Some more pics of driverside and dutchman. Driverside is better since no accident seems to be involved there but still rusty under the paint, dutchman looks fine but
trunkextensions needs replacement. There will be no more original sheetmetal on
this car when it's ready I guess. :clueless:

Started to place the front panels today, went quite good untill I realized I missed
some brackets. Will ask advice in the bodysection when it's time for welding because
I think proper installation is crusial.

Thanks Bart. :cheers: I'm really impressed by the fitting, you just have to push some at certain locations but for the rest it's just like Lego. :2thumbs:
I'm just worried about not getting completly square, don' know how sensitive it is? :clueless:

Seat hooks are correct for a convertible.  2 on each side.


Any idea why there are 2 on each side?

I was also wondering these on my Challenger 'vert

Can't you just look under your seat of your Challenger Vert?

I believe all converts had twin seat mounts for the smaller rear seat

Here things hasn't been moving forward a lot, this cold winter really killed all motivation to go out
in the garage. I have ordered more sheetmetal for the bodywork that will be done in Mei when my friend from Florida will come over, finally decided on the engine and bought all remaing needed parts from Tim@FHO so I can start build the Hemi this summer.
I have also had my doorhinges restored by SMS restoration, really great work. :2thumbs: Next in line
to be shipped over to the US is the switches to Jim and the motors to Kim.
