1969 Charger RT Resto

[sixt9rsx33]

Here are a few pics of the car outside in the sunlight. This was before we adjusting the torsion bars so a little low in the front. Sorted out now.

The shot with the vinyl top shows the body lead seam under the top. The fluorescent lights exemplify this. I am not so sure if this will bug me enough to rip the top off and send the car back to my paint man to smooth that seam out? I simply missed this when the car was at the body shop. I looked at my old pictures and sure enough the same “bulge” is there. I guess I did not notice as much because the top was 48 years old and the car had plenty of other ugly things going on with it. I have looked at several other restored Mopars and this lead seam under the top shows up but it does bug me. I wanted to restore the car as it was in late 68 so that is what it is.

Will it keep you up at night?

There is compromise in every car but so far I haven’t seen any on this build.....
