Welded in the trunk floor today and hope to put the inter wheel wells in tomorrow.  The floor fit great with little persuasion.  I was able put a bead of seam sealer at the tail panel and where the interior floor meets the trunk floor. I also used my spot weld wherever I could reach and plug welded what was left.
Thanks

Thanks Guys!

Thanks

How well did that spot welder work for you? I have the same one and it was quiet the pain in the a$$ to get those 18" tongs to work.  Just curious what kind of luck you had.

This is the 3rd car I have restored using the Miller spot welder and I have had no problem other than the weight of the unit. For the most part I only use the 18" tongs. I find it best to have 2 people, one to align the spot welder and one to hold the unit. The weld timer is nice when you can't see the weld. Got to keep the ends clean and do test weld before and after each job to check for weld penetration. What problem are you having?
Thank you!

The amount of work and detail in this project is incredible.
The masking tape over the drill holes for a good contact is incredible.  :2thumbs:

I have been away from the Charger for a few days as my youngest graduated culinary school (CIA) in NY. He is only home for 3 weeks then back to school for a business degree.
I welded in the wheel wells and have the bumper & trunk supports painted and ready to install.
Thanks

Your pics are always great, the quick wipe down really allows the work to shine.

Thank you! If you're going to take the time to do the work and post the progress, then you should take good pictures! I enjoyed the restoration well as the documentation. It is fun to go back and review the work years later.
Thanks

All the metalwork in the back of the car is complete and now it is time for the front of the car, motor, 6 speed, and RMS suspension. (The fun stuff)
Thanks

I just remembered today marks one year into this build that I'm shooting to finish by next spring. It is so true how fast time fly's by as we get older :-(

I drop the K member and remove the bump stops from the frame rails. The K member has SSBC disc brakes and is in good shape with a tight steering box and I would like to sell it if anyone is interested? I will post it for sale soon.
Thanks

I cut the bump stops off so that they could be reused on another car if someone needs a set?
Cleaned up the frame rails and fit the RMS K member.
Thanks
Pat

Looks outstanding.  I wasn't sure how well you'd top the silver 68 but I think you have accomplished that.  :cheers:

Nice!  :drool5:  Are the insides of the fenders and floors going to be painted or undercoated?

I need to get me one of those mini floor lifts! Must make working on the car a lot better than jack stands.  :lol:
