1968 Charger restomod

[Mr. Lee]

It still needs bumpers, a full interior and a bunch of others small things, but today Skynyrd drove under its own power again since about 1984.

What a badass car. Great job Lennard

[blade]

Well, due to Chris being very busy with customer cars and me being very busy with working... my car isn't finished in 2020 like I had planned.
I picked it up, parked it in my garage and I'll work on it whenever I have time.

Alignment, a/c charged, stereo hooked up, 3 point seatbelts installed, full interior installed, bumpers installed, etc.

[Dickdale]

that's one week of work!

[blade]

that's one week of work!

Sure, but it's my hobby.... not my job.
I bought a house on a soccer field size property a year ago and I'm planting trees in my yard, pouring concrete sidewalks, etc. next to my full time job and working on my cars.

Mesh installed inside the hood scoop and fiberglass bumper mounted onto the custom made aluminum bumper brackets.

[Ed]

Do you paint the bumper black?
Corners looks a bit skinny.

[blade]

The bumpers are painted silver. They are fiberglass, and not an exact copy of the real thing.
I might just put new steel bumpers on it when it's starting to bother me.

[blade]

Well, the look of the fiberglass bumpers started to bother me... so I bought new steel ones.

[Ed]

sorry lenard shouldn't have brought it up. this looks much better don’t you think.

You were and are 100% right Ed, this looks way better.

En die paar kilo's extra trekt het wagentje denk ik toch wel

Well... I wasn't sure about that.
So I did use the aluminum bumper brackets, just in case.

ja grappig!
En anders weer gaten boren in de steunen om gewicht te sparen zeker

[blade]

No, that might make them to weak to carry the weight of the steel bumpers.

Yes, lots of small stuff to do still.

[blade]

Hooptie is done.

[jelmoer]

En nu genieten of een nieuw project op komst?

[Mr. Lee]

Dikke bak hoor!

Alleen dat stuurtje is niet mijn ding. Niet een mooi origineel woodgrain stuurtje erin?

Both, I still have my '69 R/Tse that needs to be restored.
