Another danger is if you put it in an area that water can get into.  The foam would hold the moisture and could lead to rust.  If you are going to put it in an area that has a body seal, I'd use LOTS of seam sealer before foaming it.

Well I've just made things more complicated.  :biggrin: The wife and I have been talking about a shop to store our cars and for our home business to grow into. Mostly a spot for the Mopar Motor-heads to hang out!  :ylsuper: We've been looking for a warehouse/shop. Well we signed a lease this week and after a large headache about insurance we now have keys!  :eek4: The owner has never had a non-business tenant before so personal insurance is different. I spent the weekend re-doing the phone wiring and adding cat-5e cable for the network.

I just got home and we now have working phones and DSL at the new "garage"! We got a really good deal on the space. The "garage" is 2011 sq ft!!!  so lots of space to play and collect cars. It has a lobby ( a place to put models) and an office ( to pretend to look busy ) and the rest is warehouse space for the E-body's   The 'Cuda project will stay at the "shop" until painted then I may move it to the " Garage" for final assembly. Most of my tools will stay at the shop as that is my source of income.

The bad new is it eats up my play money. The Twisted Fish eats a lot of money so it may slow down the build.  I just need to make more money thats all! The good news is the Challengers have a proper home to live in and space to grow.

Oh yeah can you say Mopar Party?   :drunk: More later!! Think Mopar

P.s. The wheels should be here in a week!

Nice! We also went with the SRT 8 6.1 crate motor.  Looking forward to more updates (too bad the original pics are gone...)

Yes the picture thing was frustrating. But I thought it was time for an update and I'll post repost a few of my fav pics.  ;)
I have been doing body work which is not my favorite thing. In fact I hate it  :swear: But It has to be done and it saves a LOT of money. I got the back of the car into prim over the holidays. It look great to see it in one color ( even gray ) Finally looking like the quarters belong to the car!  :thumbsup:  The body works far from finished but I needed a guide cote to see where I'm at.
