Bolted on the valance and test fitted the chin spoiler today.

Also welded in the 4 speed hump. And discovered my brand new shifter handle is for console, not floor mount. Don't know why I never realized those 2 90* bends weren't going to work. It's so obvious now.

Slowly but surely.

Painted the grill frame and grill and polished the trim over the weekend.

Also sanded down the bumper since it was pitted. Used 320 grit on the DA, then used rough, intermediate and final polishing compounds. There are still a lot of scratches on it and it looks rather blotchy. But it's much better that it was before. It will do until I can afford a new one.

Bolted on the hood tonight. Managed to chip the front passenger's corner. Oh well, it will touch up. There are some minor fitment issues that I hope will go away once the rubber bumpers are installed. Still looks amazing though!

Awesome progress with the car!!!  Keep it man that car is going to turn out great!!!

Thanks!
I got the stripe from Performance Car Graphics based on a recommendation from a member here.

It's the custom color "Flat Black Avery"

Awesome job!

Yesterday I pushed the Charger outside for the first time since it has been painted. It looks downright mean. 
Got the chin spoiler attached, cleaned and painted the blinkers. And polished and bolted on the bumperettes.
Also bolted on the rear bumper, cleaned and put in the tail lights and reverse lights. I don't have any photos of that stuff yet.

The photo is pretty close to the stance I want. I put 300lbs of concrete in the trunk to drop the back end down. Probably my next mini-project will be to pull the rear end, move the spring perches over for clearance and install the lowering blocks.

Here's a photo before I put the taillights in.

Sorry for the bad quality. All I had was a cell phone yesterday.

When you get a chance take a front pick of that spoiler.  I am diggin that and may want one!

[PtitRaisin]

What a beauty!

[plasticman-32]

tell us more about your front spoiler 

[chaos52]

The spoiler is for a 68 Camaro. There's lots of information about them in this thread: http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,69474.0.html

You can use the spoiler for 68 or 69. Apparently the 69 is slightly smaller. I went with the 68 because for whatever reason Summit doesn't charge an extra $20 for oversize shipment on that one. They do for the 69.

Progress from this weekend...

Installed the petals and got the clutch linkage installed and operating. Also took apart the brake booster from the '70 parts car. Somehow it was full of mud and water. I'm not sure it's good anymore. I haven't decided what to do yet. A new one might be the best way to go. I need a new master cylinder too.

Also finished polishing and installing the taillight trim. Started working on the door seals and mechanisms too.

There are also a couple photos of my homemade sway bar mounts. They've been done for awhile, but I never took any photos.

Also, more detailed photos of the spoiler. I drilled 2 holes in the valance - one on each end. Then put a bolt through an existing slotted hole in the center.
