I rescued my now rusted up Charger today.

I was in better shape when I left it there last year.
:brickwall: :brickwall:

It now lives in a Mafia member's garage.
Kudos to (The 70 RT) for giving me a dry safe place.  :2thumbs:

:rotz:

Nice way to treat a customer's pride and joy, sitting exposed in the winter air after it was blasted last year.
:RantExplode:


Most of the exterior parts will be replaced, so I'm not that concerned.

His 70 Charger R/T is awesome, a work of art. You all will love it when he gets it finished.   :cheers:

It's safe that all I care.

I have been over at the (so called body shop) the last two days and it is dead. The best body guy he had quit on Monday, and his Nephew blew up and quit on Friday.
He has a body shop that has no qualified body men in it.  ::)

See it all worked out. You guys where right on about getting my stuff out before things went to hell.

Thanks a lot people.  :boogie: :boogie:

Yes he is.

Well, all I can say is there is only one way to go from here, and that's UP!

We have the technology, he can be rebuilt.

I think that I will change his name,... to Darth Vader.  :D

Hence forth from this day a new name has been chosen.

Rise from the ashes, to rule the roads.

I'm glad you got it out when you did. Sounds like the place is going to go bankrupt and trying to get it out after that can be a nightmare from what I've heard.

Sadly you'll probably have to have it blasted again but make sure it gets a coat of EDP afterward this time. Even if you have to do it yourself. Anyway, good save. :2thumbs:

Fortunately, no new parts were ever put on by this guy; thank goodness. Other than the roof all the sheet metal is coming off.

All my expensive sheet metal is e-coated and stored away in my garage.
If he had put them on and left it out side, I would be coming out of my skin.

Things will be done right this time, I have confidence.

In one picture when you are loading your car, you can see a 55 chevy in the frame(actually you can catch a glimpse of it in 5 of the pictures).  Paul was asking what the story was with that car, basically.

Shoebox is a moniker and double nickel would be, of course...55. :2thumbs:
Life isn't Father Knows Best anymore, it's a kick in the face on a saturday night with a steel toed grip kodiak work boot and a trip to the hospital all bloodied and bashed.....for reconstructive surgery. But, what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger, right?

 :lol:

You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

The 4 door Chebi is a customers car, stick with me, he wanted it restored so he put money down to have him start on it. Drove in under it own power.

After sitting for months with nothing done, the guy was very angry and said he wanted some thing done or he's taking it out.
Well the parts started flying off,... after sitting in the corner for several more months, it found its way outside stripped to the bone rusting away in the winter snow.

Nice eh. Well he is good at something.  :smilielol:

Ed, What was this guys name or body shop ?? We have to get the word out about this joker here in KC area.
Also, what did he say when you took the car out ?? ("thanks for the free money" ???)
Take this guy to small claims court. It's cheap, easy and you will WIN.

Yep. Even if he has no money you could maybe still get it later on down the line. I bet he's in trouble already. Probably been doing this for years and it finally caught up with him.

Glad you have it out of there. It's certainly not the car's fault, now it needs some soothing TLC. And BTW, methinks I saw what appears to be a '72 perhaps '71 Cutlass sitting outside your garage. I had a '72 vert - heavy beast, but I loved that car.
