72 to 71 transformation/ Tropical fish

Didn't end up making it to the frame straightener yet. Had the night sweats and next day was light headed and dizzy so I've spent the last week visiting doctors instead. So far it's been my regular doctor and a cardiologist and on friday it's an immunologist to see if he can find out what's wrong. I messed up my back a couple of weeks ago and used the opportunity of being the crippled gringo to get my 06 Charger registered and titled down here and I have a feeling some nasty mold might have blown out of my AC vents when I started driving the car again.

Mold sucks!

After a huge break we finally got the Cuda to the frame straightener today. They figure I should have it back by Friday or early next week.



The main reason it's of for automotive Shiatsu massage.

You can really see the left hand sag

This is the second reason. The front shackle mount got smacked up a little and pushed the passenger tire too close to the rear.

The car actually looks pretty good with the Keystones on it so I think I'll add them to the Rallye wheel, steel wheel with dogdish rotation.
It had all four tires swapped out to Keystones before we took it to the frame guy.

Just got the call that the car is ready to pick up. My body guy went out and checked and says it looks perfect. Now he can get the primer finished and throw the color on once my grille gets down here.

I finally made it out to get a look at the car. The line between the door and front fender is better, but it's still not as good as I'd like. The body line is still running downhill a little too so the car is going back on the straightener again in a few days. The gap is about a 1/4 inch at the bottom and 3/8 at the top of the gap. I was a little  so I didn't get any pics. The car is sitting on dirt right now so it's a little difficult to see if it looked straight from the front now.
I was getting pretty tired today hearing how the gap was off because it's an aftermarket fender and the bodyline was running down hill because the fender is made wrong, and the hood is twisted because it's aftermarket etc etc.
My body guy does really great work but he's really quick to blame anything on the fact that it's aftermarket parts and according to him they're all made wrong.
