Joe, keep pushing forward.
Looks great so far

Thanks everyone. I realized I didn't attach the ground wire for the washer pump so I did that this morning. Then, the ebrake went in and I cleaned up the vent cables and installed those. I plan on trying to put the dash in later today but here is a photo of all the firewall stuff installed.

Was able to bolt the dash into place but ran out of time to do anything else. Once I get any loose ends taken care of, I may try to bolt the doors and fenders on next. The wife will be happy since they are currently under lock and key in the living room.

Looks Awesome man!!!! Keep it up and get er dun

Simply Beautiful!

Joe that is a work of art!!! Your Cruisin, Have fun!!!

Got around to installing the side exhaust hangers. The car did not have dimples or holes drilled since it was an early car so I had to do them myself. There was very little room to work in and I did a lot of this... However, I was able to get them installed using photos and information from Barry Washington and TAV. Then the leaf springs and rear axle went in. I've got the rear shocks for the car but they need to be painted black. I may try to do that tomorrow. I was only able to take one photo before my camera battery died. I'll try to take some more with the car on the ground. It looks like the stance is going to be about right from what I can tell.

Looking good Joe, Real Good!

Spent the day cleaning and reorganizing the garage for the next round of stuff. Here's an on the ground photo. I haven't refinished the wheels yet. Going to wait and get a little more of the car together before I do them and buy new tires.

Looking good Joe! Any new updates???

Sorry for not posting updates but I have been pretty slammed. Here's a cowl shot to give you an idea of what has been done in the engine bay area.

Earlier this week, I loaded up the old bumpers and made a road trip to Tri-City plating. I can not begin to tell you how helpful and great the customer service was. Originally, I was going to get them to replate my bumpers but since my bumpers were not original to the car I decided to swap them out. When I called, they said they thought all the Challenger bumpers had just gone to Charlotte for that car show but he said he would see what he had. I told them I was headed to see them with my bumpers regardless. When I got there, they had found a rear one and they rushed a front one through for me and it I was able to take them both home.

Here's a pic of what they old ones looked like.

And here is a pic of a good friend of mine and former owner of my car helping install the TRI-CITY rear bumper. Sorry the pic is not great. While I was out running errands, he also installed the rear shocks and headlight buckets. Man that guys is a good helper.

While he was visiting, he was nice enough to lend me a hand in CAREFULLY installing the fenders and doors. Finally starting to look like a car again.

Joe, is that the voltage regulator you got from me or did that end up on another car?

Joe, We all should be so fortunate to have helpers like that. The rear bumper looks great. keep up the good work. That is going to be a great looking car. Dennis
