The repro parking light fit and look much better then the ones I used 15 years ago on my 1st Charger.
Thanks

Thanks Don! And yes there is definitely a grin of relief that everything seems to be working! Just hope it keeps going that way!

The reproduction Map pocket cufflinks did not look as nice as my originals (3rd pic) Unfortunately removing the originals doesn't leave enough of the stud to reattach to the new panels. So I used my Weld Mount studs and epoxy on longer threaded studs making the cufflinks installation very simple. I think the 68 map pocket is a little big for today's maps;-)

great stuff Pat, the attention to detail  continues to amaze. But hey, some of the pictures are so clean and clear its hard to see the car with all the reflections off the paint... can you sprinkle some dust on it to show up better in the pics? :smilielol:

Thank You!

Legendary's carpet set fits great with a few modifications and the addition of some foam to fill the gap around the modified shifter tunnel. It's nice that they make this carpet extra long at the firewall so you cannot see any of firewall. Just letting it relax for a few days with a some 25 pound lead bags.
Thanks

Even the carpet fitting procedure is impressive. The interior looks great Pat.

I decided to reuse the original door sills. The repro's don't look as nice as the originals after polishing, even with a few dents and scratches.
Thanks

Received an email from Carlisle events to be part of their featured vehicle display at the Chrysler nationals. (Thank you Ed Buczeskie!) It will be great showing the vehicle for the first time in Carlisle as this is where I saw the car for the first time prior to buying it 9 years ago. Having an indoor space to show my black Charger pretty much assures everyone that we will have a rain free and relatively cool weekend;-)
Thank!
Pat

That is AWESOME!
Congratulations Pat. I predict best in show! You certainly deserve it,  :2thumbs:

Don,
I think it's just on display not in a competition, at least I hope so!
Thank you!

that's awesome! if the border is open i hope to drive the 68 down to Carlisle this year as well, provided i can get it safety and registered soon enough. I'd love to see this masterpiece in person.
