won't be a showroom correct example, but it will kick ass all the same  :yesnod:

Just between you and me.....who needs another showroom build. They are getting boring  :stirthepot:

We need more like you that aren't afraid to make a car the way they want and laugh off the criticism  :2thumbs:

:2thumbs:  Dead on.  It's your Charger, you need to do whatever makes you happy.


yep what he said , good luck , its fun anyway,,:buff:

when all you own is a hammer, every job  resembles a nail.

Looks like an interesting build.  Please don't take this the wrong way.  But reading your part description all I could think of was Johnny Cash's One Piece at a Time song.

Ha ha I think I already heard someone else say that :)

If I was you I think before you get too deep into this I would be getting the ownership now
At least go ask for real at the ministry office and see what they say and get some of the paper work
Who knows how many hoops they will want you to jump through
They might even make you get your car appraised and I think you could honestly say it is at its lowest value right now if they want you to pay tax on it
next project 70 Charger FJ5 green

Have you checked out what your state requires to get a VIN?
Have you checked if you can insure this car with more than just collision?
:Twocents:

....
about insurance, no, it's hard to get insurance quotes for a car that technically doesn't exist, but i'll defiantly research it  :o

I brought up insurance because I saw recently, maybe even here on DC.com, that someone had trouble finding comprehensive insurance for their build with a salvage VIN.  I think that was in the States though.

Baldwinvette77

Thanks guys  :cheers: , and yeah i really should look into the registration process, my manager is a licensed appraiser and i can do safety inspections myself, so im hoping that will make it easier.
and i have a feeling Cash would be proud of this one  :lol:

got some project going on there Dude  :yesnod:   :2thumbs: :coolgleamA:

It was a good day (finally) today, so i took a crack at the most intimidating rust spot on the charger, the rear window channel  :popcrn:

still need to finish welding it, and a couple other small pieces are needed but i took a break for today.

MoparManJim

Love the work your doing on your charger, I was thinking after I red what you said about the vin stuff, you must have gotten a rebody car that someone used the vin stuff for or something, because I would think the firewall, dash, and tail end has the stuff on it. 

I have a charger as well that I did all my own work on as well, I did share photos of the build at one time.. and just like you just because I didn't do it with new AMD stuff like your doing which alot of folkd would have went the amd route, I rather did it my own way.. :shruggy: I got picked on.. but anyways I like your attitude on your work that your doing, keep that attitude man as that is the kind I have now days myself  :2thumbs:  :cheers:

I wouldn't call myself legend at all.

Keep up that good work man on your build, don't let indygenerllee get to you also..  :2thumbs:.   
You have to realize they don't know any better. :pity:  :smilielol:

Baldwinvette77, First off, Kudos for doing it yourself. Hats off. However, please don't read TOO much into this, but I was thinking along these same lines. I know you've seen the "Hack" thread? Well, I see NOTHING wrong with doing it the way you've done here. However, I DO find it Funny that either the guys here wanna be civil, or just plain Nice (Dare I say), but I was wondering if you had thoughts on why in the "Hack" thread something done this way would be considered "Hacked", yet here everybody seems to be on board and thinks it's great? Just wondering your thoughts on this, as I have ALOT of builds that are done this way, but Like MM Jim, Wonder why some get sh*t for it, and some don't.. Is it a "Clique" type  thing?

    Well the way i look at it, without a vin tag and other stampings, the car is worthless, it might aswell be a pinto, im sure someone on the forum might have taken on this car, if not a similar one to it, but not many would, it's pretty far gone. i plan on turning it into a fun car to keep and don't really plan on selling it, i guess alot of the "hacked" cars get crap because they could end up sold to buyers expecting amd panels under the paint. I don't know why some get called out for it and some don't, i guess it just depends on the car it's being done to, and what it's being used for :shruggy: mine for example will make the deathproof car look showroom fresh  :lol:

Hi Cooter, Yes it is a Clique type thing on here.

For the others. I'm not going to hi-jack Baldwins build thread here, he's a nice guy doing something that alot of you all wouldn't even attempt to do. I take my hat off to this young man for his courage for what he is doing and doing a real good job at his repairs from my point of view. He's trying to save money instead of just running out buying new amd stuff and spending alot of money when he has the skill to do it for less money out of metal he already has. The way this young man is doing it is the way you build your skills up on things. Doing it the way he is doing it will teach him more about cars and how they are built and will give him alot more pride in his work as well and so how hard he is willing to go for something he really wants. It's builds like this that sets the man apart from boys.  :lol: 

Keep up the good work, Baldwinvette!  :cheers:

Cooter. I don't know what hack thread you are referring to. I think that most members are giving him the  :thumbs: because of what he had to start with, and many members here would have brought that car to the crusher for beer money. If it was a #'s matching 4 speed I'm sure most would be singing a different tune. I appreciate the fact he's bringing a crusher back from the dead.
