Let me be the first to thank you Dmoore for posting the pics on these low mileage, survivor cars, personally i savor every detail. I have a question on the ceramic resistor on the wiper motor, was that painted over by the factory or is that undercoating? Thanks again.. 1971 Sassy Grass Green Duster 340 2006 Charger Daytona GoMango

Can I make a picture request? 1) One that shows the top of the grille & the headlight bezel mounting fastener 2) Where the engine to firewall ground goes. Looks like the wiper motor to?? 72 Demon 340 71 Duster 340 Resto https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...part=1&vc=1

Can you remove some speculation on my part and list as many the items that you can confirm as having been either replaced, restored, repainted, or retouched? I see a few areas that raise questions and using your pics for future reference I'd like to weed out any misconceptions.
