That took years of practice..... notice the factory paint runs.....you'd think it was ready for Concours now.

Two sayings that I read on here from fellow members helped me through when I was in deep (and at one stage I was in very deep, mentally exhausted and financially very concerned):

1. One day the repairs will end.

2. It's only money, you can always earn more of it.

Just keep going, have the odd break if you need it but never quit.


The lowest point

I think I bought a huge piece of **** and I dont think this will ever be drivable. No matter how much work and time I put into this Charger, I just keep getting it up my ***. I'm having the feeling I never should have bought this car. Problem is, I have more money into it then Its worth. Its a cool car and all, but I'm losing hope.

Great point. Thats what I'm doing. I'm trying to get it on the road quickly so I can get estimates for the body work. Its just not happening quickly. I do enjoy working on it, and that's with the frustrations.

I made a rule with my current car.. i only work on it when i feel like working on it.. if you force yourself it will make you nuts.. Also.. take small bites, it took me almost 3 years to get my car where i can drive it and i still have a massive list i'm unhappy with... some guys here have taken over 10, it should be something you enjoy working on

Patience is sadly a virtue when it comes to these damn things. Imagine taking your car all the way down to this point and then still trying to stay motivated to carry on with your project. Don't let it beat you down. The minute you get frustrated, just walk away, even if just for a few minutes. Wish I could give you better advice about your wife, but my project below damn near led to my own divorce (we made it though).

I was starting to think you need a full body job, interior job and mechanical and that maybe you'd be better off selling it and buying something better. Photo doesn't look too bad though, still consider your options, honestly maybe you're over your head and should consider selling this one and saving up some $$$ and buy a better one. Depends on what you want. These days you don't go down to the Chrysler dealer and buy new parts that bolt on, fit and don't leak, it can be a frustrating journey if that's what you're expecting.

Doesn't look too bad in that tiny picture. Let me adjust my eyes.

I thought you had something like below... I can't see much in that pic but i see the front end is complete.. if it has the full interior and a dash you have a gem... the rest is cake on those and it's hard to find one with the hard to find parts still intact for a good price. Not sure what issues you are having with it though...
