Flashback - Old to New

[MoparKid]

First off, Happy Fathers Day!

Hey everyone. I made a thread a few months back showing my "new" 74 charger that my dad had bought me for a birthday present. Here is a flash back with pics from when it was just bought ( with nothing much done to it ) to a nice new pain job and engine modifications.

( Note I'm not too keen with muscle cars, or any cars of that matter and I'm 16. Starting to get into the build up of these muscles and how to enhance or change performance wise. )

When it was first bought:
( Notice the cracks in the paint, few dents on the hood, vinyl top was wearing away )

Engine of when it was first bought:
( Rust pretty much everywhere, dirty as usual and unorganized looking.

Alright now here is the new look. ( Paint job and body restoration )

and this is the engine. Same engine as before, but everything has been cleaned and parts needing a replacement has been replaced. ( almost all )

Tell me what you think about the medium restoration that happened to it?
I personally like it.

Thanks a lot for reading.

cool

:headbang:Great job, it looks like you've worked very hard to clean it up. I like it, most importantly you like it so go injoy.

That's a beauty for sure! And there are plenty of "dress-ups" you can do in that engine bay as time and money allow. But for now, the clean engine goes vroom and makes the wheels turn, and that's the fun part.

You sure did a fantastic job.. Beauty it is!!

Thanks a bunch, but don't get confused I didn't do the restoration, I had a body shop do it.

Regardless, its a great job who ever did it.. The white mixed with the color is really cool looking, Any interior pictures?

i like the fact you kept the hood ornament, no one seems to do that nowadays

What body shop did the work? I am also in Texas and looking for a shop to work on a couple of projects.

Good idea. Maybe 'MoparKid' will get some new posts in his email next weekend to remind him of this place. Hope his address is the same.
