The body man and I have agreed on a deal. I am going to strip the Charger down and he will do all panel repairs and paint. Going with the original Hemi orange. It's a Charger 500 all numbers matching 383 high performance buckets console 727 car. black interior PW PB PS. AC
I removed the front of the car today. Front valance, bumper hide-a-ways, oil AC radiators, drained the cooling system battery and tray even removed the Dixie horn. I can stand 18" closer to the engine. I will be needing help later. When I say strip I don't mean paint just hardware and engine. Just had the Orig 393 rebuilt but I put it back in with its headers. I now have original exhaust manifolds and carb will be putting those on.
This is not one of those $30K restorations. This is the working man's resto and I plan on driving it a lot.
