If you need ref. pictures I can help. I have a restored 69. I'm certain many people here can help as well.

[69bronzeT5]

Thank you for the offer! I'm positive I will end up needing reference pictures

OK.....so finally some progress! The grille is almost done! I'm getting another passenger side grille bucket (mine is messed big time) so the one on it right now is temporary. So the silver paint isnt as dark as the original shade but I gotta say, who cares..I personally love the shade of silver that I put on . So once I get the other passenger side grille bucket, then I can paint that. I still have some painting to do still such as painting the whole back of the grille semi-flat black. As you can see, the driver's side has a silver line in it..that will be painted black! Then I can buy the grille hardware kit and put it back together (its just sitting together..no bolts) and then put the trim on.

69Bronze, you are lucky to own a Charger. It is coming along nicely. Cant wait to see it done! Are you going to repaint all the suspension and everything else at a shop, or use rattle can paint like they did in a magazine, on a "Budget Buildup"? Now, where can i find a 70...goes off to read auto trader.

Any more updates, Cody?

[69bronzeT5]

WingCharger- it will be getting all new suspension components (hopefully).

Brandon- nothing yet...

[69bronzeT5]

Small update.

Removed the old gas tank.

Cody, that frame rail is a little rusty, but I am sure you know that. 

As a side note I found those parts last week I promised you. Give me a few days to get them sent out to you.

I's gots a plug in the wall Arc welder i bought at a yard sale for $15. Havent used it since we got another better Arc. Maybe, I could do some haggling.

[The70RT]

You got your work cut out for you son. I admire you for starting to tackle it all by yourself. 

[terrible one]

Well, the trunk floor sure does look good. The tank too. When I pulled mine, I could see the bottom of the tank when I opened up the trunk lid!

[CHRGR SE]

[69bronzeT5]

Believe it or not, the right side frame rail is MINT!
