OK Ok I know I've been slacking, Holidays are done. Believe or not I have been back on it the last two nites. Too much going on in my life right now. My better half wants me to remodel the kitchen and I have been making a game plan for that. Then about a week ago she say's "your not happy unless your working on that challenger" She say's get out there and work on it and the kitchen can wait! She's a very good women, she know's me so well. So that's what I'm gonna do, challenger first then the kitchen. Hopefully anyways! Stay tuned. I build em because I love em, not to flip. I drove one of my challengers new year eve!!

I thought that was leading into one of those "you need to choose - me or the car!" conversations. She seems to be a good woman, you're a lucky guy.
I just found this thread today in another one of your posts Challenger 1, unbelievable! I just read every single post and loved it! I am inspired now but no way do I have the ability to do what you did in such short time, if at all!

Awesome work
Thank you guys,
I got home at 9:30 PM last nite, I did a little. Tough for me to find the time during the winter because we are busy at work this time of year. Here's some of the hardware that will be going back on the car that I cleaned up. This is what it looks like naked.
Gonna pull the quarters off one more time and under coat them just like the originals.I bet most people forget to transfer the rear window hardware from the old quarters to the new, you can see it in this picture. It needs to be welded on the new quarters for the windows to worh right..
Here's some of the sheet metal that this car is gonna get. There's more for the front that's not shown, like new inner and outer front fenders.
More I post the more I get reved up

Good work! I am always amazed at the talent and drive of the do it yourself crowd here, it inspires me, (and hopefully everyone else too).

Hey Ron, Good to talk to you. Jim painted that car on two different days and you can see it. At first we could'nt see it but after a month or so you could. I told him about it and he said bring it back. I did'nt want to and wanted to live with it. I put the whole car together thinking I'm just gonna drive it, right? Well as time went by the colors changed even more.Jim and I talked about re doing it last summer but I did'nt want to give him the car then. Then Jim called me about a month ago and even came to see the car and wanted it to get it right. So it's there now, I'm not sure how much he's gonna redo but he is taking care of it. Funny thing was, when Jim first looked at my car before he painted it, I expressed that exact concern and was told it should'nt be a problem with the older metalics,. well it was.
Hope everything is good with you and your family.
A lot has changed for the better here.
