Well there's not much to say except that l bought a 69 charger 383 engine auto trans column shifter buddy seat between buckets. Car didn't look bad till l got it home and started finding all kinds of problems. Rear frame rails trunk floor front floor pans torsion bar crossmember rotted and lots of bondo. l live in the rust belt area and suppose to of been stored in a garage for 30 years but my guess is 20 out in the yard and ten in a garage. l've already replaced both frame rails, trunk floor, shock support cross member,fuel tank filler neck, spring shackles and perches ,rear cross member, right rear quarter,both front floor boards, and one front frame rail and the search for the end of the tunnel goes on. haven't figured out to post photos just yet and l have a lot of them to post Oh found it hope it works

Welcome! There's plenty of help here to tap into. Start a thread to keep track of your progress, it will keep you motivated as you go back an look where you came from!
One positive to take away is that at least you have a car that has just about every part repopped....some are not quite as lucky!

Welcome to FBBO from SoCal. A good coat of wax should get her looking just like new.....
 
Welcome, looks like you will be busy. But you have a car worth working on and you can get almost any piece of metal for it.
Stick with it hope it turns out the way you would like. You will have something to be proud of.
