    overwhelming at this point
    « on: September 26, 2005 - 06:31:03 PM »
    I completly stripped the parts on the challenger. Sand blasted areas to see the spot welds good. Now making a dolly to move it around.  Will install new frame rail patches that year one sells. There in good shape but the very back area. the rest are solid as seen in the pics. Began drilling the spot welds.

    Yike! You have a big job ahead of you.  I've done a couple of cars but never stripped them down quite that far although i said I would like to for the one I'll keep.  I'm in the middle of a Cuda resto now and I can't see doing another but who knows.  The only thing I can recommend is don't be in a rush and keep things moving along.  Sometimes I'll go in the garage and just do a 10 minute job when I am not into it.

    I've never even though about convertibles until this year but now the price is out of reach!   By the looks of your last project (looks great) you know how much work you've got ahead of you!

    Big job but well worth the effort.
    Keep a picture of what the finshed project will look like for motivation.

    Nice looking progress, Reflections7!!!!  The frame rail rot sucks, but at least it's nothing too serious.  Keep up the great work!
