Hi Everyone,
I guess its about time that I share my project. I purchased this car 8-9 years ago while working for Best of Show Coachworks in San Marcos CA. The original plan i had was that I was going to Daily Drive and fix up the car to flip. Well here we are 9 years later and I still own it and I'm still working on it. Like others, My progress on the car slowed to a crawl after I met my wife, moved to Ferndale, Wa and had kids and businesses to take care of first. While in CA, I did D/D the car for about 2 years until we moved up here. I had installed a newly rebuilt 468 BBC, TH400 Trans with a 2500 stall converter, replace the 10 bolt with a 12bolt filled with a Detroit Truetrac and 3.73 gears. Also installed new Vintage wheelworks wheels and Nitto tires, along with a complete suspension, steering, and big brake kit from CPP. Over the past couple of years I have completely gone through every nut and bolt on the newly blasted and painted chassis. Installed New Ni-Copp fuel and brake lines. On the body, all the body work has been done and I've installed new floor pans, bumper filler panel, and new passenger side fender. This weekend I sprayed down what should be the last coat of High build primer before paint. The color is going to be the new Mopar F8 Green on the new Chargers and Challengers. I recently acquired a set of like new Recaro seats I'm stoked about. My intention is to keep progress and pictures posted and updated to keep me moving along. The rendering was done by my old friend Michael Castilione.
