More progress today. A special thanks goes out to fellow Moparts member and friend Mark McDonald. With his guidance the Charger is on all 4 wheels for the first time in several years. I am hoping to keep up the momentum and get a few rides in this year. Finger crossed!

Engine compartment nearly wrapped up. Also, completed exhaust installation this week. Getting ready to move on to dash install, engine start up and then interior work.

A couple photos from last week. Windshield and rear glass installed. Dash and headliner installed. Now on to side glass, carpet, door panel and seat installation. I hope to get car back to the painter in a few weeks for final cut & buff, touch up and finishing C stripe (original upper stripe was too short). If all goes well.... I will be done by Christmas.

Lot's of time to work on the car in the last few weeks. Interior is coming together nicely and I finally installed the bumper/grille assembly. A couple more weeks and I think I will finally have this project knocked out.

Interior finally completed.
Just a few more details to knock out and then back to the painter for touch ups and final cut and buff. Hope to have a test drive done soon as well.

Well....after more than 9 years I will close out my project here on Moparts with some final photos. Only put a few miles on so far. Just some tuning and adjustments to finish. Overall, very happy with the outcome!
