DePouli's 1969 Charger 318

[Brian DePouli]

The grill has been backordered since Nov...

But decided to put the header panel in

 

[Brian DePouli]

And the bumper... Needs adjustment but...

But my helper is back out... And not one bit mad at me for scratching his car... cause he knows I will fix it...

 

[Brian DePouli]

I always hate putting on the valence...

 

[Brian DePouli]

Gravel panels...

 

[Brian DePouli]

Hood latch in

 

[Brian DePouli]

Quarter Panel Extension never fit good after the crash... Still fit like crap and barely held on. Snapped a stud on the left one... definitely one of those days.

Once again wishing I did my own metal and paint work...

 

[Brian DePouli]

A few other bits, but I'm running out of steam...too much not perfect is destroying my motivation.

 

[Brian DePouli]

Oldest wants me to throw the football, so I'm done for today...

 

[INTMD8]

I slide a deep socket over the drill bit when trying to do things like that. Controls depth and gives the chuck jaws a surface to spin on that isn't painted.

 

[The Rebel]

Even with the hiccups you're still moving forward. Keep fighting the good fight!

 

[showard]

Wow! I feel for you.
Seems like when days like these happen they just keep getting worse.

 

[Brian DePouli]

Back to work... Rear bumper prep...

 

[Brian DePouli]

Had to go find the light housing off the old bumper and clean it up...

 

[Brian DePouli]

Couldn't take it I had to spray bomb the rest of the tail panel peice. With the bumper on it just didn't look right.

 

[Brian DePouli]

What goes in these two holes? Rubber bumpers? Source?

 

[Brian DePouli]

Bumper on...

Jack installed correctly now...

 

[Brian DePouli]

Will get those rubber bumpers eventually but for now...

 

[Brian DePouli]

Well blackout relative to chrome not so hot...

 

[Brian DePouli]

Other side is better.

Really loving this thread....
The hood thing sucks, but if it was easy, everyone would do it. I did something very similar a few years ago. ...I was pissed for a while. ...but got over it.
Now it's nothing but a funny story....!
