1969 r./t se charger total restro

[CHARGERSTEVEN]

Havent updated for a while n just need some info on painting the grill sections.is the trim on the head lite covers a gray paint or chrome like finish.the inside off the front grill looks a lite gray in colour, can anyone direct me to the rite colour combos from that the factor used. Im sure ive read in other post but this seems easier n quicker.

If you go through speedfreaks resto thread quick he has a good section in there for the grill work he did and I believe lists all the products used.

Good to see you're plugging away Steven!

I came across these markings on the sides of the engine block, n was wondering if they mean anything, looks like they were painted on after the engine was painted.

 

[CHARGERSTEVEN]

THIS IS what i did the last couple days was work on fixing the drivers side front fender, put a lower heal patch,n took apart the front nose n fixed it n weld all the holes from previous fix

 

[CHARGERSTEVEN]

The last pic was from a car show that is a 68 charger style sitting on a 300 frame I have more pics n will load latter

 

[CHARGERSTEVEN]

Wondering what the proper way to put front seatbelt bracket on, on the front floor pan underneath is it the first pic or

dont weld any thing till all your gaps are good doors an trunk lid they need to be all dry fitted probably should have been done first before removing 1/4s
