Really nice job!

I'm also doing most of my own work in my garage. I also used the Sem black landau, etc on my interior pieces and was very happy with the results. I hope to take mine to it's first show next month if I can finish up the final details before then.

Carpet really makes you feel like you are making progress....................

Someone mentioned holes before as they had replaced quarters....I suggested 2 holes but couldn't find evidence for my memory.......found it......

Really enjoying checking out your progress on the Challenger and can appreciate your efforts in working out of your garage. I remember seeing your pics on the CC website.

I am working on my A-66 Challenger vert, also in Y1 yellow in my garage so can really understand how it is to be doing your own work in your own garage.
Took your suggestion in a before / after shot: I also painted my engine compartment with the engine in the car.
I keep plugging away!
You are doing a great job on your car!

Thanks 340..........., you will get there. Yes I worked on the car for about 4 years and the wife said, it had to be finished as I was using up her half of the garage most of the time. You will notice some dates on a lot of the pics from 05 to 08 or so......I am just going back thru some of the pics I have and posting. Since I was originally on the CC.C site, we had a resto thread there and I had a lot of pics that went away....so I figured I would start posting some of the results here of the progress as it was. Hopefully some of the mistakes I made won't be recreated by someone else.....!!

When I got the car, I got the set of Rally wheels with it. They had the 73 centers and later I got a set of the 70 and changed. But up until that time I had to get them looking a little better....Paint and polish......

That was me who asked about the quarter window holes. I did drill two holes so all is good. Thanks for the picture anyway.

Just posting some pics of what I found when I started the deconstruction. (got that from Overhauling)

Outstanding job!

DAYLEY/CHALLENGER · May 21, 2018, 06:13:29 PM

Ok, if you notice some of the pics, they will have dates back in 2005,6,7 and some without. The pics span the time I got the car until recently. So some are old , some newer. I will post more of the deconstruction as time goes. My car was done as a driver but some things turned out well. Later, David. And thanks for the comments.
