More work on the car ,doors were good front fenders needed a lot of work and trunk lid i replace the lip with new metal and

The front lh fender before.
Great to see another being saved! It's been kinda slow in here build wise! :clapping:
Bit more done fixed up the hood and rear shelf area , new metal.
Painted the underside of hood and inner doors,engine bay and trunk .Bad light and plenty of dust doesn't help the picture quality
Those hood pin holes look like they are in the wrong spot, FYI.
How did those cars make their way to Australia?
Great to see forward progress :twothumbsup:
They have been imported over many years. Alot of cars here now .
Gotta ask, what are the white things on the Charger?
I would say decorations for a wedding :)
The car got used as a wedding car for one of my daughters friends. Down here we use white ribbon for the wedding car.
The Charger has done 3 weddings and about 6 formals for the kids.
Rest of car painted,looking good.
As an old school bodyman, I shook my head when I saw the pic of the fender's interior! Jesus, I can't imagine how much time with shrinking, hammer/dollying, filling and filing. Nice work and if you weren't in the trade, you could be! I also really like your Charger and the colour works fabulously with these cars! Good on ya mate! :cheers:
Mate you need a lot of patience with these cars, Mechanic by trade but learn't body work with my uncle's body guys when i was real young. Real old now.
Nice coming along nicely looking very good .hats off to you for doing the body work should be a great stable mate with your charger cheers :australia:
Can you retain the left-hand drive on the car, or does it have to be converted to right-hand drive?

LOL! Too true in all regards! We're like opposite sides of the same coin. I was trained as a bodyman who comes from 3 generations of mechanics and nearly went down that road as well. I think we both realize how handy that cross training is, eh? Roll on mate and show these young whippersnappers how the old guys do it! :cheers:
You can keep them LHD as they are over 30 years old.
Picked up the car and it's home .12hour round trip and was a bit tired . Car looks great but i have fix the hood pin holes cause they are in the wrong position.Some people should leave things like this alone but i can fix this myself and repaint the hood later.A few pics of the car on the trailer.
Looks stunning. Congrats on bringing it back this far.
SOOO jealous!!!! I LOVE the color.......my first Mopar - 1969 Barracuda Formula S 340 4 Speed - was very close to that color.......

Looks great beautiful colour enjoy :australia:
She's a beauty, but now the re-assembling without making a mark begins! Roll on, you're making us all jealous! :bigthumb:

Plenty of tape in working areas. Also using plastic stretch wrap works well to prevent abrasions. The thicker wrap for palleting.
