My 68 Charger - A Work In Progress

[66ChargerHI-PO]

Seeing it was a crappy rainy day today, decided to plug the holes from PO's who attached the coil to the inner fender.

Gotta wait for a better day to clean, prime & paint.

great job.

great job.

Thanks! Anything I did was an improvement over what it looked like. While it's not perfect I'm satisfied with the results.

A car buddy of mine told me about a really good match for cadmium in a rattle can for my windshield wiper motor so redid it today.

Also shined up my headers. Thought they were gray but turns out I was wrong.

Rebel a good start. You'll need candy red and candy green and practice to finish job see video.

Looks good! You should have read my Bee restoration thread .. as Champagne Pearl is closer.. I wasn't paying to get mine plated either...

Great progress! I hadn't bothered with my wiper motor, but that's an easy fix, I'll add it to the list.

Funny thing is I read it but had no recollection that you did the same thing, lol.

Seeing it was a rainy and misty day, did some upholstery repairs on my front seats. It might not look 100% perfect but certainly looks better than it did.

I put some black shoe polish on top to blend is any area's that had the white underlining showing thru.

Ordered a window sticker from these guys, top notch product.
Home - Triple A Enterprises (window-sticker.com)

Based on my Fender Tag/Build Sheet. The only unknown was the dealership so I picked Garrity. If I ever find out where my car was delivered, I'll order a new one.

Quick project this am before I went to work thanks to @Richard Cranium for pointing out I needed the hood blackout decals.

Purchased from DCS, flat Black per factory spec's.
