Thx gents! He has 4 cars on the go right now at various stages as parts are the hold up with mine. I'm waiting on Legendary to get my interior order together & get shipped(been months?). I decided to get the head rest kit from PG classics with all my other trim pieces etc. The tail lights are PG re-ops..what you think? Ordering the Boss 338's  for shoes along with my vinyl roof and stripe kit. My top end should be going on this week as I delivered it last Saturday to the shop. Really hoping everything comes in so it'll be ready for spring up here in the north :icon_smile_big: Can't wait to hear that 440 fire up!!!

It's great to see the photo progress as the car has moved through restoration. Hard to believe the before and after, takes a lot of vision to see the jewel in the pile of rusty metal. :2thumbs:

Amazing thread!  Somehow I have missed it over the last two years, but just finished reading through most of it... Both your & BZ's restoration threads show remarkable dedication & determination to see the project through... my Charger 500 restoration saga pales by comparison!

Congrats and I hope you are "riding like hell" that great steed by this spring!  :cheers:  :bow:

Pish posh.

Silver is a very clean colour on a 2nd gen...looks smart! I bet you that if you have her ready in spring and submit your car to the Moparfest selection committee they will select your car for the arena. I can walk you through the process if you like.

Well things are moving along again so I thought I'd share my latest glimpses of hope on here. Here is my motor after being dropped in,back seats re-skinned using the silver pleatted option from Legendary. Also here is my grille after restoration along with the bumper put back on the front end. I like the orange block instead of the blue but hey it's my car and it has taken a mod from being correct :icon_smile_big:

I was wondering what you kids thought of this set for as far as my ignition. Hate to say it but the color combo(not red) is much more of a match for my build than MSD. However I want to know more about quailty,operation and reliability from someone who may of used this product.
