New boy

Post by Jp mahoney »

Hi my name is Jon and I’m 56. I’ve been into yanks all my life but recently more Mopar. A couple of years ago I had a 69 roadrunner but sold that and have been restoring (to my ability) a 69 440 Charger. Bought unseen (the worst) and a bit of a dog when it arrived. No boot floor or main floors for that matter. I’ve done all the work myself apart from the spraying. Nearly finished just a few bits to finish off then hopefully on the road. It’s been a bit of a slog but loving every minute of it. Great forum from what I’ve read so far. Cheers. A couple of pictures from before and after.(hope they upload)

Welcome!

It certainly looks like you have had your hands full!

Great looking car, I am sure it will be well worth all the effort.
