    Hi Sam,


    Just a word of advice buddy.  Discipline yourself and Keep the New Renter Garage Clean, you will enjoy the build more if you are not tripping over stuff all the time.   See if you can get hold of some shelving and put all your stuff up off the ground neatly.  And take a broom down to sweep up after you finish working each day.

    The Challenger is looking great with its new floor in place, you are making awesome progress, keep it up and keep it clean :2thumbs:

    Holy cow! :scared: I had no idea you could rent a garage like that. What does a shop like that cost to rent per month? Talk about getting after it, especially if you are paying rent. I would be done in a month for sure. How goes the title retrievel for your car? Hope things are coming together for ya. :2thumbs:

    Thanks for the advice hemiken. Shelving is in plan very soon.  As for the title I am still working dilligently at it but still haven't got my bill of sale back from Shawn.  The rent is 800 a month, not including utilities.  Luckily the guy is letting me use his welder too!

     :bigsmile: That looks really nice buddy, you will have to flick some of that red/brown etch over the floor to seal the welds.

    You are making amazing progress, you will have your T/A clone in no time old mate.................. :woo:

    Thanks everyone for the replies.

    Don,

    As far as color combo goes, im stuck between plum crazy or black with the t/a paint scheme.  Any opinions?  My drive train right now is a 1971 340 with some bumped compression. Six pack, A833 manual trans, and outback i have a B body axle that houses a 3.91 suregrip.


    As for whats next for me to tackle on my car, I will move towards the back and replace what metal needs to be replaced back there. Then bounce back towards the front of the car.  Here's some more pics of my progress.

    White is definitely a pretty gnarly color for a challenger.  With the dog dish and red interior that T/A has to be pretty unique.  I myself am shooting for a darker color, but this will be my first time at body work so if the car is no the straightest it may just end up being white!
