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.

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  :eek2:


Try this stuff.

It works. :Twocents:





Wifey found some. Hopefully it will work. I shall report back.

No updates from today's work? You're slacking!  ;)

I blasted and painted the fender splash shields, and stared at it for a while. I'm probably gonna get sores on my butt instead of my hands from all the sitting around.....

I also forgot to mention...

You can seal up the cracks with this stuff,

It'll sting like a bitch for a minute, and you should apply several coats to build up a thick layer, but once it dries, you can actually pick stuff up without cursing like a drunken sailor. :coolgleamA:

Hands are healing up nicely. Got a few things assembled.

One thing I thought noteworthy is that I found a glass supplier( not that it was hard they are on eBay) and received it today and as long as it fits good, I'm really happy. Not tempering marks .not wavy. It doesn't have much for markings like Ecs would, but I'm fine with that. The amd stuff I've used before was not even close to as nice. Ant it was 950. With shopping for all the glass.

Awesome!!  If the glass fits good let us know the supplier on ebay, I am in the market for a set as I'm sure others are too.   Thanks    :2thumbs:

Great work, car looks awesome!

Auto City Classic glass in Isanti Minnesota. I'm told that they are top notch and that their glass is made in Thailand not China. Word is that Thailand is the main glass suppliers to the world.and , China is new to making automotive glass and that's where the amd stuff is made.

Autocity1958 is the name on eBay.

I've purchased two windshields from them. The first was a Pilkington. Several years later I bought another, but unfortunately they no longer had Pilkington. It was another brand, but the quality was very nice & it was still the proper thickness. No waves or distortion. The logo is of course different than OE original, but was not a concern.

Keep the pics coming Brian, the car is coming out fantastic!!  :2thumbs:

That's why F8 is such a attractive color.  When it's done right, like yours, it's breath taking.   :Twocents:

Anxious to see another one of your beauties come to fruition.

Thanks guys.

I've snuck a few things on, but for the most part I haven't done much since getting it back home.

Really hope that the vinyl top and headliner guy don't hold me up too much.

I will have to say, I have never been a fan of green on a charger.  After seeing this car.  It has definitely changed my viewpoint :scratchchin:
