Almost done with re-assembly on my 69

Hell yeah! Car is looking killer. Can't wait to see it complete.   

Any other pictures of the tinted taillights?

Thanks everyone

Thanks.     No I don't have any other pictures currently but I will get some soon.   I put the LED panel in them from Classic LED.  I would be scared to tint them with the original incadesent bulbs in there.

Pulled it out to clean it and do some final buffing before I apply the ceramic coating.

Each time I see this car, it reminds me of my own.

[garner7555]

They are very similar Kern Dog.          Both of them are resto-mod / pro-touring even.

Here are some photos of the "smoked" taillights and side markers.

Nice! 
Why is it on a trailer? Also....What are the tire and rim sizes ?

It has no seats or seat belts currently.  The seats are still at the upholstery shop.        I was sitting on a bucket to drive it on the trailer.

The wheels are American Racing Torque Thrust M.   I have always loved the Torque Thrust look and the M series is one of the few that had a spoke profile that would curve out enough to clear my brake calipers.  The M series is actually my favorite of the Torque Thrust anyway so that worked out good.

The fronts are 18"x8" with 4.5" backspace. 
Front tires are 225/45/18    Michelin Pilot Sports (I will probably go a little larger next time I buy tires)
The rears are 18"x10" with 7.27" backspace.   (I am forced to run a 1.5" spacer in the rear to make the equivalent backspace 5.77, almost exactly 5 3/4")
Rear tires are 285/40/18     Michelin Pilot Sports   (I will also go a little larger in the rear if it is available at the time)

Looking darn good.  Glad those brakes are working out for ya.  Still blows my mind you got them for 400 bucks.

[chargermick]

Absolutely stunning! You should be very proud, you did a fantastic job.

Thank you. I like the look.

Took it for a test drive today, but stayed close to home (in case I had issues).   Ran and drove great.   Pulled in this parking lot for a photo.

Looking great! Sits just right and has a great stance.  

I'm digging the taillights. Are you going to black out the tail panel or leave it red?

[VegasCharger]

 

Wheel well trim added would really set that car off.

Agreed

Also agreed!

Thank you!        I really don't know.      I'm gonna leave it red for right now while I decide.  I have also considered doing a tail stripe so if I black it out I will probably do it when/if I do the rear stripe.

Thanks.   I'm not a big fan of the wheel well trim, so I don't plan to add it.  Although I did save it in case I change my mind down the road.

Also agreed!   

Thanks.  You guys are starting to make me re-think.        I have just never been a fan of the wheel well trim so I don't see myself adding it anytime soon.

I also am not a fan of wheel well trim, BUT the way the wheel well is a sharp edge on a Charger I think it looks better with the trim

What did you use to tint the tail lights, Night Shades spray tint?
