You should make it a magnet and stick it on the door. It would be so.....ironic. LOL

I had Mopar Leo rebuild my door hinges and Resto Rick rebuild my hood hinges. Both guys did fantastic work.

They were all black from the factory. If you see them body color it's just personal preference

Congrats on the Charger. Q5 and white is a great combo. Here is one in that combo that was local to me. Car has since been finished and sold...

International Paint Stripping Inc. 15300 Oakwood Dr. Romulus, MI 48174 734-942-0500 We had the Charger shell dipped and e coated there

I just so happened to see a post on Facebook where someone posted a picture of them sitting at their door step. I called Kelsey Tire that day and they were shipped that evening.

Thanks Pat, it's a shame that they went out of business a few months ago...

Will do, thank you

Paul's did a great job on the chrome, the original bumpers look great. The car is going to have a slight Day Two look to it. We are going to be running redlines and magnums most of the time but will switch out the wheels with a set of Cragars and F-60 and L-60 Polyglas Goodyear's. The tires...

As I was sanding the body, I was also picking away at some other parts as well. We had Paul's Chrome rechrome everything as well as polish all of the trim. We got that stuff back so I was able to finish the grill and assemble the vent windows. All glass is new date coded pieces from ECS.

I'm in no hurry at all. I'll also be at Carlisle and the Nationals

Are those original to the car? I'd love to find a set of those for my '68

Man I wish I was closer. I'm looking for a set of early '68 date coded 906 heads. I'm sure shipping would be a killer...

Just turned 41 last month. Pops was a Chevy guy. His dad worked for GM and my mom's dad worked for Ford. So me becoming a Mopar guy definitely wasn't from family influence. It started with Dukes of Hazzard like many guys. It naturally started with '69 Chargers, then evolved to '68-'70 Chargers...
