Your challenger definetly inspires me that My challenger is repairable and will get done someday. There's many days that go by, that i fear my dream wont come true and i'll never get to enjoy a finished product. But like i said, posts/stories like yours bring my hopes back that someday it'll get finished. KEEP IT COMMING!!!

So, I bet it seems I've given up! Nope, just had some other stuff takin' up my time. I've got some pics and info to post but for now I'm just really on here for a favor. I really need a driver door latch and can only find later models or passenger latches. Anybody got one they'd be willing to part with? Of course I'd be happy to pay a fair price and I promise I won't be the guy that ends up with a six page story about "he said the check is in the mail"!
Anyway, I'm actually blocking on the main shell right now and it's really starting to look like a car again! I do still have a little metal work to do on the front and I have to fit the rear valance I got from Jeff (jsbrown). It looks really nice but I don't think the ends are quite rightwhere it mounts. It shouldn't be a cutting/welding problem, just some hammer and dolly manipulation I think.
Sooo, if any of you have a line on the door latch, I'd really like to hear about it!
Pics to come!

Hi Jake,

Thanks very much for your detailed postings. I'm doing something similar to what you are doing, that is, building a new car body. I am putting pictures online, but unfortunately no descriptions.

See www.claylahatte.com.

I was glad to see what you did on the gaps. Even though there are many reasons to replace them, I'm hoping to keep the original quarters on this car. Either way, I'm sure I will need to do some work to make the gaps nice.

I also look forward to learning how your engine runs when it's done.

Thanks.
Clay

Nope, no paint yet, but it gets a little closer almost every weekend! I'm currently working on installing 2010 Challenger seats, front and rear. Big project but cool!Had to modify the rear seat back due to a height problem so I'm learning to sew! I'll try to get some time to get some pics up here soon. Thanks for checkin' in on me!
