Looks very nice...and the assembly usually proves to be the best job of all!  Have you ever thought of doing Mopar only restorations at your shop and venture away from modern cars?   That might keep you happy for a long time.

By the wa guys. working this diligently come with a cost. I can barely use my fingers right now from just plain abuse to them working my a$$ of on this Charger, pluss regular work in the shop. my other hand is not as bad but close.

Pic not for weak stumachs.

I think that most of us can relate, but what's going on with your thumb?

OUCH!!!!

Same thing as all six that are in bad shape. Cut,cracked and like they went thru a meat grinder. And cuntinuing to beat them up hasn't helped them heal.

Brian,

I can relate.

A few weeks ago, my fingers were split and bloody from working in the cold in my new, unheated  garage.

Not quite as bad as yours, though  


Try this stuff.

It works.

Man, those are some gnarly fingers! 
I've had some split, beat up fingers before but those take the cake for sure. 

VERY impressed once again, Brian. I am certainly amazed how you do these one after the other, each one coming out perfect. Can't wait to see this one as assembly progresses.
Get some rest and soak those hands! 

[TUFCAT]

Get that O'Keefes working hands.

Its available at Walgreens I think.

My brother had split finger tips at Thanksgiving....(just like yours)..and this stuff made his hands looks like he was a banker in about two weeks with out changing anything.

It works!!

[jessejames]

Love the color!!!! Looks great!!

[Charger-Bodie]

Thanks again! My wife is on the look out for some "working hands" today.

Meanwhile, I had to see what it looked like with the keystones and repop eagles.

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Looks great!  Love the Keystones.  They're reproducing eagle GT's now?

[Charger-Bodie]

Yep . Kelsey tire. these are 255/60/15. they are basically repoped for vettes, but ive always liked the look of them.

Great to see another 15" raised white letter tire available.

It will do the trick.

It fixed me right up.

No more saying "Son-of-a-bitch !" every time I bump my fingers or try to do something.

[The70RT]

Great and damned Brian. I need to pick me some up, between washing my hands 25 times day and working alot too but not like that. Earlier in the year mine started splitting and I started carrying a Chapstick in my pocket all the time and that has really helped.

November 30th - Tear down begins...
February 11th - Finish Paint...
Total days = 73

Actual working days is probably less than 15... as you do have another 'job'... 

Impressive as always Brian!

Your diligence and attention to detail are second to none.

It's more like 20 something days. I also have a family that mixes in there too.

Even 20+ Days is simply amazing!  Wow...  We do have to remember those were probably 18+ hour days...
