son will want to build a car with you.  Me, I helped build an airplane with my grandpa.  Best thing I ever done.  Sure, I missed out doing other things people my age were doing, but I had fun, and still have the memories. :2thumbs:
