An old cliche but it's likely appropriate to say, better late than never. :yesnod:  Doug is right, the car is going to be great when its done and well worth it.

I am so happy I saw this thread a week ago.  Lots of good pictures and reading.  Been going through it for days.

I recently found a near twin to this car, 1969 Charger 500, B5, 4-speed, it came with the other engine available though.  This is not me gloating for my ego about what I have found.  I am going to forward the owner this thread for future reference and hopefully inspire him to do something with it.

So thank you for sharing it with everyone.
