Well here's the 68 Charger my son and i brought home a couple of years ago from Minnesota. We are across the Mississippi river in Lacross Wisconsin moving some of the parts foward into the van and airing up the tires for the long ride back to St. Louis . It rained the whole way back !
This is a real solid car that came out of Georgia . Was a 318 car but i have a 440 ,machine work done , 60 over, freeze plugs and cam bbearings installed ready for some new pistons . Build it the way you want it . Going to sell this project as i need the garage space .
Well some good ole boys from De Soto Mo. bought the 68 Charger !
Hope the have some fun with it.

Here we dropped the 66 on the frame right after we slammed the 70 chevelle on the frame . We did these both after lunch one day . In the trailor is a 69 L88 corvette i was stripping the paint off of that came out of Omaha . As we were dropping the bodies the gentleman we are building the big block chevelle for pulled up in the Z28 with the 2002 corvette motor . I just lkie this picture with the red 64 in the background !

This is my favorite 1967 Corvette coupe 427 435 hp to come through the shop !




This 67 came through about a year ago .It came in green and we did a frame off and changed the color back to it's orininal lyndale blue in about 4 months time . It was a nice paint job and it was hard to strip as i remember . It's back in to get a few things fixed and another buffing to get it ready for thr Blommington car show at the end of the month . I just always thought this lyndale color with the white stinger hood looked exceptional and the white seats with the contrasting black carpet was just beautiful. Yep, after all the vetts we've built here this is my favorite.Maybe i can find some of the pictures of this car when it was over at the St. Louis car museum last year . They were just beautiful .......................Mopargrovis
