Wow!  You do some incredible work!

I love all the customs you do!  Very unique!  It's sort of like kit bashing for model cars but you do it for real.

I really like the Challenger wagon!  I've seen it here and there on the net and always thought it was a very clean build up.  I love the vista wagon moon light.  When I was little, one of my cub scout leaders had one of those wagons and the view at night was cool with the tinted glass.  You did a ton of work on that car!  It came out great!

There was another Challenger wagon I saw on the net, ever see it?  It was made from a '70 Challenger and a Dodge Monaco wagon.  I like yours better as it looks smaller, less boaty.  It was for sale a while a go, possible in Canada.



The 4x4 Charger is cool!  Reminds me of a car on cardomain.com, but Gordon's is a 4x4 Challenger.  He saved it from the scrapper and gave it new life.  He's a pretty cool guy.  Makes 'em and runs 'em!

Wow, what a collection! First time I've seen a Challenger wagon! I love that GTO convertible, and your Joe Dirt Superbird.

I've seen your Challenger wagon up at Myras a few times. I feel better about it knowing the history, I am glad you told us that. I was always afraid that you took a good Ebody and did that to it. But Kudos to you for taking the time and effort to finish it, most guys would have just scavaged parts off of it and trashed the rest of it.
The 4x4 Charger has an interesting history too.  I just always cringe when I think of someone taking a good looking running car and chopping them into works of art. I do like the Camaro and Pontiac though, those are good looking machines.

Is that a real Baldwin Motion car or just done up to look like one?  It's a mean looking car!  :thumbsup:
