Well more sanding and priming today,front bumper brackets. Im thinking the 70 charger has to have the heaviest bumper on any Mopar.

Yes, true. Other than maybe a 70 Imperial.

I carry them on my shoulder up the stairs to my loft,even at my age.
Well got most of the plugs in, DTM did not give me the rocker panel plugs and short a couple medium ones. 1st coat on a couple pieces. Installed the headlights.

Tonight installed the fuel cap and tube.
I thought when the car got painted I was all set. Well did some more sanding and painting today.
All those parts take time. Every piece I put on my cars needs some sort of reconditioning and the hours add up. Its worth it in the end!
I think a lot of people just dont understand the amount of work it takes to do a car.

Yeah, every 2 steps forward, you find at least one step back. I was putting the right half of my '70 Charger dash back together, decided to clean up the map light assembly, and the ground wire was a b!tch to disconnect. I got it disconnected but ended up disintegrating the on/off switch circuit board in the process. Now to wait until I can find an affordable part to replace it, not the entire map light assembly that'll cost me over $100 shipped to replace a dime-sized part. And it goes on and on.
