Hi all!

I'm located in the California Sierra Nevada foothills near Angels Camp. Moved here almost 30 years ago from San Francisco and not looking back. I've owned this survivor '69 Charger SE since '84 and finally getting around to cleaning it up. The purchase of a car lift really helped instigate some action on this car and also my '56 Ford Ranchwagon. I'm sick and tired of depending on others who seemed to know how. Doin' it myself now that I'm retired and have the time. That usually means lots of time online searching for others who have gone through the same repairs or upgrades. Thank you all who are willing to share!

Hey Tallahassee, here's another shot showing the scar on her left hip, inflicted by my own dump truck recently while backing into the tight garage. Never realized until weeks later what I had done. You probably heard me cursing from Florida. There's many dings and dents that I can live with, but not that one. She's never been painted. All original and I'd like to keep it that way (except for that one).

I would let a PDR guy at them for a while.

99% of PDR guys won't touch a old car because of the thicker metal, PDR just doesn't work good here like it does with thinner cars of today.

Interesting statistic! I would allow one to tell me personally otherwise he may say that 99% of Mopar guys are clueless and have their head up their ***.
 
Welcome aboard, love your Charger! Let's see some more pic's as well as what options she came with.
 
Nice Charger! At my age a lift would be great; but my garage won't cooperate. I'm in the midst of possibly building another garage on my homestead with this in mind. I've had 'shops' do some things on my car as I thought about saving me some time I didn't want to spend pre-retirement and having the funds....and in 2 out of 3 cases that come to mind, I REGRETTED it! There's a saying about this - If it's not their car, they won't work on it like it's THEIR car. Chit - the rework I've spent time on has royally pissed me off where I could have spent less time doing it myself.
 
Welcome from Alabama, really nice Charger. Backing accidents happen a lot more than people realize. I to don't think a PDR person can get that out, but I would ask a few before I gave up on that possibility.
 
Welcome to the show,glad your here and love your Charger.
