Could work faster on this to get it done, but im in no hurry at all.

I got the Charger to drive round in, so im not too bothered how long this takes me to do.

I just do a bit when i feel like it.

Gonna try and get the rear end sorted before i bring the charger back in for its spring tweek up.

What amazed me about this car when I had it was that the floor was complete but the roof has almost completely gone!

The floor looks really good in that picture, I know you have treated it but the pitting seems minimal.

I don't envy your task of having to make new A pillars.

Keep going, this will be awsome when it is done.
