I bet he's the life of any party. Allen V. offered him the build sheet for one of his cars for free years ago and he was less than enthused about reuniting it with the car. Not sure that he ever did.

It took this thread for me to even look at what my title says. I feel almost special now.

your special all right    Special Ernie

why would he be so smart as you put a cost? You are asking a lot there for him to think about. LOL

The seats are in for mock up.





I pulled them back out to lay down the sound deadener mat on the floor pans. I have the carpet I pulled from the red car in 2021 when I swapped in the 5 speed. The carpet isn't perfect but it is better than bare steel!

I'm often amazed when I see how much time passes when I get distracted.
The car still runs and drives fine. I had it on the back burner for awhile while I helped a buddy swap a Tremec 5 speed in his 69 Coronet. I also did a Vintage Air kit in a '68 Plymouth Satellite. I have the other Charger that I had to get ready for the trip south for Spring Fling....A/C work, distributor tuning, etc.
I'm back to it though.
The speedometer was stuck at 145. I had it gone through at a local speedometer shop.



 



I found a guy that had a glove box door hinge.





I decided to pull the crappy seat and make the moves to install the bucket seats originally from my red car:





I had to weld on the AMD floor support brackets.

The glove box door hinge arrived this week. I sandblasted, primed and painted it. Rustoleum sure takes awhile to dry.





It hangs a little low on the left side. There is enough adjustment in the hinge to get that looking better.
I sure like the 1970 design better than the 68-69 where the door is hinged from above.

How about this?



I had the speedometer out since it was stuck at 145. I had a shop fix it. I did ask what was wrong because I'd like to know how to fix another in the future. The man said "It was broke".....
Either he didn't feel like explaining or he figured I was the guy that may not need him if he told me how to fix the dang thing. It did not please me. I want to learn and do things myself.
I polished the clear gauge face cover....

I've read from guys that did the heat and scrape method but I hade no interest in trying that. The needle scaler is loud and dusty but quite effective.
I have a thing with fire though. I don't like it. I wouldn't call it a phobia, I'm just not too comfortable with fires.
