The parts car... 1969 charger 383 4 barrel, ac, power windows, t5 copper with white interior, rusty floors and the guy hit a light pole in the rear end.. No vin tag but a data plate that he wouldn't let me look at... Seemed fishy...

Cudos to you for taking on this project and saving another one!
I know Ken well and have seen this car lots of times before at his place, i always thought he would fix it one day......
You'll have a great car when it's done.
Tom.

Any chance you can put me in contact with the man with the cars. I see he has a 68 satellite wagon and I am currently working on one in Ontario.

Thanks Tom! Ken said he wanted to keep it but he didn't have enough time to do them all and he saw what I did with his old dart, but I think he's happy I ended up with both of them!

Well, I've been slowly been picking away at the charger front clip. Mostly done, but I have a little bit more trimming to do. Picked up an air compressor a couple weeks ago so hopefully I'll be able to get some more work done and I can make more posts!

Well, it's almost been a year since I was last on here and since I've had time to work on my cars! Unfortunately I thought I would've been a lot further a long by now, but I had to stop because I got a last minute acceptance to go to college and I've been going to school an hour and a half way from home. I have a month off of school before I'm back but I've been out in the shop all day every day trying to get as much done as I can. I should have the front clip welded on hopefully this week. Should be able to finish up most of the cutting and grinding tomorrow!

Well, I finally have everything cut off, grinded and ready to go together now! My dad just got home tonight so I'm hoping that with his help I can finally lift and put the two pieces together. First gotta go raid the hardware store for all of their vise grips... We will see how everything goes! Fingers crossed I don't mess anything up too badly!

Finally got it on tonight! I need to make a couple tweaks to it to make it sit in there nicely before I can start welding, but its starting to look somewhat like a car now!

It's been a long time since a post, but lots has been done since then...... I finally my college courses beginning of the year(for now) almost done my welding apprenticeship and just started my first year for metal fabrication.... I ended up moving 12 hours away from home so no work has been done until this past month since I quit my old job for one back home. I've now welded the entire front end in, and proceeded to work work on the floors and rear of the car..... it's getting there. A good buddy of mine Chris did all the sand blasting on it 3 days ago and I'm just starting to shoot it in primer. I'm hoping I can get lots done this year while I am working/have money and before I go back to school. First pic will be the night before I took it to blasting after I just finished my casters. I am extremely happy with how sandblasting turned out. No surprises, and the car isn't really pitted. I think I will try to save the quarter panel but not 100% sure yet
