It's a shame for that 71 parts car to end up the way it did...the qtrs were so nice...Until someone took a torch to cut off the perfect rustfree pieces and used them as patches... Glad to see someone can use the bulk of it and got it out of there in one piece. I got some pieces off of it about 6-7 months ago...
Even sader, i know the guy that did it for his charger. And it gets better, he gave up on the project because his front end was rusted out. Now its just sitting

Jon, you pay for the ticket im there I love cali! So more progress and this time on the bee. Drilled the cowl out and the brackets that go from the inner fener to cowl to frame rail to make the most room to get it out without taking apart the front end, and with about an inch of play i actually did get it off! Now we just gotta clean up the seems and then spray some weld through primer on and put the new cowl on, havent decided when im going to do with the pillars yet, the ones on the parts car are really nice but i was thinking of just making some metal to put in instead of doing the whole pillar. Yet to be decided... Steve

Wow that is a heck of a project. But it is a worthy cause. There is just something fun about saying..."no it's not a charger, it's a Super Bee". Of course the next question is about where the wing is! Cool car though. Have you givin any thought to color and engine choice yet? Sorry if this was covered earlier BTW.

With you guys fixing up that car, I should have saved alot of the cars in the junkyards I've found!
That's a good thing though, it is really cool that you guys are getting stuff done on it. I hope to have my project done by the summer of 08.
Good luck
Ryan

Cool! Im doing a similar budget build on '70 charger. I have sold enough parts off the car that I wont be using to help keep the costs down. Good luck with your project! Our crew consists of me (25) and best friend John (24).. We wished we had a garage though, all we have is a patch of concrete and welder, a small wallet and high hopes!
