I showed the guys at work the thread, with the Start" and the "Conclusion" and they were amazed - especially considering the sheer mileage involved and other barriers to overcome......

Thanks again for all the words, it really is appreciated.
This stage of the Charger's life's been a long time coming and at times I had my doubts that it would ever be finished.
Sometimes I felt like quitting but that'd have been wasted effort and time.
We've learnt a lot over the course of this project and yes knowing what we do now there are things we could have done better. Would we rework it? Nope, nows the time to enjoy it, drive it and finish the what now by comparison are the little bits.
Will we do it again? Hell no, not with something needing the same amount of work, we're both the wrong side of 50 now
Some more photos,

I assume it fits in your garage with plenty room to work around it too.
Drive it and enjoy it now

Thats some serious dedication there! Great skills and patience. A lot of that looks familiar with what I've have had to do my e body, you give me hope that mine will be finished one day too. You should be very proud of what you have achieved, hats off to you sir!

Errr I think I'm okay now Miles
I really appreciated the offer at the time and had every intention of collecting them, just never got around to it.
I did however go with the wheel sizes you gave me that you'd had on the Road Runner, although I've got 225s on the front as I couldn't find any 235s at the time.
Thanks again

Threads like this are incredibly inspirational for folks. Definitely made me feel like getting out and on it! Can’t wait till I’m at this stage… still seems miles off!
Honestly the man hours and work gone in to this car. Outstanding. I love it!

Well it's been a while since the threads had an update but I've been enjoying driving it
First thing to get sorted was fitting the heater, mainly so I had some sort of demist function.

Today it was time to make a trunk divider to hide the back of the seat and also a parcel shelf, which could've been better.
