Thank you! It was a lot of work keeping it looking original but I think it was worth it!

US Car Tool supplied custom trunk hinge supports with the mini tub kit but I’m not sure how they fit and they don’t look right for this build so I modified the original mounts. I made a cardboard template and transferred the shape to the original mount. This finishes the original look I was working on.
Thanks
Pat

With the inter wheel wells out the aft end of the rockers is open. So before they go in for good I vacuumed, cleaned , and sprayed Eastwood internal frame coating inside. Over 46 years old on the east coast they look great inside and now they should be good for another 46 years. I wonder if I’ll be good for another 46 years??
Thanks
Pat

Welded in the trunk floor today and hope to put the inter wheel wells in tomorrow. The floor fit great with little persuasion. I was able put a bead of seam sealer at the tail panel and where the interior floor meets the trunk floor. I also used my spot weld wherever I could reach and plug welded what was left.
Thanks
Pat

Larry,
The spot welder is a 220v Miller model LMSW 52T with timer control. It’s a nice unit but it is heavy and is best to use with 2 people. I have used it to restore 3 cars now and looks and works like new.
Thank You!
Pat

I have been away from the Charger for a few days as my youngest graduated culinary school (CIA) in NY. He is only home for 3 weeks then back to school for a business degree.
I welded in the wheel wells and have the bumper & trunk supports painted and ready to install.
Thanks
Pat

Looking good Pat. I think if the bad guy in Bullitt had been driving this one he might have gotten away.

All the metalwork in the back of the car is complete and now it is time for the front of the car, motor, 6 speed, and RMS suspension. (The fun stuff)
Thanks

Are the supports that go from the "under the seat" floor section original or repro? If repro where can I find them?
Thanks,
Mark
