Baby Come Back; '70 Charger Restoration

[davek]

You scared me for a minute Dave, I thought you were talking about blacking out the engine bay.

Oh they did that with the fender bolts.

 

[davek]

did they send you home with any paint, Dave?

Not really,just the formula Empty can. BS

 

[davek]

The hood insulation pad will hide it.

I didnt think of that.

 

[Charles Cook]

I didnt think of that.

If you do that, I’m going to tell everybody.

If you do that, I’m going to tell everybody.

Well I think its starting time to get the charger going again. Its been so hot , humid and rain here and I work outside , ok Im making excuses. Tonight I got the k frame in and tomorrow will do the torsion bars and get the front end on the ground. 1st time installing a k frame. Mike aka @Charles Cook wouldnt come over to help me, said it was to hot. OK Im lying he would if I asked. Next will be cleaning and installing the rear end.

Looks pretty good since you turned it around and put the steering box on the driver side. I had to tell Dave. I’m sorry.

 

[davek]

Yep had that on the jack backwards with the ps unit facing the passenger side.

Well my buddy came and got the charger. I have been waiting a year and a half to get metal work done. Funny how I thought one person was going to do it and for me guess God has a different plan. Hoping it will be back by June. 2 floor pans,tail light panel and lower valance and some odds and ends. Now I got to hit Big Money Mike AKA @Charles Cook up for a loan to pay for it.

Yeah, I'd say that June 2025 sounds about right.

I was right!
