Yes, very classy.  The car looks fantastic.  40 years later and still a classic style to the eye.  :icon_smile_tongue:
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

I keep looking at these pics and wonder if I need to seek medical attention for the erection that's lasting for 3 or more hours. :nutkick:

Latest pics.  He's pretty much waiting on my grill and then it's done.  I can't get over how good it looks.  It used to bother me when I popped the hood and the grill and headlights looked all grimy and nasty.

now the motor looks grimy and nasty.  that's coming out in the fall for full detailing.  for now I just want the car back, I will clean up the motor as good as I can and touch up here and there.

and more. that radiator is a monster.  I used to run an electric as a pusher (auxilliary) so for now, I rigged up one of my fans to come on with the switch. when I get it home, I will wire both fans to a thermostatic switch i have.

Looks awesome... Quick question... where did you send your grille to??? I need to get ours fixed (missing a few teeth)


This Charger right here is a one of none, that means none before it, none to come.

dkn1997

sent the grill to ghetto garage....aka: my house.  I redid it myself. there is another thread going about it that I have to update soon anyway..

zero intention of painting the core support. If the shop had painted it black, so be it.  they didn't...so be it.

finished the grill. the one part so far that i did myself. I have plenty to do once I get it home

-sound deadener install
-permanently wire my fans with temp sensor
-clean up engine bay as good as possible
-test fit wheels and buy spacers if I decide to keep them.

rad itself is off the shelf from evans.  the custom part came in where they mounted the fans where I needed them.  since the rad is so huge and B bodies have next to no clearance for radiators in general....they fans had to be put up high.

Wow! the car is looking great. I know it sucks to have your car smashed up , but aren't you glad how she has a new lease on life.
