Larry & Don, thank you!



I’m not sure about your first statement, but thank you sir!
Pat

Great stuff thanks!

I received a note from a member on the Pro Touring forum. He said he has been following my charger build thread and that it was his favorite thing on the Internet, well almost! He says it hurts his feelings every time he opens an update on the Charger and sees the tires I’m using on the car.

It turns out he works for Michelin North America. He said they would like to give me a set of their tires because I’m building exactly the level of vehicle and build that they want to be associated with.

Needless to say I said YES! So cool that a large corporation like Michelin would think that my home built project car is worthy of their attention.

The rear wheel (335/35-17 Michelin Pilot Sports) showed up today and I should see the front wheels (275/40-17) soon.

This is very cool, I am very honored, and I will pay it forward!!

Thank you Michelin!!

Pat

Free is good!

What does the Michelin tire offer that the Pirelli doesn't?

You should really feel proud of what you've done with the charger!And Michelin tire sponsorship is great!

Since you want to pay it forward, does this mean you will give me the car and keep the older tires?

Good job Michelin, very cool.

I finally got around to that time consuming and tedious job of painting the grill. As suggested by others I use SEM trim black #39143 and titanium metallic #15253. The Testors 1/16 fine line tape works perfect!
Thanks
Pat

Tedious indeed, but fun. I put hours and hours into prepping/painting the grille I got for my car.

Someone had probably 4 coats of black, brushed on( ) house paint on there I had to meticulously scrape off before I could do anything.

I only put the effort in because it was basically free, and I really wanted a 70-71 style grille to replace my 72 grille.

Thanks for the update! Looks great I’ve been jones’n

Four coats of paint ouch!! The things we do for the love of the car hobby;-)

Thank you!
Pat

With a little massaging the new replacement grill trim fits very nice. Was able to clean, Paint and reuse all of the original trim clips. Note there are two different size heads as well as two different length trim fasteners.
Thanks
Pat

Pat that grille looks fantastic!. Looks like very tedious work to accomplish that.

It was fun and I’m looking forward to doing another one......... NOT:-)

Thanks
Pat

This car 100% deserves to be in all the car magazines when it's done.

Neil, That would be great, But right now I just wanted to be able to drive in and out of my garage ;-)
Thank you!
Pat

Lots of small details but still making progress on the reassembly of the Charger. Mounted all of the LED lights in the grill frame along with the hood latch hardware.
Thanks
Pat

are those LED head lights? Wondering what you did to get them to sit in the buckets? Reason I ask is we just did a 72 GMC that the customer bought all 4 LED headlights to the tune of over a grand. They don't sit in the buckets worth a crap.

Yes LED lights by Delta. Click on the link below and you can see that I had to open up the hole in the buckets to fit the new lights.
Thanks
Pat

Would you happen to have any part numbers?

I saw in your facebook link where you bought them, but I'm not 100% clear on what you bought.

I'm looking at #'s 15093 and 15094. Are these what you used?

Thanks!
