Wow beautiful job.  I love the white top, interior and pistol grip.  Super job.
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

I really like that stance. Very nice looking ride you have there.  You did a great job on that.

Sure am glad you all like this one.  Everyone has their own preferences but at the end of the day, its a Charger - period.

This was a 1.5 year project that involved most of that time getting the body done.  If I was to recommend anything to any of you who may be restoring their cars themselves, it would be this:

Take your time with the body work!  Don't leave any area untouched.

Oh, and borrow the mac daddiest spray gun you can get your hands on.  I used a SATA and wow...3 coats of base, 5 coats of pearl and 6 coats of clear.  All in one day!!!!

Your car looks great. With a car as perfect as a 69 Charger it's easy to mess it up when you modify it. Yours looks really good.

And a big massive thanks to this board for helping me along the way.

This should give hope to any backyard restorers like myself.

I did everything body, paint, engine, everything all myself with help along the way from great buddies and lots of beer.

wow real impressive love the color combo and the stance!!!!!

I love it! I had heard that color was pretty involved but it looks like the end result was worth it.

It's been said by many others, but it  bears repeating: great job!  The Lambo yellow with the white top and interior are tremendous.
