Hemi Charger
« on: February 12, 2007 - 06:20:42 AM »
Last week I bought a 4 speed 68 Hemi Charger. I'm not going to to do a total resto on her, but am going to give her a lot of TLC. Here is a pic the engine after a couple of hours wiping it down. I will post more pics later as the work progresses. I'm waitng on  numerous parts that I bought from various vendors, like a complete exhaust system, gas tank, shocks, hoses, carpet, and numerous other items. My paintless dent guy is commingover this afternoon, because the car has about 20-30 minor dents in her. I'm also going to do some minor paint work on it.
