I hope Mr. None doesn’t come to Carlisle;-)
Thank You!!
Pat

Almost ready for Carlisle. Last polish and ready for ceramic coating. A few details left but I did make my own 6 speed Inland shifter knob out of a 4 speed knob. I was unable to find a engraver that could engrave on a curve So I used number stamps and hand carving the new shape. Looks good from arms lengths;-)
Thanks
Pat

Very cool!Great craftsmanship!

The car looks sweet Pat. You should be proud of how well it turned out. Have fun at Carlisle!

I hope you are going to Carlisle? I’m talking Alex into taking your/his old Challenge for the 1st time!
Thank you and happy 4th!!

Sorry I won't be able to see it there this year due to conflict. Hopefully next year. Had intake to head coolant leak for a couple of years so car was not road worthy of any type of trip. Finally got around to fixing it over the winter. Been up to Markets at Shrewsbury twice this year. Anyway, Charger looks fabulous hope everyone has a great time at Carlisle this year.

Found some vinyl covered trunk storage boxes ($18.00 ea) that fit nicely on either side of the trunk. Made some plastic cleats to hold them in place, yet easily removed. And some 2” foam, cut outs to hold things in place. The box under the fuel fill is where my tire plug kit is, you need to remove the aft box to access tire kit. Now my tools, cleaning gear, rags and air pump with plug kit are neatly stored in stock looking the truck.
Thanks
Pat

Nice trunk storage Pat! Those were a great find and excellent proportions.

I plan on being at Carlisle on Saturday and am looking forward to seeing the car in person!

Larry, cool look forward to meeting you! I think I’ll be in building T or Y not sure which one yet?
Thanks
Pat

Pat - I spied your car for quite a bit this morning in Building T but could not find you. Car is fantastic! Hope to met you one day and hear that beast on the open road!

Now that this one is behind you, what's next?

It all looks great! Congrats on your success with the car. Sooooo many tiny details on this build.

Glad I got to watch the(years long) show.

Thanks so much for sharing this with us.

Shawn,
Thank you for your kind words and for checking out the build!
Pat

Larry,
I’m sorry I missed you! Next car will be a late 30s or 40s vintage woody that I will build with/for my wife.
A very similar build with an old looking wagon inside and out with modern running gear.
Thank you and again I’m sorry I missed you!
Pat

Pat - make sure the 30-40's project is a mopar so you can post it here! If not, let us know where to watch!

Carlisle served as a great motivation target to finish this car! After the show we had a magazine shoot! The show was fun, but glad that it’s over and even happier to get home with no problems!
Thanks
Pat

Couldn't make it as a prior commitment got in the way. The car looks over the top fantastic. Great job! Maybe I will see it locally in the future around here. Congratulations!

An amazing car. Looks like it had a great first outing at Carlisle!

Saw her at Carlisle... Amazing!! Your craftsmanship and attention to detail are quite impressive to say the least. I tip my hat to you, Sir.

Excellence from beginning to end, thanks for sharing your restoration with us!!

Amazing build! Normally I cringe when people start messing around trying to make a better 68-70 Charger than the factory did, but this one was done right 100%.

Now that the 1st one is done when does mass production start, and where do we leave our deposits? Asking for some friends.
