:shruggy: pictures ?    :shruggy:  tires ?  :shruggy:  tire pictures ?  :shruggy: :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

I have pictures, but Jon took them, I didn't make it there tonight.. I'll be there tomorrow afternoon.

Ok, here are a few shots.. The old flange  :rotz: , new flange and the pile of rust....



Hey, these look kind of like BK's welds! I wonder if Jon might have gone to W... Oh, never mind.


 





Does this look like it came from a SANDBLASTED CAR?!?!?!?!



On a good note, thanks to someone on this forum I WILL HAVE HEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Now that's what a PROPER weld looks like...

Thank you, Steve. Some legal information came up that forced me to remove the latest bit of information that has unfolded.  I appreciate you pulling the information from the public eye. (FOR NOW)

Will do, Mike!!

I went to Jon's last night. The car is really looking good. He's got the engine compartment looking GREAT (wiring, cleaning up, welding, etc...). The hood's off the car , which is good because I'm replacing it, and he's taking the 2 front fenders off this week.

I am SO ready for this whole nightmare to be over, but believe me when I tell you this, BK is NO WHERE NEAR done with his.

Jeff, what hood are you using?  I ask because I just put an AMD hood on my charger and it's very very nice.  For 600 is was a bargain.  I even paid less because I ordered it through gunslinger and he gave me a discount off the amd website price. Sorry if the information was posted already.  I also used an AMD driver's fender and it's just as good.   I didn't have the heart to scan back and look.  I've read steven king books shorter than this thread...but not many that were more interesting or bloodcurdling!

Not wrong at all, but still looking for the thread on the correct answer.  Supposedly AMD has the correct glass but you would have to call them as the stock photo on the site doesn't tell you squat.

There are a bunch of threads on this and Mikedc has some good input but it appears he is still looking for the answer as well.  I'll keep looking but no matter because it opens up this question again and since this is just about the most followed thread, somebody is bound to know the answer and post it up here concerning this windshield conundrum.

EDIT:    Bill has real good input on this thread below and a possible answer on the windshield and gasket along with contact info.

installed my original windshield , with a  repop gasket  from year one ,  used  sealer  along the bottom  &  up the sides about 6/7 inches .. as per the FSM , (factory service manual) but also put a thin bead all round , if you don't put lots of sealer in the corners &  up the sides  6/7 inches ..it will leak , as the gasket just lays in place , .... a really bad design .... if you ask me ...

as for leaving the screen in that  was installed  when it came from BK ... not worth it ..every thing else has been wrong ..what  makes this any different  :scratchchin: .... sorry for sounding cynical .... but just look at their track record .... :popcrn:

They have a track record?? I'd refer to it as a HACK record.  :yesnod:

As for the panels, they will be AMD panels. I've heard such good things about them as far as fit/quality.

Is the person a forum member here that gave you the discount, dkn1997?? I'll be ready to order the parts in the next 2 weeks.  :cheers: :cheers:

Thanks for the advice guys -- I will make sure attention is put into those areas.

Great!! Will do, thank you!!

Ok, check out some of these pictures. This is how BK professionally installed the decals and then put them under a coat of clear. I've seen decals buried under 6 coats of clear and 6 years later haven't lifted, but then, we all know it's in the prep... Here's how mine look after MONTHS on the car, and NO ONE has peeled these up. The decals on the roof even have overspray all over them, UNDER the clear..  :shruggy:















The flag is absolutely HORRIBLE!!





BK told me they had to slit the decal in the back because "all '69 Charger roof panels have a contour that a decal can't fit"  :brickwall:



Overspray:





Torn UNDER the clear:

Well, when the car's repainted I'm having the shop paint the graphics on.. I know there are better quality graphics than this set, but these just look like butt.. TOTAL lack of prep and sloppy work.. Are you surprised?

Holy crap, I've definitely seen it all now.  I know this was a weird post to actually floor me, but this last decal one just did it.  I cannot believe how bad they look.  Man, that is just terrible. 

What are you and the shop using for measurement information for the painted on set?
