    Stephan was lucky that he brought his charger to a shop with passion and a very fussy assembler with Mopar knowledge and contacts to get it done.

    In 1970 You could do alot worse than a Dodge Charger RT Deep gloss Stefans gain is the crushers loss He's paid the cost to be the boss At the finish line he'll be first to cross A Diamond outa swiss cheese Many years of work is no breeze Nick and Robert are doing a breakdown Planning the various installations of the parts labouriously found and strategically placed around Robert knows where everything goes his fuel line modifications illustrate his qualifications He's all about improving classic cars more technical innovations like their fuel delivery situations Nick is putting up a fight workin day and night he's always makin sure it's being put together right He's doing what he loves Torquing the structural pieces in tight No detail overlooked that's why he's overbooked Nick's Garage every Monday where muscle car recipes get cooked Thanks Nick and George Robert and Manny

    If I was Steffan, I would request autographs of all hands on the inside of the trunk lid. This is an amazing come back for a " roached out" vehicle. It required a full team of craftsmen.
    It's nice to see Leo back, I see myself at that age and appreciate his dedication to learning from his elders.✨

    Awesome paint job! That black is like a mirror! I've often wondered what happened to the 70 R/T I bought in 1975 with 21k miles on it. I sold it in 1978 to pay for college tuition, had just under 50K miles. Previous owner had rust proofed it, I refreshed it in 1975. They were prone to rust, but when I sold it there was zero rust. Can't wait to see the finished ride. 👍

    What a beauty to see this transformation is a sight to behold and a testament to Nick and his guys and vendors literally the best in the world. I remember my mom's 68 charger she got in 1975 when I was ten years old. I asked if the car would be mine when I turned 16 my parents told me you get good grades and do the chores I'm asked to do with out being asked then maybe. My mom had the car 2 years and it was stolen never to be seen again.

    So nice! When I was young in 1985, my coworker offered me first choice to buy his one owner 68 B5 blue charger 440 RT with pistol grip and vinyl top for $5,500. My first child was one the way, so I had to pass…. Picking family over the car. Never regretted that as she grew up and made me proud with a family of her own. Right car, wrong time for me.
