71 sixpack....off to the bodyshop (finally)!!!!

[Hemidoug]

Well, after waiting 2 years, and getting 8 inches of snow the day before, I thought this day would never come. The snow on Friday really put a damper on getting the 71 out to the bodyshop this weekend.



I knew I’d never get the car trailer out of my backyard with all the white stuff on the ground so I started to look for other options. It wasn’t until my next door neighbor stepped up and volunteered to use his enclosed trailer to help out. We had to unload his modified first, but if it wasn’t for him I would have been SOL for the weekend!



Even though she hasn’t been out of the garage in a long time, she still looks good!



Snug as a bug in a rug! That’s my good friend Scott on the left and Mike my next door neighbor on the right. Mike…you’re a lifesaver!!!!



She’s here, after a 2 year wait! Next time I see her, she will be back to her original color…F7.



Her new home until the spring!

 It looks real clean,is it more or less for  a color change??

[Hemidoug]

There are some "issues" with some rot in the wheelwells and trunk floor, as well as a desire to return her back to her original color.

Yoo, Doug... She looks great there......

But, I have to ask, why is she so high? Those rear springs look like SuperStock.......... 

Man, she's going to be a beauty....... What's the original color anyways?

[Hemidoug]

This is the color she should be.....

[Charger_Fan]

Looks better red.

Just kidding, that looks like a very nice project! It's great that you've got good, willing neighbors.

No, that is a picture of one just like it. Same color except for vinyl roof and rubber bumpers.

Imagine that.. the gift that still keeps giving.. I'm glad Whitey is helping others....... Don't forget the blacked out treatment on the pitch welds on the rockers and hood leading edge.......  I look forward to the pics............

Hey Doug how's it going?   Looks good to me!

I look forward to finally seeing the sixpack car.  I was getting bored of Mr. Hemi! 

Which one will be going to Carlisle this year?

[greenpigs]

Another green Charger,hell, red will be the oddball color soon if this keeps up.

[RT DAVE]

it will be nice in it's original color.

I love to see original/copies of the window sticker to see the differences in list price. For comparison my 71 SE came to $4,864 vs. your R/T at $4.571 and my base was $3,422 vs. your R/T at $3,750. And the 383 Magnum option was $144 vs $125 for the 440 six pack. Mine came with air ($388), auto ($237) & the A04 Radio Group ($204) to put me over the top. Wanna compare values now?   

[ScottW]

Oh, I forgot to mention I can't wait to see it when it turns GREEN! 

[chargerkid]

Nicely optioned car!  I have a FE5 that is a Norm's Spaulding car too.

[Carlwalski]

Good stuff!! The journey down hill has now commenced.

Looking forward to progress pics Doug.
