Lawrence,
The car looks great! You're doing a fantastic job! One thing to note on vinyl top cars. That seam was not leaded. It was filled with a very hard, yet pliable, caulk. This would trap moisture and swell over time causing the buldge you typically would see. Non -vinyl top cars got the lead there. Is there exception to this? Of course, and I restored a 68 R/T with a black vinyl top that was leaded. But... the few exceptions are not the norm. Nobody uses that caulk anymore, obviously, and it's best filled with USC's Allmetal in the leaded joints. I'll shoot you an email with some more info..... Cheers Dave |

Going to fix the sail panel. Can't deal with the bulge under the top

The rest of the car is too perfect for noticeable bulge. Ryan

I'd have to do the same thing. The car is great, with that one exception. Can you fix it by just pulling back that one section of the top?

Man that thing is sharp, whew. Mopar did have some killer designs back then and a '69 Charger has to be one of the best designs of the musclecar era. Beautiful job.

You stated in post 28 that you were going to try and not remove the headliner. Were you able to do this and if so, how did you protect it thought the process? I have a 70Z28 with a perfect original headliner that I would like to save if possible. I do need to put new quarters on it, but I think I can pull the headliner back far enough to protect them from the heat.
