AMD Charger.  :lol: I like that! :cheers:.

The car is privately owned. SPEED does not own it.

Dan (and the AMD installation crew),
Great job! Until I saw those pictures of disassembly and reassembly I didn't realize that the car was that baddly rotted. It appears you must have used every single piece of sheetmetal AMD makes. I love the way the car turned out! I doubt that many people would have taken on such a huge challenge. thanks for saving another Charger from the scrapyard!
If I had a '69 Charger that needed all that sheetmetal work, what do you guess it would cost for a.) new AMD sheetmetal and b.) labor at the AMD installation center? Just curious.
By looking at the pictures I am impressed with the shop and the work they put out at the AMD installation center.

Not to be a nit picker , but I see 2 things that I dont really care for:

1) the Radiator support upper tie bar has the wire holders still in place ,which are for the non-Charger B-body cars.

2) The gold unpainted bolts holding it together. They should be painted boy color as the cars where painted together at the factory.


Awesome job though guys!!! Charger in a box.

Where is the radio antenna?

Shouldn't the lower part of the inner door (below the door panel) be painted to match the doorpanel color? It appears to be the copper exterior color.

These are some of the things I'm learning. I wish I had found this site earlier during the build.

We also have the Antenna. But, it would only be for looks. The SONY audio system runs off a Walkman or Ipod. It can also hook up to a smart phone. The audio system is completely hidden... you'll see how we did that later this year.

Dan,

Just one thing (aside from what has been mentioned already) that popped out at me..... the wiper blades!!!!  Why did you use black wiper blades instead of the correct brushed look original Trico ones?  Trico makes replacement classic style wiper blades.  I think I got mine at Rockauto.com if I remember right.
