hey guys it's official . she's coming home on Friday. then my backyard bodyshop will finish her . rear window is in and chrome is on . wing is on and wing washers and brackets are installed . remember all this stuff has to come off later for paint. this is a great car all original metal even the trunk floor ,

if any body needs a complete 69 charger front end, fenders, hood with turn signals in it, bumper ,valance, parking lights . grill and working hide away headlights complete. this one will be for sale next week when we take it off the car. Rene

Great. The best part about the front end work on your car is not having to fight with assembling the nose. It's taking me forever to get this one of mine right.
Of course, I made things more difficult by making my pivots and cams from scratch. You should have seen the look on my wife's face when I put the vacuum to them and they came up. Kind of bothers me that she was so surprised that it worked though.  :icon_smile_big:

Keep the pics coming.

I forgot to pick up the one that Howie has. I was goiing to copy it. I'll try to get back up there and borrow it. Might just have to make two of them.
Mike G. has a couple of them I think if you need one right away. I just ordered a few parts from him for my car.

i was thinking of going with this one and getting it 2 inches bigger . since i'm going with 8 inch steel  rims like on the bee . and big fat nascar tyoe goodyear tires . the bigger spoiler will match that nascar look.

Looks GREAT Rene!  So which going to be the higher priority for you now - bond with the SuperBee, or work on the Daytona?

:P

Don't forget about DC.com member Pete Veight (Wingnut426), he makes a spot-on hold down bracket.

me and my southern belle are well bonded already. i think she was home sick for a little while. she made some new mopar pals and she's starting to have a good time  here in the north east . i took her out for her first run out on the highway . about an hour. it wasn't perfect . the gauges stopped working and the brakes got spongy. i think i have some air left in them but i made it home and we both Had a good time . when i got her up to speed a bunch of  Ark leafs come flying out from under the dash  :rofl:  I'm taking her to the whiskey on Saturday. she told me she was ready to leave Larry. he liked his other cars better then her and wouldn't even take her out for a drink anymore. i told her it was OK and gave her a drink. i full tank of 93 octane .
we're plenty bonded already .

so i can work on the Daytona during the day and play with my southern belle at nite.  :2thumbs:

i just sent Wingnut a email . I've dealt with him before . he's a nice guy . Rene

Mike's been working 16 to 18 ours a day lately with restorations. If you e-mail him, he'll get back with you in a few days. I can't wait for the parts that I ordered from him to arrive.
It's like Christmas every day around here.  :icon_smile_big:

I'm glad the bee is finally settling in.
I miss seeing her sitting in the shop, but I know that it's for the best. She just didn't receive the attention that the other cars around here did.
It was always cool having the b5 bee and the b5 runner sitting side by side. The runner looks a little lonely now.
