Next was to get the side apron back on and aligned... Stole the old mans radiator take make sure it would go back in and put a few more welds in place...

Still have some welds to be made but here it is rebuilt This is quite the experience for me as i have never done any welding or bodywork for myself. I would encourage others to get out there and try it, im starting to learn techniques and improve my skills with every weld and piece i do!

Went to the local junkyard to check out the two 71 chargers that the owner had there. This one had a nice cowl which we need badly and was the easiest to get out, so we went ahead and bought it for $300. Here she is sitting back in rough... Got her loaded on the trailer, wish i had been able to snap a picture of the car 10 feet in the air with the forks through her roof Now were home and let the strip down begin!

Also found a complete rear bumper assembly for the car. Picked up both of these for a total of $75. The car had literally 6-8 inches of water inside and had carpet to boot, not the funnest part dealing with the nasty stuff inside...

Seriously one of the biggest shocks ive ever had from a junkyard find MINT floors and trunk, there is a little pitting in the trunk but this is much better off that what we had. I think we just saved a lot of money on floor and trunk repair

Pulled the motor, carefully removed the car from the trailer with jacks, then get her in place to be taken apart! At home next to the bee!

The floors are great and there is a complete set of seatbealts, and tons of brackets and extra bolts (always come in handy). Making some good progress on the parts car deconstruction...Drilled out the inner fenders since we are going to resale everything we dont use to help fund the project... Then the cowl we drilled out...Man this piece is nice...

After drilling out all those spot welds i need to do it again on the super bee Let me tell you i have to give a lot of credit to moparmarks on this board who sells sheetmetal. I dont know how you sell the stuff so cheap after all the labor involved Have a good Turkey day and im sure well get lots done over the 5 day break
