That’s excellent news goodie.:bananasmi  Congratulations to you and your Dad. :clapping: Keep us all posted on the events that take place each day. Try sneaking us a few pictures along the way too. :picture:

Goodie, there’s one thing that would be really cool when you get to the end of the build.  :working:  Give us all a hello here at cuda-challenger.com by looking at the camera and tugging on your ear or by giving us all a big thumbs up. :2thumbs:  If you could remember, that would be great.  :ylsuper:

Good luck to you, your Dad, his car, and your car as well.  :cheers:

I'll be posting pics of SEMA and some of his Dads car tonite.
Dinner with the boss shortly. After I get back when I have more time.

This place is over the top. Unbelieveable.

I can't wait to see his Dad's car out of the paint booth. I went there 3 times today and still not in sight.

Cool stuff Goody!!

Man I wish I could give my dad something like that!! 

Keep us posted on the air date!

Jas

Definately cool, hopefully my dad and i can run in the power tour once we move. I've only been told 'couple months' on the airdate. ill let u guys know when it will air.

Unreal, Just unreal.  That is the coolest thing I have ever heard, Mike.  I havent been on this site long, but for being the same age as me, you show great matureness (is that even a word?)  and represent the Mopar community as well as anyone can.  I really wish I could meet you, too bad youre a long ways away from me.  Take care,

Steve

Thanks, actually the car wasn't quite painted like Chip and I discussed on the show...a certain stripe I'm not too fond of was added. but can't complain  :-\

What year is the Challenger? it looks to me a 72-74? I have a 73. How did Foose and you make contact? that is a great thing you are having done. Myself, I would die to find my car missing. PLEASE Keep us posted, and dont forget the pics, maybe set up a link with Pics
Thanks for sharing this - Awesome


72, i'll post pics when its all over Friday.

Ah that would never make editing. no way, no how. too many sponsor  deals and network BS. i would if i could.  :2thumbs:

Congrats! Very cool!
They not allowing you to post pics?

When Chip said he heard about your car, did he hint as to if he would throw some parts or something your way?
