Hey all, This was my best meet in finding needful things. First off I need to thank John Herard (charge70) who provided me with a pair of NOS 1968-70 b-body rocker panels, a NOS right outer and a left inner wheelhouse. Next Nick Panaritis (Nick's garage) who delivered my 426 to the meet. Lastly, was me happening across a well built frame jig early Thursday morning. This I had only to think on it for about 20 min. before putting a deposit on it. The 1968 Charger project will be on it's way. Hot,humid meet as always. I didn't take much to sell but what I did helped with the added expense of the jig. Kocan

Nice weekend all round then....congrats on your finds....and that engine should be a winner. 
Nice scores! While the hemi is absolutely beautiful, I’m really envious of the frame jig.
Hey, I remember that engine

Nice scores
Hey all, Thanks for the comments. Yes, great scores. I have been looking for the last few pieces of factory sheetmetal for a few years. Damn hard to find and I was sure pleased in finding them. The engine of course was great to get back after a few years ,turn key and ready, even delivered by Nicholas which saved me a trip to Canada. I have a nice gift for him and you should see it in his next one or two mail-times. Finding the well built jig was pure luck early Thursday and would bring a Chubber initself. He was asking $2000.00 and I did not even try for a lower price. He also delivered it to my home for an additional $200.00. I had approached three metal / fabrication shops on building one from the 521 restoration plans and no-one even got back to me. I even asked for only the lower frame to be set and welded plum, square and level as I would finish all the final body brackets. No takers. I just now placed a factory front frame rail and transmission cross bar on the jig and they line up perfectly. Thunder Road! Kocan
