Thanks Eldon!

Those are 14" Keystones on there (they came with the car.)  They look better in the photo than up close... ;)
Someday I'll get some nice wheels... Someday....

Yeah it's a full vinyl top that I installed like a 71-72 top. 
Your's is called a halo top.  I got the trim from a 73 "spring special" donor car; Those were the ones with the SE coupe side glass but no louvers and 71-72 style roof trim.
I just wanted something different ;)

Yes it's Petawawa!  I'm just about to be posted away from here after 11 years...  I'm moving to Montreal for temporary duty on Monday - I'm not bringing my Charger :(

BTW,
How hard was it to put the hideaways on? Could I just drill holes in 71-72 brackets?

The car came with them on when I bought it, the rear bumpers etc are from a 72 and the hideaways and front bumper are 71.

Yeah, it is the factory steel hood.  The scoop is a $49 one from eBay and it's really well made -

It's riveted onto the hood and I think it kinda looks cool that way.  I'm going to leave it as is and not try to bondo/hide the seams

Hey Duey!
Long time no see... 
Yeah, I was looking for a spot around the area to take the pics and figured that the tanks would make agreat background - plus I parked in front of the Challenger tank, and I would imagine that the Sherman was made by Chrysler too... LOL
I'm actually heading out to Montreal on Monday - I'm going IR so it's very fast and furious ;)  When do you think you're coming up to Pet again - I might be down for leave not too sure right now.  My wife may come to Mtl to hang out during leave...

And yes, I kinda figured you'd be right in the middle of the new acquisiton ;)

Take care dude!

Thanks Ron and everybody!

The motor feels very strong, but I was trying to baby it for the first few 100 miles...trying. LOL
I'm sure that during my holidays in August I'll get back out on the road...If I can afford the price of gas!
;)
I found my good camera during the move, so I'll snap a few more pics then....
