New guy thought I would post some pics of my General Lee build!

I bought this 69 Charger about 1 year ago and have just started the sheetmetal replacement here within the last 2 months, car had sat about 25 years inside a garage, I have always been a Mopar guy (grandfather had a Dodge dealership from 1965-1991 so Mopar is in my blood) Always wanted a General Lee and finally found a good car that was complete to start with I paid $4500 for it, It was originally a spring special 318 car red paint, white interior, black vinyl top, I have a 440 at the machine shop that I will do a mild build on nothing crazy, I found a 8 3/4 rear out of a 70 Charger (had a 8 1/4 original) I plan on breaking out the sandblaster here in a couple weeks and blast the rear that way I can get it in epoxy so I can start sheetmetal assembly. I could go on all night! Here are the pics!

Yes, I was originally just going to go with quarter skins but the rear filler panel was oil canned and I said I have went this far heck with it and it had some rot in the rear corners so I wanted to make sure I cut all that old pinchweld out and do it right!
