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.

Parts and a little more interior stripping

Made the trip to National Moparts in Orillia, Ontario to get a few things today. Picked up new carpet, headliner, headliner insulation, sill plates, sill plate extensions, seat bolts, rubber floor grommets, and some new front arm rests for the Charger. Got home and went to work pulling down the old headliner. Mice had shredded the insulation and made two large nests in the ceiling. After getting it all cleaned up, realized I'm going to have to research how to put in the new one, it was quite a process getting the old one down. Anyways, one small step closer. How do these front clips by the windshield come out? I ended up just cutting the headliner around them. Also, this is all the mice left me of my Broadcast paperwork... :(

those clips will pull out bu I would recommend leaving them alone. They are kinda a one time use deal. If you end up with one or several clips that won’t stay in you can drill a 1/8 hole and put a aluminum pop rivet in them and no one will ever notice with all the trim and windshield in

Started removing interior

Got the seats, console, and carpet out to have a look at the floor. A few holes, but honestly better than I was expecting.

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

Just seen this and sorry for your loss. Have fun and take your time. Ask questions and like Eric said bag/tag EVERYTHING. Take pics and then take a bunch more. I have a thread on my charger and Im on 3 1/2 years and just started to put back together. My car will not be a show car . DaveK

Welcome to being a 1969 Charger R/T SE owner. Got a big project in front of me. Still collecting parts for it almost 12-13 years later. Real B7 1969 Charger R/T SE with a full fender tag. One more option would have thrown it over to a second fender tag.
