I appreciate the input with the single vs 2 stage paint. After reading your comment, I did some research on both type of coatings and there aren't any businesses that perform those coatings here in the pnw. Though there is a guy locally who does soda blasting and offers epoxy primer. Thanks for...

Great to know with the dipping. Not even sure if there is anyone in the area that even does Ecoating. Thanks for the input on the paint as well.

That is absolutely beautiful with the white interior. Thank you for sharing.

Good morning. That would be absolutely amazing and greatly appreciated! I never realized how many local Mopar guys there are around here. I will definitely take you up on that offer whenever time allows on your end. Thank you

I didn't even think about asking someone to drive one. Ill have to make some local connections and at the least take a ride in one. Great to know about the sway bar links. The car is about as original as it gets. Everything is there body wise and most of the interior. It runs and drives ok but...

Absolutely beautiful! Did you do the body and paint yourself? If not, may I ask who you used? I'm down in Newberg and I have heard of leonards blasting. Thats one thing I need to keep an eye on is a rotisserie. I have the capabilities to fab one up but I don't really want to spend my time on...

Holy smokes! I applaud the dedication to getting that car back on the road! Do you have any photos of it before you started?

Once I get my K5 out of the shop in the next week or so. Ill post some good photos of the Charger.

Quite contradicting on my end there. Well I have never driven one of these vehicles before. While I was thinking about it, there may be others here that obviously have and may say otherwise. So I guess I would possibly leave the door open to aftermarket if it makes sense. It is an R/T Charger...

Good to know. I appreciate your help!

I haven't dug too far yet. But from what I can see it'll be both rear quarters, trunk and possibly rear frame rails. I like what you're saying about blasting as you go. What type of media were you using? TIA

Beautiful! Did you do all the work yourself? Unfortunately the entire car will need to be repainted.

I would say pretty minimal. Mainly surface rust where the vinyl top was and the underside of the floor boards. Trunk, sides and maybe rear frame rails need to be replaced.

Thank you for the insight Eric. I will definitely take a look at your garage and that YouTube page. Ill have to remember what TLC really means haha

I'm planning on starting the restoration on my 68 charger r/t this next year. I attached the fender tag and do have the broadcast sheet. I plan on keeping this as stock as possible, as if it rolled off the assembly line. It will be used as a cruiser, local car meets and shows, nothing crazy...
