Getting close! 74 SE

[RogerDodger]

Its been 7 years in the making. I bought this in 2003 at Goodwill! 74 SE with sunroof. I have done all the work myself (rust repair, body work, paint, freshen up the motor, exhaust, interior...) My favorite change was moving the bumpers in and loosing the rubber fillers and bumperettes. I wish I did something with those ugly side marker lights. I still have a few interior things left to do. They're never 100% done. I was 14 when I bought my first car. A 72 SE. It sure is great to be out on the road in a Charger!

Looks Great!   Tell us about the bumpers and what it took to get them from chrome to colored.
I am going to black out my grill as well

I sanded them with the DA and primed with epoxy primer. Also welded all the bolts and ground them off smooth first.

Man, I also love the work you did on that charger   

[E5 Charger]

Wow, are you sure that's the same car. Great job! I want to move in my bumpers also I know I have to get 72 rear bumper brackets, but how much did you have to lengthen the bolt holes on the front brackets?

Awesome job with it!


But you gotta lose the hood ornament, bro...

[ODZKing]

Beautiful.  Ha, the hood ornament was the only thing I kept from my 73.

I hear you! I overlooked that one. Easily fixed with a bulge hood!

Looks great!  You can sand blast the chrome bumpers prior to painting.  I found that a little easier than the DA

also lost the hard to find rubber trim between the fenders hood and bumper by elongating the bumper bracket mounting holes and pulling the bumper in.

Looks Great! I hate that rubber filler. Especially 35 year old rubber fillers.
