Great work Cameron on you ride. Man I know how hard it is doing a project like yours in the garage. I am doing it on my 66 Satellite project. The good news on that front is now I have a shop I am renting so I can do lots more as time allows. I think us Nor-Cal guys should get together and team up for work parties on our projects. I mean fire up the "Barbe", cool some beverages, and torque some wrenches. Keep us posted and I will try and do the same. Just remember this...When the Cap City Mopar's show is on next year I have an emergency shop on the way for repairs and cold beverages.....cr8crshr/Bill

Thanks, Bill!

Got some painting in with the semi gloss and did some grinding around areas of the K frame I will be rewelding. No pics. Will be making small steps during the week.

Well....how we doin? I wanna see some progress Cam.

I'll post some tomorrow. Getting ready to put the f/s back together. Got the radiator support and everything all blacked out.

Forgot the camera yesterday.

Cool.....

Over the weekend:

NO ONE will see thru my grille.


Yes, I know the factory was a lot less through doing this.

Done re-welding the K Frame and finished up my low profile steel K-Frame dolly!


That's it for now.

looks like fun!

Reminds me of my Dart when it was in pieces, while I wondered if I'd ever get to drive it.

Cool pics, thanks.

Your car looks sharp in Orange!

looking good! still miss the primer...could you get a flat vinyl wrap?

sweet!

Got the K Frame all reassembled, the wiring in place, the hood latch and lower grille mount in place as well.


And the bumper resto too. I'll get to the dent removal later.

I removed all the bracketry, wire wheeled off all the rust scale naval jellied, washed, primed with high-zinc primer, and then the raw steel parts were semi-glossed, the back of the chrome parts was shot with "aluminum" over the high-zinc.

My brother's birthday is soon, so I did the replacement bumper for his Challenger, too. My camera's battery died so I do not have any pics of the finished product but it looks AWESOME!











As for the dent removal...See that dent in the upper corner?

GONE!




There was also a dent behind the front plate where it looked like they used the Duster to push someone by the trailer hitch. Also gone now. You can see where I beat it with a wood block and a sledge. The corner was done on a 2x4 with a steel bodywork dolly and a sledge.

Not too shabby for a cheap hack with a spray-painted '73 A Body 318 car..

Almost looking like a car again!
