Just a note to say Hi.

Bought a 68 Charger 4 months ago,replaces my 57 Chevy Bel air. Generally in very good unmolested condition an ex California Car, it's a Bullitt Clone complete with hub caps! I know there is another clone on the scene saw it at The Speedfest last year. Been going through everything mechanically and just got her back from the Body shop looking pretty good now as she's been a bit neglected over the last 3 years or so.
Anyway no doubt I will be posting looking for advice on here as I am a Mopar virgin. Just in the process of fitting a Dakota electronic Dash from Classic Industries, so if anyone has done that would be glad to receive some pointers.

Regards

Rog

Some historic minor accident damage to the bonnet lip near side and around the rear light cluster offside,it was hard to spot but bugged me,plus a few rust scabs to the lower rear wing in front of the wheel.Oh and the rear panel between the chrome trims was body colour and not Matt black.All sorted now.It was repainted in 2013 and they painted over the damage.
