68 charger build

Heres a couple quick pics from today

 

Yup this one had 4 spots..I've gotten 2 of them repaired so far. Been concentrating on getting the major panels in right now.

 

WOW,,,nice work!!!
I havent built a muscle car in a bery long time, but if my wife sees thie thread Im done for, she keeps asking me to build her a car, either a '70 Nova (I'll do an SS clone) or a mid to late 70's Vette. As if I had that kind of time.

 

Dang it has been a while... we have been busy doing some trail riding, working around the house and vaca... so now it's back on track... the BEST of all news is the "kid" made it back home safe and sound from his 2nd tour in Iraq. so since Momma is Happy, evertone is happy. here a few shots to get back into the swing of things.

we had put the car back together, so he could see it in one piece.


of course i didn't get his first reaction, we were all happy going over the car with him. but at least him and mom are together...



the blaster guy "Jim" came out to meet "kid" Chris and also to take a gander at the car. he proposed to bring the car back to his shop and get the car blasted and sealed one more time. so before we weld in all the metal, we are going to bring it back and have him seal it up. so we got to dismantel the car (one more time) and he was amazed what a difference it was back to the shell.








kid got to play with the motor a little also. took the freeze plugs out, just getting her prepped for the tank...




also for some reason, once in its life someone put a 4 speed in it and well we don't need no stinking clutch...

before

after
