Nice project, i know where you are coming from with starts and stops. Mine just came home from 3 years at the welding stage. Waiting to get media blasted now and sealed before bodywork in the spring?

Did the media blaster vacuum/clean it up after they were done or did you?

Media blaster did it........we will use a leaf blower as well prior to paint. Did the media blaster vacuum/clean it up after they were done or did you?

Hood is in primer and ready for the last of the body work. This hood was mint to start with so not too much left to do on it.

WOW!!! wish i had a project car like yours. The '68-'70 Charger R/Ts are the epitome of muscle cars (imho). ...keep the updates coming. awsome car,, why full, 1/4s??? they looked decent??
looks great,,, i hope you got a "set" price on all the metal work.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/whistling.gif" alt="" /> instead of by the hour.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/whistling.gif" alt="" />
jc Full 1/4 panels were chosen in lieu of replacing the lower sections. The lowers were rusted/rotted pretty much from the front of the wheel openings to the rear of the panel. Also had some rust in the areas around the bottom of the rear window corners. With the improved quality of the newer replacment AMD full quarters we opted for this choice verus piecing all the new metal in these areas. We could have gone either way. However, I trust Vance's judgment on this as he is well recognized in the Mopar community as a top notch restorer. Good call going with full 1/4s. I did the patch panel thing on the '68 Dart 20 years ago because full 1/4s were not available (except $$$$ NOS). It held up well, but have recently installed AMDs full 1/4s...so much nicer.
