Hi Guys,

After working on OZCUDAS car I was trying to find time to work on my own 70 rt,
When my wife asked if it was ok if she could vist her dad. 
Guess what that means!!! welding time
I fabricated a new gearbox cross member from 2.2mm flat steel.
Then removed the old cross member ,then welded in the new one, I also added
some guessts to give it some more strength,
Also while iwas there I made a new right hand fire wall patch panel, as you  can see in the pictures its a bit rusty as well.
Tomorrow I hope to weld in the right hand floor pan and the patch for the fire wall.
Every where you look there is more work to be done, I wish I could clone myself it would get done faster

Hi Guys,

Today I was able to spend about four hours on the car,

I sanded all of the rusty metal around and inside of the right hand rail and sealed it with a
rust coverter sealer,  then I sprayed some spray sealer on it all so no more rust can start.

I welded in the right hand floor pan and the fire wall patch panel.

Next is the right hand front rail

  Incredible work.  Wished I lived close enough to watch you do your stuff in person.  Since that isn't possible I really appreciate your showing your handy work via pictures.  Great job.

Hi guys,

I spent most of today making a new left hand front chassis rail and welding it in.

I then welded the new left and right inner front fenders in, and i decided to seam weld them as well to make it a little stronger.

Next is to weld the rear quarters on and the rear trunk filler panel,
The car is looking like a challenger again

I hope to be able to work on the car next weekend as well, I have to finish the car soon as
we are expecting our second child soon, when the baby is born I will do dought have no time to work on the challenger.

Hi Giys,

I spent most of today bolting the doors and guards on the car ,to get all the gaps right on the car before I welded the rear quarters on .

They make the car look like a challenger with them welded on.
Next is to weld the rear channel in where the trunk rubber goes.

Wont be long and it will be ready for 2 pack primer.
