You might want to contact the Admin at The 1970 Hamtramck Registry Home Page
Their whole reason for existing is to get owners in touch with people who have the build sheet for their car!

Hey all,

Its been a few years now and just wanted to update you guys!

I have logged so many miles on her and this car runs so well (minus the broken Park system just recently) but doesnt stop me from driving it all over!

I get asked so many times "what is it a charger?!?" by the early 20s crowd.... to my reply is "yes... yes... it is..." (im 40 so not much older) haha

They are meant to be driven.... not put in museums. Cheers everyone to a beautiful night in Norton Ohio!

Congrats on getting something so far gone back on the road so quickly. It looks great.

Very impressive timeline on your car, especially considering that most of the work had to happen after the girls were in bed. Been there and done that, and my car still isn't painted!!

Beautifully done!
