Looks great !!! Now, did you paint the leading pinch-weld on the hood black like it is supposed to be? Also, the lower rocker panel pinch-weld is painted black too......

Thats all on my to-do list, along with painting the black in the door jamb. It will be a bit more of a pain with it as far along in assembly as it is but shouldn't be too much of a hassle.

Both pinch-weld areas I mentioned had the black paint applied with a brush. On my former survivor '71 Charger R/T, you could vaguely see the brush marks.

Ha, didn't realize that they were brushed on!
Here's some shots of a few of the sheetmetal repairs that were done.

In these hidden areas we weren't too concerned with duplicating every dimple and ridge, just wanted it to be structurally sound. Didn't get a pic with the brace all stitched back up too but it got done.

A little more with some spot blasting and rust treatment in the crevices for good measure.

This was the one which personally amazed me most. The valance was pretty straight, other than being swiss cheese along the front edge.

next time it looked like this. Gene, they guy doing the sheet metal work made it all look too easy, a true master at his craft. You couldn't even tell it had been repaired by the time he was done, and he was fast at it too!

I've got some other pics like these, the drivers inner fender, the passenger cowl, underdash by the drivers side vent intake. Lots of little areas which added up, probably would have taken me years to do them myself, with no where near as good a result.

Back from the dead! Or something like that.... funny how things work out. I can't remember what drew my attention away from the board but I "completed" the car about 5 years back. I use quotes because these are never really done. I was looking for some build pictures and remembered this thread, seems I put quite a few pics on here which I've lost elsewhere. Anyhow here are some recent photos of the car. If anyone's interested I can dig up some of the other in work photos I took during the process.
