[cordodge]

Thank you,,

Plan is to paint the Challenger A4 silver,,especially after seeing your car 

I have a black interior ready to go,,,,but the red is killer.

Visiting Detroit with my sons hockey team,,,,stopped to see Roseville Moparts...picked up new floor pans, rear valence, new hinges, complete front suspension kit. 
Dave has been great to work with

It's been a few months since any posts. I have the car down to a roller now. All the glass is out. Drivetrain, interior, trim, dash, etc. The car is going to get Soda Blasted next week, then to the body and paint shop.
Some pics....

Found 2 build sheets for the car, one under the seat, and a second behind the glove box.


Heater box coming out




Dash and heater out...


The Dash is all disasembled, the dash pad is tore up, and needs to be replaced as well



Grill is washed up, need to start restoring it.


Rear tail piece

Looking good. Glad you found the second build sheet.  You can never have too much documentation.

just looking back thru the pics,wow that thing is in nice shape.the rear finish panel looks mint, please send some pics after the blasting also did you sell the 65?  thx bruce

wow.... it is super clean 

[69CHARGERMD]

Thanks guys,,,I need to get out to the soda blaster,,,,hoping for a dry day,,,Car is surprisingly clean. It's been in California all it's life,,,,
Needs a trunk pan, and what ever else is found during blasting,,,but it's original paint, and never been apart before that i can tell,,,,so hopefully no major surprises.
I found all kinds of stuff from the 70's in it,,,ticket stub from Disney World,,,,Business cards with California addresses,,parking stickers,,,etc,
It is a Western Sport Special car ( made in Hamtramck,,,but shipped and sold new in California )
Have the original owners paper work and documents and maintenance that he did on the car.
The trim, grill, dash, etc all need to be redone,,,

Bruce, still have the 65 for sale ( that car would look good sittin in your driveway,,,let me know

thanks guys,,,
