73 Charger Restoration Help UPDATING PICS WEEKLY

[newguy]

Hello dodgecharger.com my names Emilio and I just purchased a 73 Charger SE. I purchased the Charger from a fellow chargian forum member 73ChargerSE, now when you purchase a car you now how they say, "When you buy a car, you should buy two, ones your baby the others the one you use for parts and leave out in the rain." Well guess which I got for $1300?? HAHA well it aint that bad, and I ain't resting till this things running! Let Me start off by saying I will be updating this thread daily with fresh pics of how everythings going. And I was a fan of this thread before I even got my Charger and I know with all of your help, my dads restoration knowledge, and thechunk of automotive I know we can get thias thing to a beautiful mango 440 roaring 73 SE. Let me start off with the list:

Exterior:
Needs new paint (original paint)
Needs Vinyl
Couple of dents and scratches, here there nothing really bad
Someone thought itd be cool to add fog lights
Doors are misaligned a little (needs to be raised)
I got plexi glass as a rear window and I need a new front windshield

Interior:
I need one of everthing
I got a  hole the size of Mississppi in my rear pan

Engine:
Has the original 400 2 barrel in it
Needs a Coil and Ignition box and it looks like i should run
Alot seems like it doesnt really need any replacing overral good condition

Suspension:
New Brakes all in all
Replace ball joints is all I can really think of


Overrall I'm really loving this car and I dont really see much that isnt doable. The baby barely has any rust. I alreay got my list on how to do everything to get her running and turning heads HAHA I just want to hear any tips you guys got along the way or anything I shoud do or not do, I wanna keep it as original as possible..... escept for a nasty 440   .... Ive always wanted to post a smiley btw. Thanks alot guys and I cant wait to hear from you!!
