Rob's ongoing slow restoration process of his 69 charger R/T SE

[TUFCAT]

Wow! It really looks pretty Rob

Can I please interject a helpful tip?  Okay, since you just said yes , continue blowing felt runs and window fuzzies with forced air, then do more open air road blasts (wearing goggles and headwear if necessary )  ....and re-vac/blow again!    

When you're satisfied everything was blown out properly, re-blow/vac once again for good measure, then close windows. .

I'd sure hate for any remaining sand particles to scratch your glass.

Gee never thought about that?  Now I have to check the glass to make sure it's o.k   Thanks guys.

Wow. Just went out to the car and there was white sand sitting in the felt. OMG. This sand blasting was a disaster. The pass front window has a new motor and used to work great. Now it can't go up without help so I have to take that apart also. What a pain.
Thanks again for your advise.

Looks just like the spare I took out of an original owner '69 Satellite I bought.  Put that spare in my blue car.

I'd say 90% of the people who look in your trunk won't know that's the wrong jack.  Besides, it's not like it'll ever be used.

I don't think you'll ever be completely rid of the sand.  My blue car had something blasted.  Every time the windows were down I'd get blasted.  Prolly 10 years after it was painted it was still sand blasting occupants.

As usual, your ride's a beauty.   

[1969chargerrtse]

Thanks.  I see my car as a real nice driver.  Just the way I like it.  Yeah this SB is a pain in the butt.  Overall it's gone but I need to take some door panels off and clean more.

I was changing out the PW motor on my passenger side when I found this part number on the door, thought that was cool.

It's that time of year for my 2 favorite weekend things.

I hear ya but I have a problem I just can't figure out?  If I lift the car up the lower part of my wheels turn inward.  That's my issue.  My A frame is pulled in towards the engine on both sides and can't go any further in, so why do the tires angle inward at the base?  That is why I had it so low.  The lower I went, the more the tires straightend out.  Also, to each his own on the look.  No prob.

There are offset upper control arm bushings to help correct alignment.

By the looks of those #s on the door you may have a NOS door skin on it...

Not sure. Looked original inside to me. To late now as its all closed up. Pretty sure both doors have the original yellow on them, but whatever they're orange now.

A beautiful day here in the North East.  My buddy Jr and I met for coffee and GAS!  We've been best buddies for decades.  The cars we have now are probably our last.  Pretty cool, both are Hugger orange and one a conv and one a Hard top.  One a Gm and one a Mopar, both beautiful and rare in their own way.  I've had a conv muscle car since I was 16.  I had to give that up to have the charger, and that's just the price I had to pay, with no regrets.  Though I do miss a drop top, but I ain't selling my Charger to get one.

Lucky bum!  Its 60 up here in NH and I can't get my car out until the 28th.

Oh that sucks.  I've been driving my car probably since late Feb.  So you saved about 500.00 over me.

Put one of those mini starters in tonight. It cranks the engine up super fast, nice.    75.00 from DB on eBay with shipping included.  I ran in the house for 1 min, when I came out my Scott's spreader that hangs on the wall next to my wife's car fell off the wall and next to the Charger.    I thought for sure there would be a dent or paint scrapes?  I am one lucky dude.
