The "Rat Turd" is done and gone. I put him off for years, but being a 3-peat customer I finally gave in and built it. Not my cup of tea.

O boy.... A TX car in PA..... Got to love it..... Only thing I'm bummed about is that it was a black car...... Would rather have had it original. But I ain't complaining..... Did see the windshield is leaking so that's my first fix thing..... Got to get it all sealed up just to keep the water out...... There ain't even any under the battery tray..... One question tho.... It's a stick car with no shifter on the column or a hole in the floor. I'm guessing someone moved it to the floor. no clue why the shift arms are still on it. but there sure ain't no shifter in the car Nice job on the floor tho.

Is it a pushbutton auto car by chance that someone put a manual trans in?
 
We finished the front end rebuild over the weekend
I took it to the alignment shop this morning

Happiness is having an alignment guy that's been in business since Noah built the Ark
I am good to go for a while now

This past summer, I took my Charger to one of the last reputable shops around for an alignment. The air in the tires was older than the technician, but he tried. I wouldn't let him test drive for steering wheel centering. I did that myself when I got home.

This week I got the cowl cover off and the replacement fitted.
Then I drilled about 200 MORE spot welds and removed the front framerails and radiator shroud.
Monday I will weld the replacement rails in. I got a front "clip" with good rails and shroud attached but the rear cross member was swiss cheese. We tacked a piece of 2x2 between the rails before removing it so we could maintain the spacing. I also welded an XV Motorsports front rail frame stiffener under the radiator to stiffen the front end of the rails.
