Bought this about 2 months ago on a trip with my good friend Murf to pick up a MexiRam from California.

Put it in storage in Hesperia until I found a cheap flight to LAX and then drove it home to Chicago last week.

LA with a 4bbl, automatic, late model doors and tailgate. Going to clean it up a little, and then probably sell to fund the next project. Need to swap off the Charger wheels and figure out what wheels will work with silver; I can lower it with some Chisolm stuff I have here, or maybe some new van LCAs I scored off eBay a couple years ago.

thoughts?

Looks solid. Dunno how anybody would feel about the late model doors. No way out unless you paint the whole thing.

I don't see it being that big of a deal, and I'm not about to repaint it.

Maybe he means later mirrors on pre 81 doors?
