Well finally got to tinker around with her this weekend, straightened the corner of the hood and took the front valance off to straighten it. Next I will pull the grill and bumper off to replace the radiator support :2thumbs:. ? I was told that the seats I have witch are 69 coronet seats will still work for the Charger, bun and vinal covers :shruggy:, or will I need 69 charger seats?

I took some pics from the other night to show just how solid this thing is, witch helps a lot :2thumbs:. I polished the slots and they turned out nice. Since then I cleaned around the 4speed hump and re welded it in. Drilled holes in the hump and welded from underneath-looks clean and smooth :yesnod:. Today I ordered caps for the slots, all new breaks and lines, pedal pads, and carpet so far. I found a 383-2 out of a 69 charger for $200.00 awesome score and a four speed. I will post more pics after more progress :2thumbs:. ? Can you still get the trim that wraps around the rear window inside, mine was really brittle and broke in several places :rotz:.-Thanks

Terriffic-looking project & off to a great start.  Congrats!~

PS - HOLY CRAP - Is that the almost-never-seen option code NN-57, Navaho Rear Seat Cover???   Wow, I haven't seen one of those in many years.  Your ride is very much a 1-of-1, my friend.  I suggest you call Galen immediately.
