Was it a column shift car? Yes my 69 was a column shift car. I have owned alot of 68-70 Chargers (b-bodies in general---> no pun intended) so I had lotsa extra parts & pieces and when I started to do this car I knew it had to go on the floor.

Was it hard? Actually not really, if you can believe that. I changed the column sleeve to get rid of the shifter up there & the PRND12. Cut the buddy seat brackets off the floor & then welded the brackets to the floor and having all the shifter pieces here I just went from there installing it all.

Is my bodyguy looking for work? Yes, he just finished up a 73 Charger it rolled out last week so give him al call tell him Tom w/the General Lee sent ya his #is 609-320-4842 his name is Brian. Give him a call guy does it ALL ! ! ! ! ! ! Metal fabrication, bodywork, paint, anything electricial, anything mechinacial, great guy.

Will there be any future events you will be attending? I have a guy that wants it for a wedding this Saturday and after that I'll be doing a bunch of fall shows for sure. Feel free to contact me direct for faster responses if you like tomdroptop@aol.com

Hey Tom , I'll tell you what I think ......after watching that video you made I can't really say which your best at ...restoring Mopars or makin videos.....but for sure your good at both!!! I saw the car for real at the Barbque and its awesome in my book and the video is a spot on history record of what you did !! Great job on both!
