THE CHARGER PUNK

thats 1 of the best 68's ive ever seen-MATT

Thanks guys.  I'll try to get additional pics tomorrow
.RECHRGD: Thanks for the offer but I need more info on the travel trailer.  Do you think me ,the wife and 2 kids could live in it?  I think I'm going to have to sell  the house before I finish this car. Is the pull out sofa tweed or velour?  Willl the shower fit two cause I like the wife to wash my back?.
SHAKEY: Actually I make the kids do all the paint stripping and sand blasting.  One is 8 and the other is 11.  when they behave I actually let them scrape undercoating!!!   Just kidding. Yes I do everything but the alignment. It usually takes me about 6 months start to finish for a full rotisoire.  I started this one in Feb. and should be done next month. This was my first hemi clone so a little extra time with the conversion.  Plus the car was originally a automatic and now is a 4 speed.  I drive them for about 2 or 3 months then sell and start the next. Maybe with the procedes from this car I can find a real hemi to resto. 6 months sounds quick for a full resto but I work on them from about 7 AM to 11 PM. I do actually have a full time job but my schedule permits me 14 days out of the month off.
4402TUFF4U: Its a vinyl top. It had just finished raining when I took these pics so the lighting was not the greatest.  I'll take some close ups tomorrow.
Thanks again for all the support.  Mike

:haha:  My oldest child is only 2.5 and she doesn't know it yet, but she will learn to shovel snow this winter.   :yesnod:

You're fortunate to be able to work on the car that much.  I only see mine on weekends which is why it is taking so f'ing long to complete.  That and the fact that my Wife thinks we need to spend money on food, clothing and silly things like utilities and fuel for the car to get to work.   :eyes:

Looks like you've done a great job.   :thumbs:

Hmmmmmm,  sounds so familiar, working on the car only on weekends and that's not true in my house lately!! Always something else to do and the poor Charger sits there unfinished! Soooo close, but yet so far! :'(
