do you have a close up shot of the top of the door leading back? It looks like you shaved the trim lip and welded it shut. We are doing that real soon and it would be nice to see how it looks done.

This car project is not dead yet by any stretch. its a long haul as I have been working on other cars and a man cave to boot. The good news is that it now has all of its floors installed and they are fully complete which cost about $1700USD in labor and another grand in parts. I learned that...

lets not put the cart before the horse. Lots of body work to do yet. Lots...

This is going to take forever. I went and located a right floor pan and had it blasted. The floor pan needs a floor pan. lol. The rust was so deep in one spot that I have to cut a small section from the pan. I have not yet located the left pan. The right one is a full pan front to back. I...

Is that appropriate on a bbody forum? Anyway, here you go. I am still smiling.

My 3 giant cement playground turtles are not for sale. ;-) Update: Still working on the green primer. My new devilbliss gun arrived and I like it a lot better. It was weird at first as its very fast compared to the kobalt gun. I think this is how it is supposed to be. I have painted all the...

I just ordered a DeVilbliss 3 with 4 heads for $220. I think that will improve my situation without having to outlay big cash to get the job done. I aim to get by on this low cost gun for a while longer. Now I have to wait for UPS to deliver with ground shipping while I return the piece of ****...

p.s. I have decided to do all the body and paint work myself and save the cash. We shall see how this works out over the next year.

New years update: I just (finally) put the car into 2580CR to keep the bare metal from rusting. The weather was not favorable for the last few days, but since I could keep it in my warehouse for the time it was bare it did not rust. Here is what I learned painting at this level for the first...

I am going to remove all the parts next and resend them to be blasted again since he said he would do that for free. I had no way to get the car there and back without it rolling. Ive been thinking for 40k I could setup my own shop and hire a paint and body guy for 3 months. ;=) J/K sort of...

Here is what I don't understand. I have seen cars like mine (mild resto mod) very nice in black paint go for around $20,000 on ebay. How can you justify a paint and body job for $40,000 on a non numbers matching, non hemi 66 charger? At what point does a paint job like that make it...

Just a note, why is there no such thing as used 14 inch tires anymore? I have to drag this babe around on flats.

So as you can see it is ready for body work. What do you gurus think I should do from this point? I took it around today and am appalled at what the prices are. From a local Jesse James type outfit: body and paint 30-50k. Yes they do great work, but they are high on the crack. I found a...

Its not that bad really. LOL. I spent about a year or so collecting things like a better hood and a door and a fender etc to complete the body. Then I recently sent her off to the sand blaster for a strip. Now she is in bare metal and today I will be blowing out all the sand and putting it...

This will be my ground up restoration page for me 1966 Charger project. I bought it for $800. It was a very incomplete AZ car. No numbers match, no engine and no hope. I stripped her to the body and sent her off to blasting. I am about to put her into a zinc black paint to inhibit rust while...
