Worked on the glass last night.
First time with AMD glass. Is wavy on top edge as everyone mentioned but overall I am pretty happy. The fit was good except when installing the chrome strips. They went on very difficult which I guess is good that they wont fall off like original ones usually do.

My only issue so far is that I need to find out how to get the glass to roll down flush with the door. It is up about 1/2 to 3/4" inch when I am all the way down cranking. I will mess around with it tonight.

Thanks Guys.

This is my first charger build and I am pretty sure I will have to build another one... Really love the lines on this car!
Every part I add just keep bringing the car together.
Back down to the garage tonight to put in the other side glass and tackle the windshield next.

For some reason I think the E bodies go together a little quicker than the B bodies.

But it has been warm so maybe before the white stuff up

Yes. Worked all of the long weekend on it. Getting very close to firing it up. TTI showing up this week. Here are a few updates. Using existing upper door pads as they are crazy expensive and I am not having great luck with some of the repro stuff. Its great that we have the parts but boy a lot of it needs some tweaking...

Thanks Finoke.

Unfortunately this is my "keep the hobby going car".

I typically try to build cars that I like however not really, really like. This charger is my favorite build so far out of many, many cars I have built. I will hate to see it go.

I have another 68 Charger R/T that is an R6, black gut, 4 speed, dana car. It is rough, very rough. After doing this one I am going to have to get that car up and running for a keeper. You can just make it out behind the black one in this pic.

Interior nearly wrapped up.
Car is running and just wrapping up the brakes, exhaust and a final buff and then will have some snowy back ground pics!

Car is wrapped up and looks even better outside. One thing this car has taught me is that I need to build one for myself to keep!

Thanks guys. Appreciate it. It was a great build and my first charger build so I learned a bunch along the way. The redlines come off tonight and the Mickey drag radials and 69 dodge dish caps will be replacing them. The redlines are going back on my bee.
I will shoot some pics when I switch them over. Will change the looks a little I am sure.
