Well.......

The bodywork will hopefully be 100% completed by the end of next weekend. I wont see the car again now until after Chryslers @Carlisle. I will grab the items I can afford to compliment the outside of the car like the rear bumper & stuff like that. I will then need to decide what are the things i can do without....money-wise--ya know? I mean I gotta get exhaust put on it too so that has priority over recovering the seats....make sense?  

To answer your question on done....I dont think it'll ever be done LOL but it will get to cruise nights this season yes. May not be 100% done done but it will make some events.  

Excellent!  After all, what good is a Charger club without a General Lee?

Tom,

Wow, the car looks excellent.  I hope to see it in person one day and get to meet you as well.  That is an inspiration for all of us with old cars waiting for restoration.  Thank you for the pics - I noticed the red R/T peeking out from under the blue tarp and the green charger parked in the street too....a mini car show in a driveway!  lol

Carlos, it will be nice to finally meet people on the site. I wa sup North Jersey & I had seen that a few people here were heading to DE. that same day. I actually saw a nice new Charger heading North on rt295 it was yellow and he seemed to notice me going the oppisite way near Burlington area on my way home that Sunday.

The 70 R/T is mine also & the green 69 in the street is a buddy of mine.  

As for the General its coming along & I am finally able to hit a few cruises & have yet to show it however I am considering taking it to Atco Raceway tomm for Waterford twp days so we'll see.

Heres a few shots of that Dukes event I went to listed above in this thread:

Byron Cherry (Coy Duke) in my car.

Talked to this State Trooper that came in & asked if he'd "pull me over" expecting him to say no thats not allowed or no can do....Nope he was like, "Where ya want me?" and heres the result (1st is of me & then Byron got in on the action)

He looks like a young trooper.  Probably grew up watching the show too.

Funny you say that Dave because he was there to get autographs himself & when I heard that I was all over him with my request.

Ended up with another autograph a few  weekends ago. Went to Parsipanny Hilton to the Chiller Theatre show & met up with Daisy. Took along my decklid to have her added to the autographs I have on there already! Heres a few shots of the day:
