Congrats.   You can tell I like non vinyl Plum Crazy 70's....

So happy for you Don as I too have followed your threads in all forms! Cheers to you and everyone who was invloved in this build. It gives me more spirit to get my 68 done

Congrats....btw how tall are you...I'm 6'3" and by ther look of it I'm going to be a tight fit in my Charger 

Thanks everyone.

I'm just a tad over 6'1". The six way seat sits noticeably higher than the standard seat rail assemblies. I haven't had time to experiment with the adjustments to get the optimal seat height/angle yet.

Good luck with that.  I had the six way in my Challenger & I used to be 5' 10"ish & my head would hit the roof.  Never did like that about that car, tried all sorts of settings.  The only thing I liked about the 6-way was I could rock it back when it came time to transfer my chair across the front of me to the pass. seat.

I never realized how close the door scoops on 70 chargers come close to the front fender when the door opens..

Let me go on record for the zillionth time that I absolutely love 1970 Charger R/T's!  (those who follow my posts already know this so its really no secret)

Now you include an SE optioned car..., plum crazy....., and a six pack! Its PERFECT! 

Wow!    A stunning car and equally stunning restoration.  You should be very proud.

I'd love to see her at Carlisle.

Thanks everyone, and Bill not sure it measures up to your beauty though. 

Yesterday I got a nice surprise....the Moparfest selection committee advised me that my car will be displayed in the indoor arena. I had always hoped but was never sure it would get picked. At least a Charger will be "representing" among all the e-bodies this year. Now I just have to finish the darn thing

Congrats on being chosen.  That's really cool.    The car is awesome.

Looks terrific!

I on the other hand I myself am trying to work thru more gremlins with mine. Now Im getting a definate clicking on the passenger side of the motor at idol. I thought it just might be an exhaust gasket leak but i'm not detecting any blow by around the exhaust or connection pipe. sounds like it might be coming from the left head.

don, that's a very nice sound coming from your charger.

70charginglizard, don't worry hope everything's ok with your resto its like planting a tree, the greater fruit would come when you have put blood and sweat into growing it.
