My family did the opposite; I was born in Illinois but we moved out here when I was a child.

I hear ya. Fortunately, they haven’t done anything retroactive as it’s all been prospective restrictions. I can’t say for certain, but I expect that to remain.

Very nice '70 Charger. I'm intrigued by your take on the front grille. I've seen a big-buck resto-mod of an all-black Charger with a similar treatment, but lacking the pop-up headlights, which is an all-important feature of the second-gen Chargers. I wouldn't say I'm a fan of having the headlights always visible, but I did a similar grille mod using powdercoated aluminum hex mesh, cutting out 4 sections of my existing broken grille and repairing some of the remaining sections, while still keeping the pop-up headlight covers. With the stupid cost to buy and ship a repro grille, we have to be creative sometimes, and I like your mod job too!

When I got the car, the grill was removed and didn’t come with the headlight motor, shaft, hardware etc. I saw what I think you are referring to on that black restomod Charger and wanted to at least try replicating that before I obtained the parts necessary to get the fully working headlight doors. It took me a very long time to figure out how to mount it and finding mesh that was long enough (and aluminum) was difficult to find. We’ll see if I keep it like this or not, but I am pretty happy with how it came out. With this car, my goals were never to bring back to original glory, but to modernize it/ make slightly different. I like what you did with your grill!Very nice '70 Charger. I'm intrigued by your take on the front grille.

Thanks, and we both agree on doing something different with our Chargers to make them stand out.
