Pictures of the progress of the AA1 Charger R/T with red/maroon interior I purchased in Nov 2022. This Charger was off the road since 1991. Not a restoration but get everything working and safe to be back on the road. Labor of love to get this back on the road. Can’t wait to drive it this spring.

Rebuilt original switches and radio by Devin. Fantastic guy to deal with. I took an original clock apart and installed a quartz movement.

Ignition time delay light,map light and all other factory lights now work as designed. Found an original am non cut radio bezel. New battery cables,radiator hoses,factory hose clamps,protronix installed,new correct spark plug wires and a fresh set of champions. Rebuilt alternator and installed a new starter. Have a correct looking retro battery kit on the way. Been a fun three months.

Thank you. It’s been a fun 3 months. Can’t wait to driver it as soon as this winter weather gets out of NE Indiana. Many days I had to force myself to get out in the garage and get going lol.
 
Man you've been busy there. Lots of fixes and basic service repairs.

Thank you. Yes it need a lot of fixes but feels awesome to have it all back together to be enjoyed again.
 
Great to see someone getting after it like that. What are the chances of hearing it run?
Maybe a quick tour of the car on video?
 
I know how difficult it is to get a car that’s been sitting awhile, back in shape. Nice work - keep it up. :thumbsup:

Thank you. I didn’t know we could post video on here. I tried one time and could not get the video to save.
