Today was just about emptying out the doors completely, remove the quarter glass/hardware, etc... The grill bumpers, valances, everything in the engine compartment...
Take note of the antifreeze decal ...WAY over on the passenger side  :looney: and the typical on the slope installation of the emission decal...

Going to finish off the week with the underside....I think this is the main area of concern for Douglas....It just looks real bad under there....at the very least the brake and fuel lines would have needed to be replaced to make the car safe in my opinion....
When I'm finished it will look like a shiny new penny underthere :bigthumb:

Note: Check out the crooked seat support bracket  :drunk:

On another note....Got an email from the body shop today....the FF4 Sunroof Challenger is going to be ready to pick up Saturday...

Gees...I hope they mixed enough extra paint  :thinking: :)

Love this thread. Brings back memories of not long ago and has me wanting to do another. Unwrapping these untouched jewels is as fun as putting them together. Please keep the pictures coming as you progress.

That's the beauty of original cars. No expert advice needed, only photos of what came off.

Alan, could you please post a couple clearer pics of the paint line between the organisol and body paint, especially around the hood latch area and hood pin brackets?
Would love to crawl around this car for a while.

This is what happens when you miss with the spot weld gun and nobody in QA notices it  :o :dunno: :drunk:

Notice the screws holding the valance on  :thinking:

So is the spot weld going to be fixed or saved in the restoration?

... I found this odd holding down the brake line on the frame rail...I've never come across this before. I've seen it on the apron on the "over rail" brake line, but never like this :huh:
