The car was one of the most highly optioned & exspensive 69 Roadrunner made. Yes, It has factory Cruise control (a pain in the ass to reassemble under dash :brickwall:) Owner was most excited & obsessed with bumper guards. Constantly ranted & raved about them non stop. Car originally had Hub caps. He still has them in good shape & I keep telling him to put them on. I hate the black Steelies unless on a original 6 pak car. They got a couple of minor scuffs & he don't want to pay like $1,000 bucks to have them restored so he wont put them on. LEON.

Which is funny on a sedan body.  Not funny, but interesting.  Its an Air Grabber as well?

Luckily it was a low mileage original owner car. It still had most of it's factory inspection marks visable after a good cleaning with power washer. LEON.

I like to paint behind my Quarters before I install them. Never see it but better protection. LEON.

An interesting car the way its optioned actually.  Bumper guards, dual exterior mirrors, plain wheels, vinyl top.  Is that a cruise lever?

Ghost, Here's some of the options on his display card. LEON.

Quarter Panels were spot welded on with spot welder for factory look. Not fake like most people do them. LEON.

p.s. I know, a old post I stumbled upon.

Leon great work. With that said keep in mind that since California is right by the ocean there is rust to be had on cars for sure; my charger was an Arizona car that moved to California and it developed rust in all of the usual areas.  Couple that with the leftist drivel, constant assault on 2nd amendment rights, restrictive smog laws and the laziest group of people in the country, all I can say is to HELL with California...
I have always liked your outspoken ways!

Well done HH!
- how do you weld through that paint on the 1/4s
- most impressive is the stamp/making replication
- that's why I bought my last Charger in California

Since the 1/4's were new there was no paint to weld through. the 1/4's were painted after welded.
luckily being very original many factory markings were duplicated, others were what should of been on there but couldn't read them.
That's why my 70 R/T was from California & 100% rustfree. :icon_smile_big:

  I did the samething too when I welded in new metal in the lower rear quarters.   I primed and painted inside before I welded in the metal.  I also sprayed Black Bear rust proofing lube a few weeks after everything was done.

472 R/T SE

Heck with that state.  The NW had just as nice of cars if not better.  No sun to destroy interiors.  You might come across a moldy interior.
My blue 70 Charger was an original Junction City, Oregon car and ol cudaken said I was full of shit when I said it only had rear window rust, lol.

Treehuggers...never used salt for years until recently.  Right before I left they were using salt at the end of the winter months cause they couldn't get chemical and salt was cheap...so they said.
Lemme tell ya, gravel sucked too, lol.
