Here are a few pics. of my latest project....
It was an original '74 Charger SE in fairly rough condition,missing many interior parts and more
than its fair share of rust throughout.

Chargers this late never really did much for me especially in SE trim.Seems like this period was a major identity crisis for the Charger...My thoughts are more like if fancy and comfortable are your thing, then buy a Monaco and let the Charger preserve it's muscle image.

Anyway in order to bring back some attitude to this car I have swapped out the rear bumper and tailights to the base model '71 style.On the front it now wears '72 hide-away headlights.The bumper filler on both the front and rear of this car was pretty much already shot so I also changed the the rear bumper brackets to the '71/'72 style and slotted out the fronts.

Last pic. for now....I still haven't decided exactly what I want to do with the hood.I'm sure the '70 Bee scoops are staying,I'm just wondering what to do with a paint scheme since the rest of the car is already black and will have to stay that way for a while....any suggestions ???

Very bad pic. of front....
One of those "spray it with the waterhose,then take the picture real quick before it dries" kind of shots...

Still don't have the scoops mounted yet...or the E-body T/A wing on the rear.Some fab skills are going to be necessary....
