I have a 1970 Challenger in my garage as a project for a friend. Hes been out of work for about 2 years now so not a lot is getting done & I am at the point in my life that I don't want that big of a project any more. I keep thinking that someday I will have a big garage with a paint booth, then I start thinking that I would rather get on my Ultra & just ride. Maybe someday I will grow up & know what I want. Great writ up Batman, I have enjoyed someone else's enthusiasm.

My son is always looking for a 70 Challenger. Ask your friend. If I remember right you're in the Dakota's.

Sealer is on.



Black Diamond and clear is on.



And a picture of the inside of the booth showing the plug doors and filters by request.



Oh yeah black paint on the wall compliments of the last person I let use my booth. I should have made him repaint the wall. He also over sprayed the light covers, but at least he bought new ones for me.....

The Big Sucker is installed. The Python dual headers are installed loosely. I have the Wild Pigs waiting and the S/G turn signal arm and license plate holder are in the mail.
Next weekend mount the S/G signals, mount rear fender. Install rear wheel, install Wild Pigs, Install PCIII, Install in tank fuel filter & maybe fire it up for the 1st time since Christmas.
