Looks REALLY good. It's probably not the way the factory did it, but when I get to that step I'm going to have the floorpans painted as well as the underbody.
Hey Bink, what area do you live in and is it colddddd there.
Duda, you have a really nice Charger there! I love the green color. That was super clean to start with. I wonder if you've seen my old buddy's car out there in Vandergrift. His name is Ross and he drives a '70 Blue Coronet 500.
Hunt2elk, yes the car was clean and rust free. The car was parked in a wet hand made stone foundation for 30 years with a dehumidifier running. When I bought the car which took 6 months of dealing the whole valley was bitching at me saying that was to be my car. I can't believe people but cash talks and that's what I had to do to buy the car was literally take a bag of $. The owner would not take a certified check. I am putting the car back with all it's factory equipment just cleaned up and detailed. I had to buy a radio and wheels only every thing else was intact. The carpet, headliner seats door panels were all on the car from the factory and will be reinstalled. When I get my car finished I want to look at it and possibly take a trip to see yours as myself and everyone loves that black.

Roadrunnerh, I will have to look for your buddy's car, I probably seen it a 100 times but just can't place it now. What part of Pittsburgh are you from.

I grew up in Sq. Hill and Greenfield. Now I live in Edgewood/Swissvale.
That's a nice area, now I feel like driving thru there and going to Kennywood. Lol

Excellent find and car. This is the first time I ran across this thread. Love the color and white top. Keep up the good work. My buddy finished his 69 r/t a couple years ago. Red with black interior, vinyl top and stripe, also 440 & 4 speed. Rotisserie and he painted the entire undercarraige red. It's an awesome car. Good luck with your's it's looking great so far.
OMG what a great Christmas present, my car is finally coming together. Sad news is the painter has cancer and never said that's what was taking him so long as he was sick most of every week. We'll here she is
