Hey everyone. It's been a while since I've posted any work. I just finished this one up this week. I spent about 22 hours on it and really wish I could have been able to do alot more but budget was limiting. So I did what I could to get a shine. The paint has alot of flaws in it so it's not 100%. It looks like the previous owner painted this car himself. I saw a few inconsistances in the paint pattern especially on the roof top. The paint thickness varied so I just didn't want to risk anything at all and just played it safe. It may be getting a repaint in about 2 years so for now it is very presentable compared to how it was. As usual I've made a video which was not only fun to make but will be enjoyable for the owner as well. Hope you guys enjoy it.

I did a green version of that car about 6 months ago.....that car has a lot of real estate!

It definitely does have alot of real estate. I thought I was never going to finish.Originally posted by RDVT4ME View Post
I was using a chopstick with a meguiars microfiber to get in between every slit to make sure there was no residue left behind.Originally posted by maxpower View PostJesse

It came out great, Jesse.
Those classic cars take time to detail. 20+ hours is usually a case.Comment

Awesome that you got to work on a classic 60's muscle car, especially a 68 Charger (HEMI) R/T. Beautiful work as always, Jesse.

Re: 1968 Dodge Charger R/T Detailed
I know I'm a bit late, but that's great work Jesse.
The 68 Charger is probably my favourite 60's muscle car.
..And I really enjoyed your video too!Originally posted by BluelineComment
