make sure they have the 1/4 panel extensions, the u shaped end caps, so they can be fitted properly.

I did, thanks Charlie for making sure tho.. Even bought new oem gaskets and attach nuts. Also gave them the stock trunk lid to check fit with the extensions. But I'm not getting the stock trunk lid or hood painted because I'm going with glastech ones which I'll bring back to get them painted later, may leave them flat/stealth black for a while. I cleaned up the stock trunk lid and painted it with the "all u need" primer and will store it away along with a lot of other parts I'm not using but want to keep.

Progress is progress and at least you have it going. Once you see the whole car in primer you will be able to see and feel the fruits of all your hard work.

Might want to get the fiberglass to them. I've had Fiberglass stuff that didn't match steel parts.

Yep, good point. I should have bought them instead of the dash pads and gauge cluster, now my funds are too low. I still might have time to get them before he shoots. Originally I thought it would be less work for the painter without them now and help keep my bill lower. But they won't need much prep so maybe he'll do them for a tad more.

Fur Sher!
Funny, at the time of selling each one of the 3 -70RR's I had, I never thought they would ever climb in value. I would sell one and put the money into the next one, until I grew bored with that last one. I sold it and used the money for building new and different toys, Harleys!
Some street, and some strip..

Bicentennial Special! Old hogs are cooool! Like old Mopars!

Look what Santa brought. I like the old classic Grant style. Had one on my last mopar 30+ years ago. The n2o button will fit nice in the small hole by my thumb. I also had one like this set-up with the button on my drag boat.

You got a heck of a deal on that car. I wish you the best of luck on your build.

This evening makes 3 years since I started this thread, seems like yesterday in some ways and forever in others.
My new year's resolution is to get my car finished!, or at least running.
Thanks to everyone for helping me so far, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Here's a nice vid to enjoy if you haven't ever seen it.>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmHOUJjnHuE

 

[Superfreak]

Good luck with your resolution. Go for the gusto and get it done.

 

[daytona kid]

What size rims do you guys think are on the back of that charger in the vid?
I'm guessing 15x10.

If you want it straight everything ends up being coated. Bondo is less brittle and cheaper than primer. We always start with a skim coat.
