With the car completely epoxy primed I applied all the seam sealer on the exterior panels, starting with the roof drip rail. After sanding with 220 and a Scotch-Brite pad, l taped both the drip rail and roof to control the edge of the seam sealer. Using a product from 3M called Fast & firm #08505 I tooled it in using my finger and little lacquer thinner to keep i pliable. This Fast & Firm is easy to use and works great for paint or a vinyl top. I saved a small section of the original seem sealer to maintain the same shape.
Thanks
Pat

Not much to show the last two weeks as I've been out of town but I did get some more some seam sealer done around the trunk and quarters.
Thanks
Pat

Prepping the interior, jambs, engine compartment and trunk for finish paint before I get her off of the rotisserie. So many details and forgotten pet peeves I am tidying up along the way. It is just as well as the weather is lightening up with the humidity to paint. I am also collecting the suspension parts for the wheels to be mounted.

Ralph, good to hear you are making progress on your car. Alex and I were talking about driving over to see you in his/your old Challenger soon!
Thanks

Pat


I'm in the same boat. As a matter of fact my boat is still in storage! Lol
Pat I have a question for you. Do you get more satisfaction from doing the project or from driving it?
I get more from fixing things that enjoying them?
I could easily GET my car finished but then I think what do I do when Its done?
Anyways thanks for posting your progress.

Hi Matt,
I enjoy the parts hunt and build the most, along with the 1st drive. I also like to drive the cars I build cross country, but that's about it. As this car has less then a year to go I'm already looking for the next project which will be a 194? Woody wagon for my wife. She help me with my 1st full restoration of a 1964 GTO back in the mid 80's so it's time for her to get back in the garage to help with her woody ;-)
Thank you
Pat

Wow!!!!
You definitely have some great fabricating skills and looks to be top notch quality. This will be one cool looking charger when done.

Finished up 90% of the seam sealer including a lot of areas the factory did not do that I had to use a pick tool prior to priming to remove the stones, grease and grime from the past 50 years. The beige seam sealer is 3M's fast and firm #08505. Easy-to-use, you can smooth out with a wet finger and 2 hours later you can clean up any mistakes with a rag and lacquer thinner.

I've been laid up for a few weeks with some hernia surgery but I use this downtime to work on modifying the woodgrain steering wheel for the car. I love the look of the woodgrain wheel but driving my silver charger it was never comfortable handling the steering wheel as it's so thin. So I decided to modify this wood wheel to have a much larger modern size grip. I did not want to enlarge the diameter of the wheel as there already a little large compared to modern cars so I moved the inner ring in by about 3/8 of an inch. To do this I had to cut the S/S inner ring at all three spokes and weld it smaller in diameter and then Cut a new slot in all three spokes to hold the ring in its new location. While I have the steering wheel out for re-plating the spokes I need to brainstorm how I'm going to remake the larger plastic wood grain handle??? Suggestions welcomed!
Thanks
Pat

Sounds great. Just let me know when you guys plan on coming over. I would love to see my/his old car all done. I am now trying to get my car into the frame shop. The front rail is bent about 3/4" out of level. I have it off of the rotisserie and on it's wheels. I have also painted the interior and jambs to start hanging the sheet metal as soon as the frame is straight.

Still making progress just not a lot of photogenic things show. A lot of boring sanding to prep the bottom and engine well for base-coat clear-coat.
Thanks
