   waiting on the proper kickdown linkage to arrive so I can connect things properly and not have the kickdown bar hit the drop base!      the carb is an easy tuner though!

looks great! where in ct are you from?

[projectanimal]

I'm in the Farmington valley.... Simsbury/canton line!

Its been a while since my last update.... busy with things, but able to get moving on some parts making it feel like it won't be ling before it see's the open the road! 

Almost finished with package tray, trim starting to go on, front grill test but need to hammer out some dents on the bumper, rear bumper installed!  installed some of the dash pieces, and the glass is slowly going back in.  had a local guy lined up to install the rear glass but I noticed i'm missing all the lower clips for trim, so I'll get those ordered and installed first.  While installing the front trim I noticed there is no lower trim clips there either.. ... with the windshield in is there a way to install clips, or is it best to silicone the trim into place?!?!?

a few pictures!

it must be nice having an interior 

LOL --- yes, it is!   it was the nicest part of the car when we found him!  the previous owner had recovered all the seats, but then the car sat with open windows for a very long time...     the rest of the interior was missing..... over 2 years we've been able to find a lot of parts though!

Front bumper is once again reunited with the car!!   still have a few adjustments, but very happy with how it came out.  found an old photo from when we went to look at the car over 2 years ago, great before and after.  trim is on and the badges...it's officially a Charger!      now on to the interior......

[projectanimal]

after adjusting bumper....   
made my own brackets for the fuel line and ran it away from the hot manifold (was resting on top)...

Looking better every time you post

[Dino]

What a transformation!  Great work!   

[projectanimal]

Thanks guys!!
Can't wait to get cranking on the Interior.   

[FlatbackFanatic]

Its looking great!!!

[Silver R/T]

Nice resto, its coming together nicely.

[projectanimal]

It's been a while since I've been able to give an update... Life has been busy!  We added the decals, and after weeks of playing with the windows I finally have them close.   Took it out today for its first bath and shot a little video! 

Enjoy!

AWESOME SOUND!!!! 

[Stevearino]

Nicely done. Hard to believe that Dodge only sold 40,000 in 1970. That's one good looking car.

[projectanimal]

Thanks guys!  Hope to give more updates and spend more time back on here!
Cheers
