I am jealous,but very happy for you also.I always have wanted a 68 Charger.Please keep us up to date on that one,Time to watch the movie Bullit again.

[cudahob]

Thanks MC, having 2 projects is a hand full, but I think I can get them done.

Seems a little over whelming right now, I just have to keep breathing.

  When I wake up tomorrow, I'll know what I've done, just can't think right now.

[6packCuda]

   Congrats Cudahob. Looks like you got a hell of a deal. Looks like a solid car. Why can't I find deals like that.

[RusTy/SE]

Sweet cudahob

I think we've all been there

It already looks beautiful.  Throw me in with the Clown.  '68 charger I actually like just as much as my challenger, but dont tell anyone.   

Black/Black is awesome too 

[cudahob]

Thanks guys. 

Just cleaning it out now; it has 2 new 1/4 new floor pans and trunk pan.
With alittle more massaging I could get it painted. The frame is super solid and primed.

With black cars though, it would need a pro to get the paint right.

[Topcat]

What a sweet car that will be.  Black on black Charger 68 is one of my top of the list Mopars. Nice score.   

[Carlwalski]

Bastard!    Nice score mate, as you'd know I was looking for something along those lines a year back. Very nice score mate. Can't wait for that bad boy to be done. Once complete we'll go to the canyons and reenact the VP2 scene  - [BEAST] vs [OA5599]  Just keep an eye out for any hillbillies in a pick up.


 

[71challengher]

Congrats.

[4Cruizn]

Nice job!  I hope it comes with most of the parts to put it back together!     Gonna be sweet!  

[Oldschool]

Congrats on the pick up!        It looks good now, but it's gonna be awesome when you are done.  Keep us posted as you move her along....          

[cudahob]

Thanks guys. I didn't get much sleep last night, but all's good. 
It happend so fast, I had no idea I was buying it.

NZ "it takes a MoPar to catch a MoPar." 

"I'm looking for that white Challenger, you got the law coming after you boy!" 

I'm going to put black steel wheels on it too, 15x7 red lines. It will be the blackest Charger you'd ever see.

  You'll need some coke bottle thick glasses, driving gloves and a thug next to you. 
Sounds awesome mate, I'm very jealous! I'd go for non-redline BFG's though, just my taste. But you'd have a nice bullitt replica.

congrats Cudahob, now you will be working twice as hard with two mopars under the resto.
