Nothing to be scared of Steve, rust is rust.

Yeah, but northern cars have a lot more of it!  :naughty:

good to see you working on it! Are you mini tubbing it or just flaring the lower edge of the wheel well to the frame?

Hey Nick,
Not flaring the tub. I will move it, and widen the whole thing. I am planning on running 325/50/15 Hoosier Quick Times on the rear.

I got a little more done today. Welded in the are under the door hinges, and fixed a hole in the door jamb. Took a few pictures, but they are from my cell phone. Walked out and left the good camera at home. Fixed a couple of spots in the front frame rail, I will get pictures of that here soon.

Chris your Challenger makes me glad I bought a California car. Looks like your moving right along and I hope to put some paint on some of my jams in the next couple months so I can get it put back together and try to get it painted this year.
