My Challenger came home yesterday

[cudazappa]

so I guess it's my turn to ask all of the "e-bodies are new to me" type questions



First on the list of stuff to do is get the floor, frame rails, subframe connectors, and roll bar installed, then I guess the next logical step is the rear quarters (now that the chassis is reinforced) and then I'll figure the trunk out when I decide on a fuel cell.  Oh yeah, this will be my first real welding project.  Got a 110v gas wire feed welder just for this on craigslist for $250.  Came with an almost full spool of wire AND a tank almost full of gas!

It's gonna take a few nights of emptying out the car though!  There's a lot of goodies in there that I'll have to make command decisions as to keep vs. sell.  Couple of dashes, console, trim, parts I have no clue about, even found some misc hardware even

You may want to bring Santa back to life.    Because you are going to be asking him for alot of new parts for the Challenger for Christmas!    

Great score on the car.

Congrats cudazappa,what did the other half say when it arrived?

[cudazappa]

thanks guys!  I've spent 3 nights in the garage, and I ran out of room again!  Got to get more boxes from work and re-arrange the garage attic to continue sorting this stuff!  Found several things I don't need (like who needs 3 complete tail panels/lenses?) but most is getting stored (I'm keeping 2 copies of stuff, 1 for the car, 1 in case)  The trunk is EMPTY!!! but there's still about 12" of stuff in the interior!

Moparclown, as for what she said... well, not much really, just that I better not get in trouble with the landlord.  Considering I'm doing the lion's share of bailing the family out of trouble that they drag ME into, I think they can tolerate another "toy"
