Not quite but I decided on a slightly different direction for the car. I've been painting the individual panels, in my garage, as I have completed them. Needless to say, the car got to the point where everything was painted orange but slightly different shades. My plan was then to sand it down and repaint the entire car after I spent some time driving it and sorting out any issues. But then I decided I was having too much fun with it after 7 years sanding and painting. So I decided, what the heck, I'm going to spend a few years sorting it out before the repaint so I started to put more of it together. The stripes went on....

And I had a definate "5 footer" that ran and drove like new. sure, I'm not going to win any awards but I don't care about that. It was never my intention for this car and it sure draws lots of comments.

Great choice you made, definitely more fun driving them than looking at them. The car looks awesome, you did a wonderful job.

But my main goal was to attend the 2010 Chrysler's at Carlisle show as 2010 was the 40th anniversary of the 70 Challenger and Barry Washington and the Challenger T/A registry were putting together a special meet. i wanted to be there as I've owned T/As since 1979 and how could i go without the T/A? I was nervous, would it make it? But my buddy Brian helped me work out the last few issues and in early July my son Greg, Brian, and I headed to Carlisle for the event. We made it and had a blast!!! I have much more to do but I think I'll enjoy the car for a few more years before that new paint job.

I think that it's great you are finally able to drive it some. Looks good and I had saved one your pics for my desktop pic.

Very inspirational Jeff, the car looks great. I haven't driven my Charger since '92 and am in the process of stripping the paint off. I like the idea of driving it while working on it. Keep up the good work.

I have a few good pics of this car Burnt. The first pic in your thread I took just after it burn't and they removed the drivetrain. Yes, many Corona's and trying to tune a six pack does not mix. LOL. This was a mint 13,000 original mile T/A that had a built 440 Six Pack. It was real clean. I am glad it was saved. I had a 71 340 Duster 4 speed that burnt but it was too bad. Saved the drivetrain but that was it. Car looks awesome great job.

235/60-15, 255/60-15 BFGR T/A. I'm happy with the look as well but I do like the original Polyglas, maybe someday.

I have a soft spot for the T/A's, and now seeing yours and the thread for MasterShake's T/A makes me wanna sell the Cuda and go T/A shopping!

Keep up the good work! and congrats!
