Greetings!

[Rook]

Hi Folks - my names Paul. Just picked up my first classic car project, 68 Charger.
I'm learning as I go, working with a realistic budget and taking a thoughtful approach to the build.

Really looking forward to picking up tips, sharing progress, and connecting with others who’ve been down this road. Appreciate any advice and guidance — especially when it comes to metalwork and early-stage planning.

I'll open up a build thread shortly to provide some more insights into the car.

Thanks!

Paul

Welcome. If you don’t have the front end parts, get your wallet. Not for $$$, but for credentials to start the process to RE-MORTGAGE the house.

Welcome to FBBO fromNorCal Sierras, Toulumne Co.

better save your pennies, have a decent saving, it's gonna be pricey
but worth it hopefully when done,
they fetch high prices today, astronomical in some cases
when done right

a Resto-Mod (serious day 2 car) done professionally
Tastefully done, there's some that have gody interiors & fugly wheel tire combos too
many times thye bring more value than, a 100% OE resto too
todays buyers wants their cake & be able to eat it/drive it too
or
do an accurate 100% OE restoration with all #s matching

hope you got a lot of parts with it, it will $100 to $1,000+ you to death
if you don't have all the lil' parts & trim or interior, gauges, grill, year specific pieces etc.
shipping alone today will break many projects budgets

WELCOME.
