Welcome.  :cheers:  Don't worry not everyone on here drives a restored Hemi Charger.  You got your Charger and enjoy driving/working on it and that is enough for some people.  :2thumbs:

Guys named "Mike" must love 72s.
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.  Especially if they have access to the internet.

Welcome to the site and don't worry, you don't need to make any apologies for that car.  It looks like it's in good hands.

Nope ,they painted it gloss black after the vinal came off. I found the vinal under the roof trim.

Okay, so it currently DOES NOT have a vinyl top on it.  See....I was right.  :icon_smile_big:
Anyway, welcome home to the greatest Mopar site ever.

Look close and you can see they had the grills in backwards. The white nylon nuts hold the Dodge chrome and it goes on the drivers side.

i would have never spotted the grills being installed upside down. was the guy drunk when he did that? my '72 also started out as a 318 car. i pulled that motor and put in a 440. when i get the body work done, i am gonna have it rebuilt and hopefully i can find a reasonable 4-speed tranny or just splurge for a new 5-speed.
