Leon is my spiritual advisor on bodywork  Yes....it is expensive. If I ever did one again I "might" not be so anal....drives up the cost when you nitpick over details no one will ever see. But you know. |

I'm sitting here thinking. Tapping the mouse key. Minutes go by. I'm writing this. Starting and stopping. Staring at the screen not sure what to do but what the hell. I know we don't see eye to eye most times but that sir, is a job WELL DONE and a great inspiration and motivation to me and I'm sure to many others. Kudos!

Wow! Don, I can almost picture all the bit being pulled onto the assembly line and bolted on as the car goes down the line. Very nice job!

Looking great Don!! Too bad I couldn't meet up with you guys a few weeks ago, I would have loved to exchange info with you. I'd also like to ask you where you got the car dipped, and where you are getting the major body & paintwork done. Maybe we could set up another night at Hero's with Shakey!! Once again, nice job!! Dan.  |

1969 Charger RT/SE - I remember standing in the Dodge showroom in 1969 drooling over the new Charger. My parents bought a Chevelle next door at the Chevy dealer. ( still getting consoling over that ) Wanna trade your car? My new site: http://www.CARSNOTFORSALE.com A big thank you to my wife, for posting for me when I'm not home to do so. Thanks, honey. |

Dan. cheers Dan, the car was dipped in Brantford...don't recall the outfit off hand. The shop is in Flamborough near the Speedway but he isn't taking any more restorations right now as he is booked for awhile. Right now my Charger and a Mustang are the main events in the shop but I popped by last week and found a Firebird there for a quick in & out. |

Hey Don
Your Car looks fantastic, seeing yours is really getting me stoked to see mine completed. Keep an eye on my thread for updates as I am hopeful to have it completed for Carlisle!
