My car is finally certified and road legal  :rock: :rock: :rock:

Did not want to say anything in case I jinxed it

The car ended up at the shop over the weekend which I think was the hardest part cause I found I had some spare time on my hands but no car to tinker with

Drove it home from the shop (about 15 miles) with my wife behind me in the truck (just to be sure )
Turned it off and started it again just to see and it started ,one hurdle down lots more to go

So after supper (and before I would need headlights) I went and got my first gas
New tank but never had it full before so wanted to see if any leaks
Perfect no leaks second hurdle down  :thumbs up:

Lots and lots to do and the pictures make it look better than it really is but now I do have a Charger on the road before the end of summer (I call summer over when the kids go back to school)

I got the idea for the last picture from myk's picture  :2thumbs:

The 70 is a true R/T that has a newer 440 in it for now
It is a factory FJ5 car that will be that colour again after all the bugs are worked out (I do not feel bad working around the paint it has now with any little scratches it may get)

Congrats on getting her mobile  :2thumbs:

We were out for a cruise last w/e and saw a car just like yours in the Rice Lake area sitting outside a shop....maybe the same car ?  :scratchchin:

It looked good from the road  :scope:  and we all took notice   :drool5:
