Scott's 69 charger restoration 2012 *UPDATE 2-2-13*

[lasvegas69charg]

Thanks.  The color is Chrysler graphite(code pdr).  I installed 1" lowering blocks on the rear axle to lower the body 1".  The measurements are 25.5" from ground to fender lip on the rear and 24.5" from ground to fender lip on the front.

Is that color a new color (recent) or from what year?
Do you have pics showing the lowering blocks? Can you also post pics of the rear shackles.
Man I just love the look of your Charger. The stance, the color, the wheels and tires.
Hope you dont mind but this is going to the top of my list of color choice for my 69 Charger resto

[lasvegas69charg]

the color has been with Chrysler for awhile. The first time I seen it was on a viper and I knew that was the color I wanted. The lowering blocks actually came from AutoZone for $32. They had 1,2 and 3". I will get pics tomorrow for you.

Looking sweet. Wish I could get that far that fast on some of my projects.

thanks.  i got her back together in 7 months.

Wow! impressive. I have had my red Charger 22 years & it still never seems like it will ever get finished. I have had my Challenger 5 years & it still doesn't run.

nice work 

[lexxman]

That looks great,I love the color.

[NHCharger]

Wow, the bottom of your car looks spotless, I'd be afraid to drive it. I'm digging the black gas tank

[lasvegas69charg]

thanks. The gas tank was a last minute decision.

[RIDELIKEHELL]

That underside is sweet! Mine is as nice as the exterior as well and as
NHCharger said I too am afraid to drive mine. I just undercoated the wheel wells but will have to get over the fear when the snow melts as I am driving my car this year hard! Looks awesome and I should of painted my tank now that I see yours.

[mopar4don]

Did you use POR15 on the tank?

[Mytur Binsdirti]

Very nice indeed. 

[lasvegas69charg]

thanks, i used single stage flat black on the gas tank.  I have been driving the car everyday...about 80 miles a day. Mpg sucks....10.6 mpg but its better than my hummer at 9.9 mpg.

Chrysler graphite metallic is the paint color and thanks for the compliments.

Scott , great job , your dad would be pleased on the revamp of his old car, I'm doing a similar car in Australia, rolling shell when i got it and missing  everything to the fire wall and dash, up to doing the vent tube pipe hose's ext and noticed in your photo's 1 plastic part in place , do you have photos of the rest , need help with what i am missing, mine like yours is an a/c car have the side vents , not sure what's to be attached to those, i have that plastic tube that go's over the steering column but what connects it the vent.

[lasvegas69charg]

fy469rtse are you talking about the flex hoses that attach to the side vents?

[twenty mike mike]

The bottom of your car looks better than the top of mine.  There just aren't enough superlatives to describe your car. 

What type and color paint did you use on the tail panel?

[lasvegas69charg]

I used flat black single stage for the tail panel
