Awesome. How old is Seth? My son will be 2 in May and he already loves my Chargers (or Char-Jars as he calls it).

Keep on keeping on,

That is cool. My 22 month old stopped by the shop today. The '83 Jeep Cherokee I am working on is a little more boring than a Hemi Daytona though. ;)

Looking good Brian. The Sethman looks great. It's amazing how you can love someone as much as your Charger.   :icon_smile_wink:
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

Well, The sheetmetal is making its way back onto the car and its off the rotisserie. I hope to start the remaining body work this weekend and next week I am taking a week of vacation to try to get the rest of the body work done and in poly surfacer. Then I can block it out for finish primer,let it sit and dry for about a month,then shoot the white paint.

It's nice to see a Daytona clone get built and come together in a professional manner, it's only going to get better once painted and the final assy begins.......esp with a Hemi 4 spd....I've followed Brian's thread from the beginning for some time, quite an awesome undertaking from jalopy to jewel in such a short time!

No, I wont have enuf parts for that at that point. I have a lot of stuff to buy yet....It should be able to move under its own power by then , but not finished and road ready though.

Thanks Paul and all!

Here are a couple teasers of "Mud Week" Im on vaca at the shop doing the filler work to my car. I hope to get most of the body in Poly-Surfacer this week.

Upside down air filing mud sucks by the way.
