Starting New Build 72 Charger Rallye

[Daytona R/T SE]

After a year delay finally removed the front and rear windshields, side vent windows, and doors....ready for media blasting! I still wish I could dip it but the only two places I have heard of in the Stl area never answer their phones and I have a media blast guy right in town. He also said he could spray with the raptor underbody coating when done. Ahhhh Progress feels good again!

Who did you call that never answered ?

I had my car dipped locally.

He puts some kind of phosphate ? 

Stuff on it.

I had mine in my climate controlled garage with no primer on it for years...no problems unless somebody put their sweaty hands on it.

Do you have a garage ?

If you don't have a garage...

Give up now.

Thanks Daytona R/T SE

Dale is sometimes hard to catch.

But...

He always calls back.

Leave your number. 

[72Charger72]

Oh yeah I have a garage wouldn't think about it if I didn't. Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the hookup Daytona R/T SE
Just got off the phone with Dale, Dipping scheduled for end of March!
and what a price 700 for body and 40 per door fender and hood....900.00 total with phosphate coating.
If I had found him a yr and half ago I would have already had this done!
Thanks again!

Just got it back but I am kind of overwhelmed as to where to start? My rotisserie isnt done yet. The car is on the trailer in my garage. Phosphate coating isnt quite covering everything as there is some minor surface rust starting. Should I immediately get some primer on it or should I start metal replacement? It needs new floor pans and some work on the areas around the rear seat belts mounts. Looks like rear quarters will get replaced too but all in all its in reall ygood shape.

Heres some photos Hemi-Hampton unfortunately I was unaware the quarter end caps were pot metal and they dissolved in the tank?
Thank God I have that spare car in the driveway lol!

[72Charger72]

So here are some long awaited photos. Finally got Rotisserie completed and Charger mounted. I had to get a quick epoxy primer on it before winter so I am still working on the body work but its making forward progress.

Dale did several pieces for me.  I was real happy with his work.   The 72 is coming along nicely.

I've owned over 50 Mopars and several different years of Chargers from 68 -74. The 72 Rallye is still my ultimate favourite. The doors are, by far, the coolest doors to ever come out of Detroit, period. The ONLY thing Chrysler messed up on was not putting a hood insert on the 72 cars!

Keep going on it...

Agreed Nakita7 this car was never a numbers matching so I am not a purest but Love the 72 doors!

Finally found some time to get to the floor pans. And I know the Media Blast vs Acid Dip debit has been done many times but I had this acid dipped last yr and after removing the floor pans and seeing all the crap left behind from the Acid Dip I think its really a toss up. Still plenty of rust and work even after the acid dip but media blasting would have never got this either...One clean spot on the passenger side cross member.
