Don's 1969 Charger Restoration

I started out by making templates of the pass side stop. Just flip the templates over and you have the drivers side.
So I did a bit of cutting and bending then clamping and test fitting

So I needed a way to hold it on so I kind of boxed the one side in

here it is tacked

and fitted onto the door

So I realized the metal piece that I added on the back side was NOT going to work!
With it on, I would never be able to get it off!
So I removed it, and added this piece.

and this piece

Here is what I have so far. And comparing to the pass side... I am in the ballpark

So after a LOT more fitting this is what I ended up with

So I plan on panel bonding it and using a couple of rivets to secure it.
Hopefully it will hold!
 
I made my tabs out of JB Weld and fiberglass. If they don't hold up I know what to do. It looks good!
 
It's time for some paint!
I got the brackets epoxy primed

and the rest of the parts in primer

If you look closely you can see the rivet on the metal door stop

I know all about fixing those busted up 69 grills, it almost seams like people used them for a ram! That turned out fantastic, looking at the pics you can't tell it was ever damaged.:thumbsup:
 
Grill looks great Don! I remember well all the time it took to do mine.
 
Those grill parts look great Don, better than factory. Thanks for sharing.
 
Thanks guys for the kind words!
I think this took me 4-6 months to get it finished. A lot of the time was waiting to get into the booth.
I am SO glad that is over with! And very pleased how it turned out!
