Father and Son project

[HemiPar]

The car is looking great. Our plan was a father/son project. But not long after we started he joined the Army. He is in Afgan now then back to TX. The car will be done before he gets out.
Now he has an 09 Challenger. So when he does come home we are installing a super charger to the 5.7 hemi, so a new son/father project.
Good luck on finishing your project....

Beautiful job on your Dart thus far. Are you going with a Bumblebee tail stripe on it, or some other route/appearance?

Man that looks great. Must be proud of your son. My GTS is factory white and going to be painted that way.

Sweet-love 2-dr sedans, the 'cheaper' looking (ie lower price line cars), all-business vehicles from Mopar during this era.

You are fortunate that your son shares your interest in cars...... YOu guys have done very nice work, my hat's off to you both. It's cool to see in the pix of you both working on the car that your son is not standing there watching you..........He's gettin' his hands dirty on another task. Lucky man! L8r
