I actually like doing the work, gives me and the dog something to do.
I go nuts when I dont have a project to work on.

I can offer a spare room, and plenty of projects to keep you happy

.....and doggies are welcome

Beautiful Charger! I like that color. Do you drive it much?

Just ground all the filler off the fenders, what the hell were they thinking- it was an inch thick and this was done back when a fender could have been bought cheap

Speed in and out of the shop back then. Not that hard to repair properly either. Reminds me of the door jam on my HemiCuda. It was pushed back an inch and "repaired" with bondo and washers behind the door striker. I had the G.D. thing jacked out in less than 10 minutes and then started from there, it wasn't that hard of a fix but the flat rater that did it just didn't care.

Getting everything banged out and patched, took the hood apart and found a big mouse nest in there. It only took me 45 minutes to drill it apart which was less time than I spent deciding if I should do it or not. Glad I did now all the urethane cushioning is dried up and gone, needs to be replaced.

Managed to get that fender fairly straightened without having to cut it apart, will need some filler but wont be an inch thick this time

Very nice progress.

I bet! The real pain is yet to come, I have not bought the paint yet. And I still need to find a deck lid, and-and-and-

last time I split a hood open, I drilled the 5 or so pieces off of the frame for total clean up; couldn't help myself
