About this Mopar:

Year
1969
Make
Dodge
Model
Charger R/T S/E
Inherited last year after my father's passing. He had it in storage since 1980's and never got around to restoring it. He was a mechanic and a huge Mopar fan. Always said he'd fix it up when he retired but unfortunately passed at the age of 62. Numbers matching, 440 4-speed car. Needs a lot of work, but starting to bring it back to life. Any advice is welcome as I'm completely new to restoration work.

Also it appears at some point there was a moulding running down the length of the side of the car, was this a factory option? Ive never seen another Charger with this. Posted a pic where you can see the old glue lines.

Just the two I posted for now. They were taken a few years back when he brought it home to do the disk brake conversion. When I get it out of storage in the next month I'll be taking lots of pics
