You have a great color combo! But it is your car, so do what you want....you can always change it back. I am tired of my triple black, stripe delete R/T. I want to remove the vinyl top & add the red R/T tail stripe....if I hit the lottery maybe change the auto to a 4-speed! I think the black around your tail lights and the current color & stripe are KILLER! Keep us updated and good luck!  TC

I've always like that combo, but it does make it more...timid I suppose is the word I'm looking for.  Personally I'd stick with the saddle interior and body color but lose the top.

T3 & saddle are cool, especially with a black top.  Trust me.

K i found it well if the car is all done i will bring it up i have to get the interior done kinda embarrassing to bring it up with the interior in that shape.


Don't ever be embarrassed of your rig.  It's one of the best looking rides' in & out that was ever built.

So many people have changed the color on their tan, green, pale yellow, brown rides that you don't see them anymore.  That's why everyone says to stay with the original colors'.  Sure you can paint it the color of your dreams, but then you gotta hope when you pull up somewhere you're not the 3rd or 4th black, red or blue 2nd gen. Charger & if it was a '70, it'd be purple   :D.  I can almost guarantee that if you go to that same place with your current color combination, you'll have the only one.

I don't know, maybe you'd like having a belly button car?   :shruggy:   I know I don't.   :icon_smile_wink:

Your rig's cool man.  I'd leave it the way it is & be proud of it.   :thumbs:

Here's some pics of the engine bay.Their is no rust at all, its just the shadows and the colour making it look like rust on the edges. I'm going to replace the battery tray its got acid and buildup all over it also gonna take out windshield wiper motor get it rebuilt and painted proper colour (black) also the evap canister needs to be repainted. I question i have does the battery tray stay black or where they painted the colour of the car. Thanks[img][/img]

Looks like the under-hood area just needs a good cleaning and a little paint touch-up to be right! Congrats on a very nice Charger.

The battery tray should be body-color as it was painted with the car from the factory.

If it were me, I would have dropped the K frame & all.  Already that far & it's not that much more work.  It's just having the proper jack assembly & carts that makes it tough.

I think you'd have to buy a new harness.
