Roger's 69 Dodge Charger 440 RT/SE Restoration - Part 2

The car also had sill/rocker mouldings. Sadly the orginals were heavily fitted and beyond any hope of polishing.

I aquired a couple more second hand, but whilst a lot better, i decided in the end to paint them. I bought some chrome effect paint. I think its fair to say it was an OK job, but with this product technique is everything, and it was my first time.

I will be redoing them given what i have learnt.

trims in primer

I agree, the car is stunning, and a credit to you, Roger (and your assistants). Best in Show was well deserved.

Good to catch up with you too

I already have them on the dart.

Rare as hens teeth I hear. But I have always been undecided.

Changing my mind now.
