Some progress pic of my 69 Charger

[tripleblkr/t]

Thought I'd post some progress pics of the 69 charger I'm doing up. It's my first charger so I'm pretty excited about the whole thing. It's going to be black on black on black with hemi 4 speed and dana 60 with 354 gears and a nice stout 440. Here's a pic of it when I picked it up.

  way to go.

As soon as I got it home I started taring it apart. This is the first time I've gone completely through one, it's kind of overwhelming

While it was sent out for blasting the engine bay, trunk, floors, and all the jams I started the dash.

When I got the charger back from being blasted it went up on the rotisserie. I was a little nervous about just bolting it to were the bumper hooked so I also braced it on the bottom of the frame with some help from fellow members.

This is were I'm at now, I just sprayed the it out with DP90 to keep the bare steel from rusting and I'm now ready to do the bottom of the car. I'm going to try find a nice durable medium grey paint to duplicate the grey primer look. I want something that has a glossy finish so grease will wipe off easy. I'm then going to do the black over spray with undercoating in the wheel wells and some of the outside of the frame like factory. Any one have any good ideas for the grey paint?

It looks like I'll have plenty of time to get it done before the snow melts

Great progress, keep the pics coming.

Thanks, I'll keep posting as I go. I've already got the wheels for it, I bought them for my bee and I'm going to keep them for this car. Now all I need is to buy the brand new dog dish hub caps that they now make.

i'll be redoing these pretty soon, it's on my next to do list.

I think it looks great in the before picture, was there some unseen damage or did you just want to know what you had?

The picture makes it look better then what it is. There was dirt all though the paint, a couple of rust issues I had to take care of and the interior was in need of being gone through.  I was going to just freshen it up and drive it around but you how that goes once you start digging into it.

I guess it going to be black again by sig name. I'm doing a Triple black also. 

[tripleblkr/t]

yes, it's going to black interior, black vinyl top which someone took off along the way but I can still see where the holes were for the trim, black exterior, stripe delete with red R/T logo on the quarter. The only things I'm adding to it are the six way seat and power windows. Is yours a 69 also?

I don't see any beer in your snow fridge

Holy crap! Where do you live? If I had to deal with that much white crap, I'd shoot myself.

Great looking project & I love how much garage work space you have.

I feel like I'm going a little crazy, it's been a long winter.  It's my brother's garage we built it a couple of years ago, 60X100'.  It makes it real nice when doing one of these cars up. Were just now getting to the point where we have every thing we need in it. He has one bay were we keep it clean and then we have the work area where we try to keep it clean. We picked up the paint booth from a dodge dealership last year and it work real nice. Here's a pic shortly after it was built my challenger r/t s/e is in it, looks allot less full.
