Where do you find these pictures!?!

I think i do have the right bracket, its just not folded the right way. The horizontal bit should be upright and the top bit folded down. (i hope)
Oh!!!  Sorry I didn't see this response. Your correct. That is right just folded up. My bad. I'm glad because now I'm sure I have the right one.  :icon_smile_big:
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

That coil bracket looks like nothing I know of on a 69?  I used Chris's site for most of my engine info

http://www.1969chargerregistry.com/gallery/engineshots

Here's an example.

I found lots of stuff ( along with the whole car on ebay ).

Gotta be careful though, like that engine shot has the M/C facing the wrong way for power disk, I think the hemi cars faced towards the fender.
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

Bill is on this site.  ( aka GTX6970 ) He is a detail nut.  He's the guy that picked out my bracket on ebay for me.  All the other detail stuff I got from him.

Hi. Just to help out and not be critical, I'm pretty sure the metal a/c line in this picture should be painted black from the factory.

Negative....that section is correct as pictured.  The pic is from the Hoffman Winners Circle '69 Coronet R/T 'vert & is as spot on as they come :thumbs:

A/C pipe braket restored, replated and re-rubbered.

Yes that bracket is correct for an A/C 69 car.....currently NOT being reproduced.

Fitted the clips for the rocker mouldings. Note the front one being zinc plated and a bit pitted. Should be an olive green, but as no one will ever see it, it was easier to plate it.

No mouldings yet though. Mucho work required on those.

Having gone as far as i can on the car, time to sort out the front grille, another whole projuect all on its own!

Previously had the frame powder coated, as well as the headlamp buckets, which with some nice new clips have been fitted.

Cleaned up the Vac pods, but they corrod and go white quite quickly, so i zinc plated them! Not sure you should zinc plate aluminium.

I will soon need to fit the roof, so i laid it out on the roof to allow it to "unfold".

I really like the white with the bronze. Got me thinking that maybe i should do the interior white rather than tan. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ::)

The white with bronze is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! :drool5: :drool5: :drool5: and if it was up to me... I'd leave the saddle tan interior! :2thumbs:

I've always loved that interior color, and it makes a great contrast with the bronze and white. :icon_smile_wink:

Awesome car!  :cheers:

Another vote for the saddle interior, when it's done the right way with the different colors it can't be beat.  :Twocents:

Done some growing up. Not going to do much on this account tho. Doesnt fit the more mature me.

Well, its been a long time since any progress was made, but ive finally got round to painting my engine :)

Something deeply satisfyling about a freshly painted engine!
