been at this for a little over a year. have a shop in Spartanburg working on it . thought I would share some photos of the progress ....never thought the car had as much rust in it as we found. wow! trying to put it back as close as I can but, it was stolen and a lot of parts were pulled off of it. so far it is going very well.

Guessing a lot of that sneaky rust is from mouse nests? I've pulled apart loads of "barn find" and field Mopars that had rust in the roof structure just like your Challenger. Looks like the shop is doing some nice metal repair.

Nice. How did you cleanup and refinish the window regulators? the guys at Carolina classic restorations did that. I think they were glass bead blasted. I will find out.

Looks like the shop is doing some nice metal repair. it is thought that whoever had this car removed the factory trunk then left the rest exposed to the weather. they removed the vinyl top and if I can find a photo I will post it showing the handy welding work that was done in the lead seam areas !that left holes in the skin and water was running in behind those areas.. we figure this has to explain why the front half is nearly rust free when compared to the rear. I am very satisfied with vic calverts work. the guys working on my car listen to me and are as serious as I would be if I were doing the work. there are no shortcuts with them!
