Bit of work to do

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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