Great looking, sinister black Charger R/T, nothing more intimidating in the rear view mirror. :aarg:

I am so envious of you guys that can do great body work....one thing I wish I could do myself to save money, time, and body shop hassles, lies, cut corners...all that jazz.

I don't buy that statement guy...You get tired of getting taken advantage of enough times and you'll learn..books, school, even a buddy to teach you , you can always learn....

messn' with the alternator made the clock start workin'...      :ylsuper:          AMEN CooTer !  :drunk:

Shhhh,,,....   We've been cruizn' it around at night...  :aarg:       

New plates!, mesh behind front valence. Finished the carpet/sills, Oh, some free seats!(Just for now).  We are going to re-wrap the some interior pieces and door skins to save some coin and close up the majority of the interior. Might check the junkyard for a new rear seat. or a cheap cover. Wrap the package tray again.   been tuning and timing the new carb. new jets. little things...  Headlights...Ect... But they all add up.   Thanks for all the inspiration around here!

Goin' for a cruize!!    :bigsmile:       Seeing it roll always brings a smile to my face. And...it's starting to sink in now...
I own a black 69' Charger! :screwy:
I'd gladly do bodywork over electrical. Any day. It's easy really...All it takes is time.  And I like seeing how good I can get it.  This might be hard to believe...But this is my first real car. My first real spray job,Learned to cut/buff. I'm just starting on this journey. Lot's of people ask for paint. So we are going to start doing it on the side. But only at a high level. You think that's nice...You should see our kitchens and baths. Steamshowers,you name it. Now we're turning our sights at custom rides. Being an artist/musician type. It's all the same.    There is only one level. Either it's there or not. Have any of you ever seen a perfect car? I havn't. But my cuda is going to be close.

L8R...    I'm cruzin'    :burnout:    Have a great weekend all!! :wave:  R/T

We are still debating wheels. It's too hard,Prolly magnums w/ white letters.   Getting the stainless done. Interior stuff$$. She's hibernating. :bigsmile: I did drive her about two weeks ago. Found a big grin on my face...

I agree not an easy call on the stripe.  Red will be sharp and most eye catching.  No stripe will be more sinister looking but not as flashy.  Flat black stripe is a cool look but almost invisible.  In any case, it already looks great, doesn't get much better than Gen II Charger for sheet metal!
