hey guys whats going on, my names pete and i finally got myself an old muscle car, a mopar at that. ever since i was a young kid probably like 12-13 years old ive wanted to restore or just build a car, and it just so happen that i loved 69 chargers more so than other cars. fast forward to now almost 21 still itching to get a car and liking mopars more everyday, i come across this 69 coronet deluxe a little rough mostly original but a good start, just picked it up and have ideas going through my head. im finding websites for parts that i need, but it seems like the interior and frontend are kinda missing, what do i do about this? i dont know how it came apart nor do i know what actually might go there. what do you guys recommend i do? i need to start gathering parts and start fixing the rust. typical areas though floors trunk a quarter but its not too bad. heres some pics let me know what you guys think thanks!

welcome. Good to see some guys my own age on here. What are your plans for the build?

well originally i wanted to resto mod it, goals were to have a street car looked near stock besides for the wheels that ran 9's. but its a big car and i kinda want to restore it and have a fun street car that can run on pump, make it look awesome with the right stance and all. but we will see its got a 318 in it now, gonna put a 4speed in since it was orig. a 3 on the tree car.

good call. You'll have more fun with a streetable daily driver. Gives you a little more freedom to show off and have some fun IMO. good luck with things and keep us updated!
