My 70 challenger project

Looking great!

Although you definately need new camera 

Pics are kinda blurry.

I'm going to pick up the paints for my car tomorrow (darn those metallic colors are expensive) and going to work with my car during next weekend.

Keep up the good work!

Good camera, shakey hand and the lighting is crappy so it componsates for that... Im still waiting on mig wire, so getting the brackets ready and get it on the rotisserre later.  Should make things alot easier!

I was bit stunned when I realized that I had already welded one 20kg roll of 0.8mm mig wire into the challenger  . I changed the roll last summer.

I couldn't even imagine working with the car without the rotissere, getting enough burn marks to my skin even with it.

Guess no one else cares to see progress... guess everyone can wait for carlisle and guess which one it is!

No new pics today... probally try and add pics weekly, just finishing removing the front suspension, 4 k-frame bolts to go.  I'm pretty much doing this car as a full time job til the other 70 I'm doing for someone makes it here then it will be weekends only, but I should have til January.  Hoping the weather holds out and may blast it this weekend or sooner, top to bottom and epoxy it.

Hurry up I need a rotisserie!!!!

[SilverChally]

I just finished putting it on the rotisserre about 1am... need to put in the tubing, front to rear, but the car didn't break in half yet  Now to see how the weather for this weekend, tomorrows a clean up and put away parts day!

[SilverChally]

Installed the ds quarter, some wheel house repairs even on the ps with the good quarter, ds extension, some frame work and more... time flies when I'm working on it, wish I was getting more done.  But sure if much easier working on it with being able to turn it anyway I want!

Nice work SilverChally!   I wish I knew how to do body work like that.

[SilverChally]

Thanks, my old man used this garage for his body shop business in the 70s and he also thought at the local vo-tech back then too.  So had sa good teacher, my first project, 69 roadrunner, was a major project and I learned everything I know just about working on it.  I love the welding in new metal part, its the sanding that sucks!

Hi,
 I live in NC but my dad lives in New Castle, PA. A little north of you. Anyway I wouldn't mind conversing with you from time to time. I have a 70 project as well. I posted today about my 70 "Mut" Could use a little help with wiring this bad boy up and also some tips on swapping out the front and rear end stuff.
Later,
Rowdy

Thanks Dave, I'm down to repairing the rear floor pan and some inner cowl work.  I was hoping to sandblast it this week, but been raining just enough to mess up those plans.  As much as I like welding, getting sick of it now!
