Its been a really long journey with more time, money, love, time, money, money, money, money, time.....poured into the car.

Had a bad accident in the middle of it and almost lost my leg (side of barn fell on me and crushed me).

Im sure you seen me whining about DVAP Desert Valley Auto Parts but it is what it is. Finally in paint.

Still needs cut and buffed but here she is. Cant wait to get it out in the sunlight cut and buffed.

Dan

Well, she is still not cut and buffed and maybe its just the little girl in me, but I am giggly:

LOL and so not only will it be a "different" mopar at the car show or as my mopar buddy calls them "the LESS beautiful mopar" but it will also not be white, red or black as 99% of these "less beautiful" mopars are....when you see them.......

I love them and think the are the BEST looking mopar but then again, Im biased.

Funny that you say that,cause i was thinking the exact same thing.Maybe even put a trailer hitch on for a trailer for the rest of the colors.
 
Looks great man!! Sure hope that leg gets better! Having this looking like this should help you forget some.. Easy to say i know and i hope you do show us when its complete.. Im a little of the same but with me its i love them all, i cant think of any Mopar i don't like for any particular reason lol, My first one was the 67 Charger. Good luck to you!
 
court that is a fine looking job your doing and a very nice charger those years where sharpe looking , take care of your self ,we`ll all be here waiting as you post up photos of your work in process goes :headbang::headbang:
 
Thanks everyone for the nice compliments and motivation!

I havent really got a name for her yet. The factory color that I stuck with even tho many many many folks were giving me crap about it (all in a laughable matter) is KK1 or atleast the closest modern water based mix you can get to it? lol

I still havent picked a name for her.

Her original california, black plates that are still on her read VVU 096 so maybe thatll help me figure something out.....

Ill keep you all posted.

Dan
 
Well I got it home guys. Its a crap load nicer than factory paint and higher gloss but what the hell looks close to KK1:

Looks good. Can't go wrong with the factory color.

Way too many Red, yellow, black and lime greens out there now.
