[69chargerboy]

Went to my dads house for lunch today. I snapped a couple progress pics on my crappy phone camera...

I brought the Charger to my dads house for now, until I get my extra garage built on my house...... It's DONE! Well, just the paint...

I bet you are soooo excited!   I'm excited for you.   What wheels are you going to put on it?

Thanks, I'm looking into buying these Wheel Vintiques billet magnum wheels that are on one of our members Charger.  Below is Keepats 68 Charger, sweet ride, I painted my Charger the same Mercedes Benz color. Billet magnum rims will run around $3500 with tires, center caps, lugs and shipping. I really don't want to spend that cash right now. My only alternative would be to buy 15x8" Road wheels from Specialty Wheels. Those would cost around $1950 with Red-Line tires, trim rings, center caps, lugs, and shipping. Our moderator Chris has these, but a 15x7 on his sweet ride... I'm still undecided, I do favor the billet though.

charger looks nice   ..think i would go for the 15" stock type wheels

i like the stock type wheels also. dont like the low profile tires. very nice charger!

[69chargerboy]

Thank You!    The major factor for me is price. I'm fortunate to afford either ones, I'm still afraid of the current economy and whats to come... I prefer to buy the 18" Billet but I would still be happy with the 15's. And also save around $1500.

I like the 18s myself

[DPL]

Any chance you have more pics of that hemi with the 18's? 

I was thinking the same for my 69 RT but haven't been able to find many pics of a 69 with 18" wheels

[baullz]

Those 18's do look pretty sharp and are the biggest wheel I would ever think of going. 

I've always liked the look of a decent amount of sidewall on a Charger though.

I am going to have a similar look to what Chris has but I think I will go with white letter tires instead of the redlines.

Any way you go though will look d@mn good 

[Ghoste]

If it were mine I would go with the 15's but I have to admit that keepats car looks good.  Just my personal preference is for the other.

[Charger-Bodie]

Heres what every Charger needs! (cause I said so!)

Just kiddin, You need to make it how YOU want it! Period.

I am  restoring a 69 charger also. Am having trouble with alignment of the DS 1/4 panel to the lower corner and then to the rear valance. You had some great pics of your car and I can almost see this area but not quite. Any chance of a close-up pic of that lower corner taken from below the side marker? Or anyone else have a pic? 1st time to this site- it's great. Thanks-

[69chargerboy]

Its been a LONG while since I posted progress pics of the Charger. I'm making great headway on finishing the restoration. I have found the best guy to finish the restoration for me. This guy is a walking Chrysler factory manual. He has restored show winning Mopars, and I was fortunate enough to find him. So, I thought I'd post a few pics of the most current progress. My car isn't a numbers matching trailer queen, I'm going to roll it till the wheels fall off. He just finishing off installing the tti exhaust (forgot to buy the tti tips), kickdown linkages, brake lines, everything in the engine bay. He has to re-do the fuel line, for some reason he had to use a 3/8 fuel line. I'm also thowing in a new aluminum radiator that hasn't come in yet. I started to have everything in the engine compartment to have a "stock" look, but the more I fiddle around with things the more it doesnt look "stock" LOL!

OMG

I love the color. What year and make of Mercedes is the color from?
Are you going to put factory exhaust tips on the car?

Thanks, but I give credit of my choice of the color to Keepat from his 68. The color is from a 2006 Mercedes, but I believe its the same color is used for a number of years. I actually just put the order in to tti for their "stock" clamp on exhaust tips. They look identical to stock, but they have a etched in "tti" logo.
