Yip, I don't want to even start another resto in the near future, This will basically be it for me for a l-o-n-g time.  :grinyes: ;)

But it's going to be cool taking some snaps because the remake of Vanishing Point had these two cars in it.  :D

Toooooo much!! If I had known the cost at the beginning there is NO WAY on earth I would have bought the Challenger.
But, you live and learn and it's miles too late now to turn back.  ;) She sure will be pretty. Yip everything done professionally. EVERYTHING.


Do you think the Chargers interior looks OK? Rate it out of ten....

Yeah I'd give it a 7 at the moment. Basically the same opinion as you. But you failed to notice the headlinner in the right rear is not properly installed and is "hanging". The Dash is the main fix but the guy told me that straight from the start and he said there is some work needed to the interior only, oh I lie the exterior only needs (maybe) new wheel trim moldings and maybe some new door handles apart from that shes as good and solid as gold.  :drool: She looks nice in the photos but so do onoline dating chicks.......... :laughing: :eeksmall: :puke: :outtahere:

The best thing the car needs nothing major (hopefully)  ::)

# Engine/Trans were rebuilt 3 months ago.
# Paint and Vinly Top are new and redone 3 months ago.
# Carpet, seats and headlinner all recovered.


Basically just minor parts most of which do not have to be done any time soon, just when I'm free or bored.  ;D
