Modern Bullitt Charger build

[keepat]

I finally received the backordered AAR radio so I could complete the dash. Radio is Bluetooth audio as well as hands-free phone, not sure how well it works but it looks and fits great!
Thanks
Pat

Love the mix of classic styling and modern function!

That looks better than new from the factory. The radio looks original.

I always liked the charger dashes. Easy to look at and smile. I've been using similar internals to your new radio. All the functions work as they should. The sound quality wasn't as good as real high end equipment but I didn't have the head units connected to a good amp and good speakers so it wasn't a fair test. My wife has been test driving new cars. I notice that some have the engraving in the door sill plate illuminated. Would that be something that you might consider on your car?

The hands free phone works great and I hope the stereo sound/works as good. Sorry no engraved sill plates but maybe some under door logo led lights???

Man, this build gets better and better. Pat, your attention to detail is insane--in a good way.

Keep up the amazing work.

Thanks, good to know. I had figured on another motorcycle trip like last year followed by lots of work. (Given the good report from the boat show) That's why I waited this long to ask.

I’m installing the vinyl top over the 4th of July holiday. So I started by putting all of the vinyl top trim so I know where to locate the final cut. For the last 3 years this top has been laying over my Trans Am or viper. It’s nice to have it laying on the charger now ;-)
Thanks
Pat













how many years to become a forensic anthropologist

[JayinMI]

Why is it asking how many years to become a forensic anthropologist? I thought Pat worked with boats. lol

[wfo guy]

I'm pretty sure installing the top isn't a one man job. Did the rest of you notice how good the rest of it looks?

With the vinyl seams even and clamped at the front I glue the center 6” back to front. Then folding over the drivers side I glue over to the seam and then the same on the right side. After spraying the glue on both the roof and vinyl I put some plastic down to let me flip the vinyl over without sticking. Then holding and pulling the vinyl up I remove the plastic and stick the the vinyl down. Now with it glue seam to seam next will be down the pillars.
Thanks

True mark of patience.

I have been following this build from the the start, and I just wanted to say it has to be THE best build out there.

The attention to detail, modernizing the car without taking away from the original features...
Improving where it needs to be improved, and keeping what is essential to the original.

It really takes a good eye, and rarely do people have the good eye and the skills to actually do it themselves.

And the fact you are doing this at your house, in your garage, makes it even more awesome..!
I would hope you get a homebuilders "Ridler" award if there is such a thing..:-)


My hat is off to you, this build is absolutely spectacular.

I hope I will get to see it in person some day..
