ive finally got my dream car

[smb03]

since i was a kid ive always wanted a 68 r/t charger, just the meanest looking car in my opinion. i went up to central cali to buy a 68 base model shell and came home with 3 68 chargers after finding 2 in a relatives wrecking yard. one being a 68 r/t 440. so of course im building the r/t first haha.
even on its 500 mile journey i had to stop for food once and a guy asked if it was for sale, "nope, just bought her" haha.
well anyway she's up and stripped already so it can go to blasting. although this car is probly going to take a year cuz its not a money making car, gonna be my personal one.

the bad:
trunk pan rust
lower 1/4 rust
rear valance rust
driver front frame rail bent up 1"
grill destroyed
driver fender destroyed
