Hello and welcome,
Nice to see someone around a little closer to home. Not many of us around here. Where are you located? I'm right above Antwerp.
Looks like you got yourself a nice project. now the work begins.....

Hi ! I'm in the french side in Belgium near Brussels  In fact my neighbour owns a 69 Charger

[six-tee-nine]

Gee thats cool.

Your neigbour a member here?

[ELLIOT]

My hood need some patchwork ! Have is selling is 1970 Hood (impossible to reuse it on another 1970 Charger) So I was thinking to buy it to take parts from it !

The sheetmetal that I need is where the hood signal lenses goes ! Are those the same for 1969 and 1970 ?

Your neigbour a member here?

Acutally no 

[Lennard]

No, not the same. 68-69 hood is completely different from a 70 hood.

Congratulations on your acquisition.  I'm a former Belgian so I know how hard it is to get a Charger over there.
