Had some time to work on the Charger today. Got both doors and fenders, bumper, front valance and grille assembly off. Hood and trunklid is already over at my buddys shop, to make molds to build them in carbon  :D.  First thing that striked me when i started to get parts off here, is that I have been lucky with my car. I bought it in Burlington WI, and have no idea of what it really has been through before, so i had to rely on what we could see there and then.
A pillars and section with door hinges are dead solid. Same with inner fenders, even under the battery holder.
All the other stuff, like a little floor rust on driver side, and ofcause trunk rust and bad craftmanship, was things that i saw right away.
Guess i am just superhappy to tear that thing apart without any surprices :2thumbs:
Sorry for the bad cellphone pictures!!

So i guess i officially has started my "voyage"  :2thumbs:
Since we only live once, and all this is not just a dressed rehearsal, but the real thing............ Well, enjoy it!!!!

Hey Rolf, is the carbon fiber budget eating away the descent-camera budget?   :nana:

I gotta get my ass down there soon! The roads are drying up.
