Finally got some progress made on my 73!

[Charger1973]

About 2 months ago I did a compete 180 and quit my job and decided to go to college instead... so that kind of changed my plans for my Charger too (which was supposed to be headed for the bodyshop right about now)...  So since I now have very little money to spend on it, I decided it would be best to put it together and work on it slowly, and at least I will have some progress made rather than just let it sit and rust over the next 2 years. Not to mention the fact that I just like seeing it together again. 

So anyways heres a few pics of the car, one how it looked when I bought it, one of how far apart I had it, and the rest are this weeks progress in putting it back together. I havent lined up the doors or fenders yet, but at least they are on there.  I had a little fun too, added my new taillights, hideaways, the passenger side mirror off my 73 SE parts car...  I even got around to taking off those ugly bumperettes!

Don't give up on it, looks like a lot of progress in anycase -- looks good!

-- me thinks a satin black '73 with hideaways could end up to be a very sharp looking car.

Black is nice I agree, and for the time being works just fine   But its a factory triple white car, and with a white interior, I think it will look best if the car is plum crazy with a white rallye stripe to set it off.  Not sure what wheels will end up on it yet, but the ones I have on it will do until the rest of the cars done.

That's cool you are going with plum. You've come a long way on that car. Nice job. Mine is triple white too, soon to be triple black though.

Looks good man, you've been busy. Love the hide away lights.

Third gens are the best.
