Removed Front Fenders

Removed front fenders, grill and headlight assembly, front brake lines, and other front end nick knacks.  Except for the front suspension, fuel line, and steering box, the front end is just about stripped.  Trying to decide if I should strip paint and rust myself or just send it to a shop to media blast it.

Charger restoration under way!

Yes folks, after owning this 1968 Dodge Charger for about 24 years, I have finally decided to restore it from the ground up.  Many details to come, but I will be using this blog to tell the story of the Charger's rebirth.

This link below is where many photos or the car's before state and dis-assembly progress will be posted:
