Looks good, all part of getting to know a new car.
Ready for the summer, looking forward to seeing it.

Lovely car with really nice, uncluttered clean lines. The body colour wheels look great!!! Fantastic job on the welding as well....very satisfying when you see it all coming together.

Funny what we find in these cars eh...I recently found a shrivelled up dead mouse in one of the horn casings in my New Yorker...nice! :D

Keep up the great work and cant wait to see her at a show or two over the next season

cheers Steve :thumbright:

Welding certainly isnt award winning but its strong and cleaned up OK with a grinder and when seam sealed you cant see it anyway. Plus got the satisfaction of doing it myself, plus it didn't cost me money to pay someone to do it :)

Nice job Dean. I used a gloss truck chassis paint for the Challenger internal areas, tough paint and not pricey, brushed it on everywhere and it will go on quite thick.

You've done a great job there dean,and the satisfaction of knowing you've done it yourself. to me that's exactly how you make an attachment to a car, never mind giving it someone else to do.
well done. richard :)

Now painted, have found a seam on the drivers side that needs more seam sealer, will do that tomorrow then reapply the red in that area.
