Top should go on in a few weeks. Right now sorting things out. Waiting on fuel line clips and once those come in can start the car. So far nothing major has surfaced but have not started it yet!! . Car turns over so I am hopeful all is ok. I am apprehensive about the heat and air because I restored the heater ac box myself. Lots of linkage, hidden actuators, vacuum lines etc. I also put in a new heater core. If that thing leaks, I may pull my hair out! Can’t wait to get it out!

Love it!!! Nice work, Lawrence! The first Charger I restored was a 68 R/T with A/C and had to yank the box right after it pressurized. Talk about a pain!! Core had a leak (even pressure tested it beforehand) and that’s when I vowed from that day forward....NO A/C CARS!!!:no::biggthumpup: Just kidding:tongue:

Fire that thing up man!!!

Cheers
Dave

I have a leaky heater control valve ugh. Coming off to be sent out and restored. I should had done that months ago did not any better. Cars runs good short of a sticky choke. Will sort that today. Here is a front end shot.

Here are a few pics of the car outside in the sunlight. This was before we adjusting the torsion bars so a little low in the front. Sorted out now.

The shot with the vinyl top shows the body lead seam under the top. The fluorescent lights exemplify this. I am not so sure if this will bug me enough to rip the top off and send the car back to my paint man to smooth that seam out? I simply missed this when the car was at the body shop. I looked at my old pictures and sure enough the same “bulge” is there. I guess I did not notice as much because the top was 48 years old and the car had plenty of other ugly things going on with it. I have looked at several other restored Mopars and this lead seam under the top shows up but it does bug me. I wanted to restore the car as it was in late 68 so that is what it is.:confused2:
