It's been five years, but the car of my dreams is just about done. Had the body all done and painted over the course of five months. Completed all the engine work back in the spring the right way. Now the car runs like a dream. Couple of things to note, yes I know the door panels are gtx/satellite plus, but I dig wood grain and installed those. Yes, those exhaust tips technically belong on a 71-72 charger, but I wanted the longer machine gun tips. Anyway, things I did with the car:

-Removed strobe stripe (original car did not have it)
-Removed go wing and chin spoilers (original car did not have it)
-Removed hood pins (original car did not have those)
-New chrome front bumper (original bumper will be hung in my garage)
-Installed new cam, headers, and a few dealership goodies (paperwork and literature including an actual blank order form)

The car is 90% done. The dash is a cap since the original has a slight hairline crack. The instrument rallye cluster rings need to be re-chromed. Seat belt buckle covers are missing on the front seats. Everything else has been checked off the list!

Just some cool things about my car.
-1 of 14 with the A35 trailer tow package
-Radio delete (no cutout in rallye panel or antenna hole)


Enjoy!

Beautiful. Love the 71's. Design by Chrysler's Visionary stylist John Herlitz. Looks great in green.
 
Does it have a factory trailer hitch?

That is a great looking ride bud! As far as the door panels, or anything else, its your ride build it the way you want, your the one getting in it and having the fun you worked for.. Great work man!
 
Very job, I love the green. It's your car do it the way you like. Be wear of the idiots who are going to tell you the parts are incorrect. Beautiful ride.
