Alright guys carlisle is approaching fast! I cant believe it at all. We will have the car there no matter what so stop by and say hello and tell us who you are so we know. It will not be hard to miss. It will most likely be the only car there in primer in the young guns class! But anyways here is some more updates on the car. Its hard to get them online since im extremely busy but these are a few days old...

First task was to find a front valance. A trip to mopar marty's salvage yard and we found one. Rough but nothing we cant use! Here it is after being straitened out...


Then stripped and mudded up...


Leaded up all four corners of the roof! Its not too hard once you get the balance of heat right...


Then threw some skim coats over to get out minor imperfections...




Took apart the front suspensions too and will blast, paint and rebuild...




So who all is going to stop by and say hello at carlisle?

Looks Great Steve!
I'm really impressed with what you've accomplished and can't wait to see your project in person. By doing most of it by yourself(and your friends), you're developing skills you can use for the rest of your life.
Jim

Thanks Jim! We have also learned a lot of ways not to do things as well

great job Steve, see you at Carlisle!

Looking good Steve. Too bad people won't even understand the work involved to get that car into primer.

Thanks Brian and Jon. We will have some sort of display there too give people an idea of what was involved in getting it to where it is...

Well here is another update. When i turned the hood over the other day i found some rust that i had not seen before. So i have to fix that up really quick...

The donor hood, much thanks to John Miller...


The Bad...



The new...



The result needing grinding...



Now i have to get back to work

By the time you finish that car it will be a Miller Super Bee from the majority of wire feed in the car. Good on you for taking on the project.

It will be pretty close i think we have used about 15lbs of wire

Well the suspension for the front end we etched and then primed. Just have to get it paint and the rear done yet so we have wheels for the show




Also i dont have pictures since i forgot my camera but everything except the hood, decklid, and body are primed

Alright guys here is some more updates. Two days till carlisle and we are not even close but hey we tried

All the panels primed minus the hood and decklid...


Finally put the last touch on. The original number plate...


Here is the body ready to be primed. Stay tuned well have a solid color for once


And i finished painting all the suspension this morning too

Hey you guys are doing a great job, Im 16 and currently workin on a 74 charger and was wondering if you had any driver side floor pans that would fit or know of a place where I could get one cheap (Im low on money). If you could let me know that would be great. The only junkyard that has mopars here, likes to take all the parts from them and leave nothing. He is a big mopar guy. So I was wondering if you can help, if not thats fine. Thanks, and good luck on your two cars.

It's really coming together nicely

Great news....PRIMER!





I also undercoated some of the car...



Gotta get it rolling tonight after work, best bet is if you see me this weekend i might be sleeping in a chair behind it. So just tap me

Thanks dodge1974charger Best bet would be to search online or ebay. The make the cheaper repop floors for like 129 a side a think. Do you need the front or rear?

Lookin' good! Really looking forward to seeing your work. Leaving work tomorrow at 1 and heading right down...I'll be looking for ya!

The front section, right where the pedals are and right behind the drivers seat, where the rear passenger's feet would be. Those two spots are completly gone. I've been workin day and night on the 1/4's and trunk, and finally got those done and now workin on the floor. My passenger side is like new, which is good. By the way your car is lookin' good! Thanks, Nick

Alright guys i have been up all night with my brother and havent been to bed so here is your last update before carlisle...
