WOW, LIL...

Just awsome. You have inspired me. I'll be diving into my own metal work shortly, thanks. :cheers:

Hey Lilwendal, Great work!!  That car will handle like new once you are finished!  No more body twist  :yesnod:  I agree with you 110%... AMD has really pulled through for us Mopar guys.  It's about time someone produces more than just two-piece floors and lower quarters.  I have been using all AMD metal on the Superbird that I am restoring.  IF you want to check it out, I have been posting pictures on the Aero page http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,43102.0.html

Man Justin, your work on that Superbird looks GREAT.

Lots of beautiful hand-patchwork.  The inside surfaces on the door, the hood under-bracing . . . impressive to see it being fixed that carefully on such inconspicuous areas.  Butt-welding all that stuff like that, those areas probably won't need more than a medium-build primer layer over any of them.

Hey Mike,

Glad to see you can get some work done to your car with all of the parts your crating for us over here......

After your topic about the gauge cluster resto, this shows us again that you are a very skilled man. The paint detail about the cowl is just awesome to think of....

NOS is nice, turbo's are neat, but when it comes to Mopars, there's no need to cheat...

Nice work, looks real good
How flimsy/wobbly does the car get when you cut out that much floor and Q-panels?
I´m going to do a similar operation on my -68 Charger, do i need a "framejig" of some sort.

Sorry guys...Its still here but not much progress lately. Flipped over to the Charger while I was waiting for the drip rails to show. They did about 3 months ago. but I havn't flipped back over to the cuda yet.  I'm also wrapping up a 65 mustang vert for the wife.  I know...She has bad taste in cars.... But excellent taste in men :icon_smile_big:
Plus the clusters have been killing me.  You guys that live up north must all pull your cars apart in the winter.  As soon as December hit I have at leats 2 or 3 clusters show a week for resto.  There are 11 here now just for clients.
No complaints about all the business though.  I blow all the funds buying more car stuff :yesnod:

Promise to start up the thread again when I jump back on it.  Hopefully after Feb.

what is taiwan?
A repuplic of China.  Where 90% of all your repop parts are made by 9 and 10 year olds working 16 hour days 7 days a week for .35 cents an hour.


it's not a republic of China. it's THE Republic of China. Of course, the mainland People's Republic of China would disagree...
