I had a 68 dodge charger with a 440, 375 horse, metallic blue, white roof, white interior 4 speed, 10 inch rear tires, Bitch would run. sure was fun. wish I still had her. Man I love a white interior, sounds like an awesome car.

the thinner torsion bars up front really help getting it to hook up but your handling will suffer. but heck real racing is in a strait line anyway.

Keystone Classics are.....classics. Back in high-school, a friend had a black '69 Charger with a 440 6-pack and those wheels. Ate my Judge up.

I don't see a problem with the current paint.

Forgo the vinyl top but I like the idea of the burnt orange paint.

Dave, when You wanna plant that mother to the street just run a set of Cal-tracs combined w/ the MT 12" dot street legal tire, I pick on rice grinder's w/ bumble bee mufflers when they start it. I think Ive seen a few of those youngsters on the phone to daddy beggin' for a bigger chip when they finally roll up to the next light LOL. Its a blast to give em' a whoopin' w/ 20' of 40 yr. old maw mopar sheet iron.

A 69 is ok, but a 68 is where its at... You can thank me later. Thats funny Tom, hows a 70 Hemi Cuda rub ya? Gunner How about the next best car, a 70-440 Cuda...... I'd post a pict, but don't want to steal Dave's cool thread. Hate to see the period paint lost, but it sounds like a northern salt car, looks great in the picture. Allen

Yes, I lucked into a cool "one of 488" car, but I had to sell 2 Hemi's to get it. A 57 Imperial 392 and a 1960 Sanger V drive w/'57-392 built by Mondello.....

Well guys, I just got off the phone with my paint/primer/autobody supply guy. Spent $1034.90 Aint mama gonna be proud? But that's everything I need, all my sandpaper, body fillers, glazing fillers, awesome polyester hi build surfacing primer, epoxy prime, urethane primer/sealer, my basecoat, my clear coat, misc mixing supplies like cups, sticks, spreaders etc. It's everything I need for a show quality paint job, nice stuff. So, that being considered, a thousand aint bad for what i have coming. hell I even have a new spray gun tip coming for shooting that heavy primer. Color is locked in, going with "sunburnt copper pearl metallic" gotta be good right? hell it's sunburnt, it's copper, it's pearl an metallic lol!! Now I have to place a body panel order and then my play monies will be about used up

You are pulling the engine and painting the firewall/engine bay the same color? Right? Might as well get a set of steel wheels and shoot them the same color while you are at it for later decisions.
