    Thanks guys...  I worked hard and I know it isn't perfect, but hey, it's mine!!!  I am quite pleased with the end result. As for the pics, my girlfriend is a professional photographer, so she should get the credit for those pics.

    Thanks once again

    Hi everyone and thanks a lot for all the nice comments. Had a couple of rides with the Chally and it really gives a nice ride. Still not perfect, but I really like it. A/C is really nicecon a hot day. Went to a couple of shows and had positive comments there as well. I also would to say to all of you restoring a car right now, keep working hard and your work will pay off. Sometimes, it is really though and you feel you will never finish, but you will if you keep going. And there is a lot of nice guys, (and girls) here that are always ready to help. I gave a few tips and I got some tips too. That's the beaty of the Mopar guys: helping each other. Anyway, my girlfriend took a couple more shots of my Chally and I thought some of you would like to see, so, here are the pics.

    great thread and beautiful car! glad you made it your way. I like the way you were graceful in regards to the unsolicited advice about the color. some people mean well but stick their nose and opinion in where they don't belong. the car is a stunner, enjoy it!

    Some people give their opinion and I have no problem with that. But in the end, I built it the way I wanted. Again, if the car would have been a Hemi or Six pack car, I would have respected the built sheet, but it is only a 383 car that most people don't care too much about. The other point is, I didn't order this car when new and it didn't reflected my choice/ personality. The option I added (or changed) are ok for the year and model. Still look like a factory car, even though I made about ten changes. Headers, chrome valve covers and mags are not for me. I like when it looks factory. Some may like my car and some may not and again, that's fine. bb71Challenger, you seem to have a nice project on the way. Can't wait to see the progress...  Thanks everyone. Mopar guys are the best!

    Wow! Never thought of that!  There are so many great cars on this site that I simply didn't think was beautiful enough to qualify for the calendar. Not exactly sure where to send those pics for the calendar...

    Thanks
