Just looking at your car makes me want to get back to work on mine. But I have to be practical and finish fixing my daily driver instead of working on the "Ye Olde Pipedream"

Where did you get the new floor boards? I'm tinkering around on my 71 charger but I'm about to get serous by this winter or next spring after my current project is at a good stopping point. It seams to be less aftermarket items out there for the third gen chargers. I'm going to need a lot of replacement panels! Keep it up on the car, Its great to see people put in the work to revive true classics!

i found them on ebay for a good price. The front 3/4 panels fit with very little modification. I wasnt as satisfied with the rear panels. They were the cheapest i could find and i got what i paid for. I made them work but i should have spent a little more on a better set. The charger is comming along slowley. I should post some pics later tonight.
