I know that feeling. I have had to put some of my cars on the back burner for several years at a time. My 70 Cuda has been on the back burner for 6 years now since I've become infatuated with 68-70 Chargers. LOL


Cabin floor pan is in place. The insides of the subframe rails were treated with POR15.

The doors were pulled in order to rebuild the door hinges. Once the driver's door came off, I was a bit frustrated. My best guess is that the poor leading of the upper pillars allowed water to run down the pillars, which rusted out this area below the upper hinge. I called 521 Restorations and ordered up a driver's side post/pillar. It's so weird how such a solid car has rust in such odd places.

Here's the passenger side. It was also super disappointing to see the first time. But an original donor section was used and I think it turned out well. It has to be the poor lead work at the top corner...oh well!

Pillars have been spotted in, door hinges have been rebuilt, and doors have been hung (and they close so nicely now). Now that the doors are in place, it makes me appreciate the work the PDR guy did to remove the dings!

Well done!!!!! Keep the pics coming.
My humble opinion that the '68 Chargers are the best looking cars of all time will never change.

Trunk gutters and rear filler panel have been painted. Rear filler panel was deliberately sprayed thin in areas, to mimic the patina of the original filler panel. I'm pleased with the color matching

Since the PDR guy took out most of the door dings, my paint buddy has been wanting to take a shot at polishing the original paint. I was doubtful it could be improved much but I was WRONG! Look at the light reflections in these pictures!
