Thanks for the compliments guys.  This has been a long road.  It went from being just a paint job to replacing almost everything on the interior, replacing both quarter skins, tail panel, rear valence and other metal work.  There are some things that I still want to change but I had to draw a line somewhere.  As most of you know you could dump endless amounts of cash into these and it will still never be done.

The roll bar was in the car when I bought it.  It's just bolted in.  Yeah, the pics are a little easier to see on a monitor versus a little 2" camera screen.

1969 Charger RT/SE - I remember standing in the Dodge showroom in 1969 drooling over the new Charger.  My parents bought a Chevelle next door at the Chevy dealer.  ( still getting consoling over that )   Wanna trade your car?  My new site:  http://www.CARSNOTFORSALE.com   A big thank you to my wife, for posting for me when I'm not home to do so.  Thanks, honey.

Hahaha, yes, go black on that 500.  I hope those emblems work out for your Charger.

And thanks to everyone else for the positive comments.   2thumbs

Got my wheels on.  I think they turned out great.  They are 18x9.5 in the rear and 17x8 in the front.  The wheels are Wheel Vintique billet Magnum 500's.  The pics aren't the greatest but they will have to do for now.

I usually don't like the big rims on cars, but Paul and you have done a great job of convincing me otherwise. They look great. 2thumbs

Thanks Brian.  I hope it's done soon because I REALLY need to drive it again.  It's been way too long.

Thanks man.  I think they turned out pretty dang good.  When I saw those wheels on Keepat's Charger, I knew I had to have them.
