I can't help myself

Just got the car back from my painter. Had a "minor" color change along the way. Doesn't the gold shimmer in the light? Now the fun begins!!

I rolled it out into the sunlight today, I think I can check the box, "meets expectations"!

Beauty! I love it when guys do something different and unique with their cars, personalizing them instead of just restoring them back to original. Love the unique 'bee stripe and the super-dark paint that shimmers in the sun. I did the same thing with my '70 and Jet Green Metallic paint.

trial fitted the engine cover today, not sure what the accent colors will be.
Mounted the remote electric brake booster module, it s kind of different!

So here is the teaser!!!
Next week the Charger has its coming out party at the GNRS. Pictures of course will follow. If you're there, stop by and say hello, I'm the guy on the scooter with the huge f@cking grin on my face!!
Oh, and my Dart will be there outside too

 

[retroron]

Well I'm on my way to Pomona for the GNRS, see you there!!

 

[Coelacanth]

Enjoy the...er...drive.

 

[khryslerkid]

Have FUN, take pictures, and thank GOD that you weren't forced to sell your car like I was...

 

[retroron]

From the GNRS.

 

[retroron]

Not bad for just a no name guy!! Charger was second in class, awarded best paint and best engine. Hope I talked to some of you at the GNRS I was around the car all 4 days.
And to make it even sweeter Modern Rodding wants to do photo shoot of my Dart!!

Nice. I have a subscription to Modern Rodding. Great magazine, way better than where they were working before. I'll be watching.

Love the car and so much about it.
Please forgive me for being compelled to say I don't like the wheels but I appreciate their unique appearance and construction.

Thanks for the kind words. That's OK about the wheels, I didn't like them at first. But if you see the car in real life I'll bet you change your mind.

Back in 78 I liked the "5 spoke" style of the factory magnum wheels, and I didn't really care for Rallye wheels.
BUT
In 2011 from the factory Rallye wheels that were on my 70 Roadrunner when I got it to the 8" front, 9" wide rear 17" Year One aluminum Rallye wheels I bought, I couldn't imagine any other style I liked that even came close to the Rallye style! LOL

The wheels look too much like hubcaps, which definitely lessens the "badassness". But your Charger is immaculate.
