  6. Dukefan1, Hang in there it'll happen with patience & persistence oh & mostly luck. I am sure peopl ehave the wildest stories on just how they located their Charger. Just start a thread & ask & I'm sure you'll be amazed at some of them. Dukefan, You & I are right at he same age almost & I JUST decided to make a General. I helped friends make'em & drove in them never really lettin on just how much fun I was having because he was buying, makin & sellin them. I have had at least one Charger at all times in my life since 1984 & in fact still have my 1st Charger to this day in addition to my General. So so glad I never sold it. Like I said b4 to try & get back in now is alot more difficult moneywise now then it used to be. You also need to Google that Darrewn guy you mentioned. Just type his full name in there & if that dosent work try Facebook.com & then any otyher means of trying to locate him because that sounds like a sweet deal he offered ya. KEEP US POSTED both of ya. & as always Best of Luck!!!!!!!!! Tom
  7. BoJames LOL I actually pulled the pic back & cropped the crud out of it LOL.....For those in the know you can imagine who it was! I seriously doubt he got it because the steeple was JUST added recently but from waht I have heard I wouldnt put it past him. Yes the farmhouse is barely standing, rumors floated round it too was going to be restored but that turned out to be false. It is in sad sad shape for sure!
  8. I have more I'll post later on gotta run
  9. Here are a few shos froma trip I took down in 2007: John Schneider walking round the Boars Nest lot.
  10. I feel bad for you guys because ......well I see dukefan is 23 & I'm not sure about dukefan1 but thinking around the samne age? If not I'm sorry for my guessin BUT the reason I feel bad is because.....GONE! are the days of finding & buying these cars for $300 to $800 still runnin in backyards. I grabbed mine for $1500.00 runnin but ugly & I thought at the time that-that was high! I look back & say to my self thank goodness I bought it. I payed the guy in payments because I had other obligations at the time but had BIG plans with this car (as you all seen lol). However the car sat at my Moms house for almost 10 years b4 I did ANYTHING 2 it at all. People would stop all the time to try & buy it & Mom used to say, "my son is going to re-do it". I am sure they all walked away saying, "Yea Sure he is lady". OK back on track. There is one sittin near me but I have not stopped to try & get it for my son because I am going to go there with $$$$ in hand & ask & show the cash hoping this gives me some upper hand or something? Dunno if thats gonbna work but thats one option for the guy you know near you or sometimes people want to hear that you are going to restore it to its original glory and would be glad to stop back with it to show them & allow them to be a part of it. I know it sounds weird but people have attachments with some of these cars, so try that? All in all its so hard anymore to find'em cheap or in rough shape anymore & man do I miss those days! GOOD LUCK GUYS & I mean that!
  11. You rock MeadowMufn It allows me now! Thank you for your help YOU ROCK!!!!!
  12. Yea, a group I know went recently & checked locals & saw it just a few wks ago. Its progress and all but I still think it kinda sucks a lil ya know?
  13. Here is the Montage link of my General going through the process of becomign a General. Oh by the way go get something to eat or drink or go to the bathroom because it's about 16 minutes LOL. Heres to hoping it works & that you enjoy. Tom (ps the music gets better had to find 3 songs that lasted 16 minutes!) http://www.onetruemedia.com/my_shared?z=ff6cb7fb2aff85e6f83be&utm_source=otm&utm_medium=text_url
  14. It may be but beside the headlights dukefan1 I have a radio that cuts out when the RPM's get to high & a studder start meaning I go to start the car & I get nuttin but then I (GET THIS) I wiggle the drivers seat & bam it starts so I got a short there somehow too. I think the guy who installed the headliner shorted out my interior light or maybe its Gremlins? Im in NJ so its cold now & the car is sittin in the garage. I have been collecting parts to put in/on it & this far I have sittin here awaiting application: an aluminum radiator rear bumperettes engine wiring harness forward light harness headlights new door locks new side view mirror more dynomat for the doors & trunk area & I'm sure theres more but when I do I will be sure to post more pix
  15. Wow I mean well WOW thats so very cool to hear that you or anyone else would take the time to view all the shots & steps & process from A-Z like that. I loved doing it & I have to be honest I am no done yet but honestly I am kinda sad it's mostly over ya know? Weird I know but true. The car is a BLAST 100% to take out. I find myself looking at the weather and whenever its lookin good Away I GO! lol. I will see if I can get the onemedia.com montage I did up on here somehow. I has no words but music & it goes through the pictures for you. Again Dukefan thanks for the praise it's most welcomed! Tom
