It's been awhile since i posted any progress pics so here are a few. My buddy Mike restored the grill assembly for me and did a fantastic job. Last week we went out to the shop where it's stored and got some wrenchtime in on the car.  icon_smile_big

I ordered up new Grill Chrome from Gunslinger and the fit and finish are top  shelf.  yesnod

I also have new bumpers on both ends from Goodmark and i would have to give them a  2thumbs

So, lots of work done and some more still to do but it's getting there. Hope to have the engine and trans in this w/e.

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.
