So I am going to model this after my brothers thread on the project 71 challenger he's working on so here it is!

The Project: 68 Charger 4 speed, not sure on the motor yet

The Crew: Myself (David Sigel) my brother Stephen aka my mentor, my dad and a few friends that show up to help, and of course lots of beer

Basic info: Restore the car back to road worthy condition, make it a car that is driven and not a trailer queen. I want to make it a semi pro touring car, modern brakes, lower then factory and 17's or 18's all around


Paint: Its a long time away but I've been thinking of a few ideas, the first idea I'm thinking is to pay homage to Curtiss P-40 warhawk (im an aviation geek) with the flat green and shark painted on the side. Or silver with blue bumble bee stripes, when more of the metal work is done I'll decide

so without further ado here are the pictures, let me know what you think!

This should be great thread, your brother does some nice work. I like your helper

Awesome! I would love to have a 68 Dodge Charger project and I would pretty much do it exactly how you are doing it. I like the war hawk idea. It will definitely be pretty cool and stand out.

Looks like you're well on your way, and the car looks pretty decent to start with. The pic with the puppy dog is great.

thanks everyone,

here are a few more pictures.
Got the floor out and started mocking up the new floor, going to start drilling the holes for the new spot welds when I get back from MATS.

also got the lower door piece in thanks to my brother and dad

more pictures will be coming soon!

Am I seeing things, or is that an automatic floor pan replacing a 4 speed floor?

Alright,
