I also found some rear panels to match my fronts, both are in good shape but all four had chrome peeling so i took some chrome mylar tape and fixed them...



I got new rear E-brake cables in and installed them...



Since i traded my rubber bumpers for the air grabber hood i needed to send some chrome bumpers out to be striped...



It was a hot weekend so i decided to finish up the front seats. This was a mess as i had to use many two different pairs of seats to make one. I used the original foam from the cars original seats but had to use the frames from a 70 challenger because the original cars frames were to rusty to repair...



Here they are with just the tops and bottoms done, still need to assemble them...



And i got some dougs headers for the car, to make the engine nice and pretty



Installed...



More to come...

Its crunch time for Carlisle!

Got my driveshaft back. I took it to a local shop to get it cut and balanced...



I replaced all the seals on the inside of the upper door panels...



I redid the seat frames...Before...

Today was the ultimate test of a lot of work, from the making my harness to testing my engine assembly skills. After checking everything out, we cranked it over and it fired right up. I have a small video here...

Car so far...






More to come lots of stuff will be going together on the car the next few days before carlisle...

He made it to the show. Still had some work to do but I saw it moving under it's own power that's more than I can say for mine. Cool car, can't wait to see it next year.

Thanks guys i did make it up to the show. Had it with some barn fresh parts on it (wheels, aircleaner, wing, grilles, tailights, etc). But it was fun to have it up there and be able to drive the thing around the fairgrounds. I'll be uploading some pics i took today of it...

Here is a few pictures of the car as it was at carlisle with the exception of the wiper motor being on the car. Had to pull it off to compare to my dads on his car....


As you can see the barn fresh rims and tires...



I bolted the Gull Wing on to cover the holes in case of rain it will need to be painted...



Grilles need to be restored yet, i got lucky and got these from a very low mile car that was parted out...



Tailights need to be redone yet aswell...



The interior as it was without the shifter boot and ring that i got from my buddy Mike Ross at BE/A...



Air Cleaner needs to be done yet. The valve covers are the ones i used to paint it with and will be swapped out to some Direct Connection ones i got at the show for $25! Got here running with a $37 Autozone point distributor and Wires....



And a cool picture of my 73 Challenger in the reflection of the Super Bees paint






I also picked up quite a few parts for the car, keep checking back as i install them and get the car done for the Nats

It looks great!

I have to find work soon so I can get back on my '70 Charger. I have not touched it in a year

PS- Is there anything I could possibly donate to help you out?

Thanks guys! I think right now im pretty good as far as parts for the car. The only thing that i need is to find a good set of door jam seals (the ones with the screws and the top of doors and jams). I will post more pictures as i get it ready for the NATS!

Car looks great Steve. A lot of people would have given up long ago. The amount of work to get to this point is incredible and you hung in there. Congrats on this major milestone!!
