Did you ever get a General Lee by the way & if so PLEASE post pics!!!

There ya have it so far. I will keep posting pix as the car develops thanks for taking the time to look!

Filled in the CHARGER emblem holes as well as the antenna hole Here is the car a few days ago today being 12/30/07 Decided to replace the front shield & pull the rear one also to take care of issues this is teh new front just covered with dust

Now the new 1/4's came without any marker lights & as with General Lees we all know they can be marker delete or 68 painted over or 69's can be in there. I decidde to use the original marker lights & my bodayman added them back in.

More replacement pieces...ended up with rear valance, rear tail light panel, Both lower 1/4's & one fron lower 1/4.

Heres the replacement fender I grabbed

Locate a hood but I still want a replacement as it has some issues picked up a pushbar BODYWORK STARTS Realized it be better to replace some parts due to rust I went back to get metal at the local shows.

woops a lil out of order there but thats the front bumper brackets I had to locate Found some seats Then winter hit once again When spring arrived I still had to locate a hood but also made a deal with a local bodyman to do the car for me so he came to pick it up. first time I drove it in 2 years!

Yes those of you with good eyes thats a 70 hood still on there as I had yet to located a 68-69 hood at this point....for those that didnt cath that go head back & look I'll wait LOL. My buddy John stopped over to lend a hand a few times & my house was a Charger fest LOL.

THEN ON WITH THE 69 STUFF

Then off came the front so it could be replaced with what I had so far:

Parts collected some later to be re-placed by better parts like this fender as you will see in future shots...I found a better one Bought a set of thess too.

During all thius I attended local & not so local shows & sold Mopar parts to fund my project & left those shows with parts for the car remember the front end is still a 70 clip! Here I am selling at E-town . & more shots

Then I painted the center cap

Put in the console & then replaced the column sleeve & signal cancler whiel I was in there: In my garage I had a nice woodgrain wheel so I decided to pop that in there as well while I was doing this process:

Here you see the buddy seat brackets that had to be removed & replaced with the console brackets Going Replaced

B4 AFTER: I also went from a column shifter automatic to a console/floor shift automatic didnt replace the entire column just the sleeve

I really like this stuff & b4 I just painted it I used a cleaner & then wiped it with rubbing alcohol to make sure there was no "fish-eying". B4 AFTER:

Here are some b4's & afters: B4 AFTER b4 AFTER

new tank goes in & sending unit: OK here is the interior paint I used from SEM worked great:

This is the shot when it arrived at my house Pulled the bad 318 in there & replaced it with another 318 I had (you can see it in ther background): Then the 1st winter arrived & worked stopped Spring hit back to work:

Hello everyone, I live in NJ & I have posted here & there on this site but have posted pix & more on a few other Dukes sites. I see alot of people that are on here & not on the other sites so I figured I share some shots of the progress. Ok just as a background these shots have been over the last 2 yrs and I am gettin closer & closer to painting it, well here goes. (you comments are welcomed). Here is my 69 yes its a 69 but its got a 70 clip on it as I traded the clip to a guy to restore my 68 Charger b4 I realized I wanted to do a General Lee.
