Had the original radio (on top) gone through by JC Auto Restoration in Washington State. Radio came back looking great.
I wanted to update the radio, but could not justify modifying the original radio that was installed in the dash at the factory, so JC Auto sold me a radio they had on the bench and modified it with a new board, etc. I know have AM/FM, Bluetooth and USB connectivity.

Anyone knwo where I can get a connecting rod for the center AC vent? I am missing one, although I suppose I could fabricate something.

It's been a while, but I am still working on the Charger. Latest photos of the body.

Pulled the entire dash out of the car to rebuild it. Lots of work to do. i have never restored a dash, so any input is welcome. Looks like I might have to replace all the pads, some have cracks or seem warped. I am sending the gauge cluster, radio and A/C controls out to get restored/upgraded with newer electronic technology. Also swapping clock with a tich-tach clock. I am sure there must be a way to restore the plastic on the dash, unless its cheaper just to buy new reproduction stuff.

Restoring a GenII Charger is an act of love.

I notice an Stang in the background? Is it a Termi?  That's what I sold my 69 Charger SE/RT to buy.  I sort of regret it, but least a good Cobra Still brings $20K used.

I wish it was a Termi. It's an '04 Stage 2 Roush. I bought it new...24,800 miles on it now. I have made a few engine mods but that about it.

Engine is now rebuilt. Final touches have been done and was run on the burn-in stand.

Anyone know where I can find a replacement air cleaner decal like the one shown? I have looked for a while and cannot find one anywhere.

Thanks!
