68 Dodge Charger

[redsarrow]

I've owned a 68 Dodge Charger for 7 years now and I am finally ready to fix it up. I am looking for a good place to do some body work and paint that will do good work but won't cost me my first born.

Anyone know of a good body shop that deals with older cars (and preferrably has knowledge of Mopars)?

And, does anyone else on the forum own a charger and be willing to give a gal some good advice?

I'm a Roadrunner guy, but hey... a B-body is a B-body.

What are you looking to have done to the Charger? How bad is the cancer in the fenders and quarters? Are you looking to upgrade the drivetrain?

I'm picking up a 73 Roadrunner in Virginia next month, and it has a 318/727A drivetrain that I'm upgrading to a 440/727B drivetrain. Then I'm having custom seat covers made by Legendary Interiors, and then painting it black with custom white/gold striping to honor my Pittsburgh heritage.

Anyway... post some details of what you plan to do to the Charger and I'll try to point you in a good, and cheaper, direction.

Nostalgia.

I had a 1966 Charger with a 426 Hemi. Wish I still had it. Pulled the engine and put it in a Howard ski boat; would do 100 MPH. Put a 383 in the '66 and traded it on a '68 Charger R/T with a 440 Magnum. The '68 was traded on a '70 Challenger R/T 440 Magnum.

Sigh. Those were the days. Thirty cent Super Shell, lots of horsepower, suregrip diffs, and big tires.
