My 1969 Dodge Charger R/T

I have been restoring a 1969 Dodge Charger R/T for 28 months now and have spent waaaayyyy too much money on it but I love the damn thing. You can see the website I put up about the car here with lots of pictures.

Today I spent 7 hours putting the windshield wiper pivots in….twice, the first time we forgot to put the waterproofing seals on it, installing the defroster vents into the dash, and finally getting the steering column and wheel into the car.

I’m hoping to get this baby on the road by this summer, but I said that last year also. If there is one thing I have learned restoring this car, it’s patience.

Ok, enough of that, back to bashing lefties.

    If your grand kids drive as bad as your kid, you might as well send the charger to its impending destination, a scrap heep.

    I remember MIKE AMERICA SHOWING IT HERE ON THE OLD FA,
    it seems to me it did not look so nice, you where working on it then,
    but it look finish and I like the inside color, my favorite red,
    it’s your baby, you work on it and forget the bad dudes you have to deal with,
    I WILL like to have a picture of his baptize when you decide to take it on the road,
    I’m sure you won’t go on the beach with it or on the muddy roads, or you won’t eat a sushi while on the wheel, or challenge any car for a start drag to show off , nah not you, but if they challenge you,
    what are you going to do? take the risk of being arrested for driving while impair with alcohol,
    it will be so tempting hey, nah not you,
    bye
