You all are amazing! Thanks for all of the input!

Looking at the ICON pistons now and noticed that they are designed for Indy, Edelbrock, and OE style heads. Seems like a good starting point. Im making notes of all of this to bring to the engine shop and get their recommendations as well. They're doing the cleaning, inspection, and...

Holy smokes, that was a lot of information to process. Thank you to everyone who has replied so far! To answer a couple of the questions so far: Yes, the block will be decked, but I don't know the final number they'll need to shave off just yet. The heads I'm looking at, assuming they'll ever...

Is thing along the lines of what you're referring to? KB Performance Hypereutectic Piston Set

I hope that I'm not duplicating a previous question, but I couldn't find the answer I was looking for on the forums. The engine shop called me today and said the '69 383 is rebuildable, but they will need to bore it 40 over and deck it. No surprise there, as it was locked up when I get the...

Continuing disassembly

Engine is original, transmission is not. For that reason my plan/hope is to rebuild the 383 and pair it with a SilverStone 5-speed. I don't want to go full restomod, but a couple of modern touches will be nice IMO.

The block has been completely disassembled now. My non-professional opinion is that it doesn't look terrible and the primary concern would be any corrosion within the water jackets. I called around this morning to some engine shops for quotes on hot tank and magnaflux (much more...

That's all part of my game plan, so good to know I'm on track!

A few more

Been a few months, since I've been able to do anything, but yesterday I pulled the motor. There were two broken valves, but no visible damage to cylinder walls or pistons. Perhaps just corrosion from sitting for 30 years? Definitely had rodents nesting inside of it at some point so there's a...

That's gorgeous. My last 3 vehicles have been black and I agree that nothing looks better when they're clean, but keeping them that way is a PITA!

Out of curiosity, what determines if the tail light panel is black or color-matched?

I've always wanted to do a black-on-black build, but considering this one is numbers matching, I may have to go with the original turquoise with white interior and white vinyl top. I'm sure I have plenty of time to make that decision

I took delivery on Friday of my Q5 '69 Charger. Happy to report that it's really solid and not missing much, but still needs a ton of TLC. Little man is stoked about working on it, but my wife says I can't until our bathroom renovation is done. So until that time, here are a few day 1 photos.

I've been using that handle across forums and games for years now. Maybe I have aspirations of being a mod one day

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. She's rough, but appears solid. Some panels have already been replaced as a couple of you mentioned, and there were also repairs around the rear window and sails. '69 Charger has always been a dream of mine, so I'm looking forward to the work and making...

What's wrong with my handle?

Gorgeous car! Welcome from the Florida panhandle!

I don't know.... Always envisioned black-on-black, but seeing as so much of the car is matching, I'm considering the original turquoise and white combo!
