Post some pics in the sun if it ever comes back out then you can call it quits on this thread.

Once I get the final details done to it I'll post some final pictures.
If I wait for the sun to come out I'll have to hit it on one of the three day's that there is sun
10 inches of snow here now and it was 80 degrees last week.

The 'Cuda is looking great!  That's good news it ran well and as for your seats, did you try heating them up with a hair dryer before installing them? (Or a couple hours under the sun, but that doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon.)  That usually seems to get most of the packaging wrinkles out before installing them.

Hi everyone
Thought I'd check-in and add a couple of pictures as it's been a while.
I got the exhaust installed and the suspension aligned.
Got to drive it home today from the suspension shop
There are a couple of thing to do yet and alot of cleaning.
The shifter has a rattle and it still needs a final engine check and fine tuning.
Spring time stuff is keeping me away from working on it much but it is getting close.

Dave, What you have done is nothing short of fabulous IMO.    It appears that you have done a very accurate resto. What sources did you use for reference? Is this a keeper or are you planning to put it on the market?  Thanks for keeping us up on your progress...very inspiring.

Hi  and thanks for the support.
The car was surprisingly original so for the most part it was just reproducing the marks and detailing what was there.
I will probably keep this one for a while since I sold the 71  green Challenger that was in my avatar this week.
I still have my wife's car to do  and I want to keep a finished car to drive until it's done.

OH yeah I'll start a new thread, you guy's can't get rid of me that easily
My problem is I'm not sure yet which car to do next. I have her car and a 70 Challenger.
The 70 is very rust free and would be much easier to do but I promised her I'd do her car which is very ruff and will take a lot more time and money.
The plan for her's is a 5.7 Hemi and modern interior so there will be a lot of fab work.I've started fitting a 300 dash to it.Also plan a complete 300 interior.
The 70 is just a 318 soon to be a big block. But I have several people wanting to buy it. I'm a little burnt out right now and don't want to give it up just yet.
I'll probably start  one in the fall,there is just too much going on right now to begin one now.

Here is a Photobucket slideshow for all the pictures.
