68 Dodge Charger - just a skim of filler

And a stroker kit for the Monaro... Should be a laugh! 

As am I jamisie!! sadly the one part (crossmember) from AMD has had false delivery promises 3 times from two different suppliers now, its the final bit of big metal to go under the car to button up the underneath so
effectively has stopped play.

I forgot I had the Royal Mail 'you owe us customs monies" letter for my missing seat braces so they should arrive shortly now i've paid it haha.

Interior covers ordered and just deciding which brake set to order and stick in a container, then I can think about colours/paint but it'll be kinda determined by the interior remaining the OG blue, it saves a lot of $$$ on all new interior parts.

lots of moving parts behind the scenes trying to get things lined up, you realise when something isn't available from Rock Auto what an utter Ball ache it is buying anything from any of the other suppliers, they make it so hard to order and deliver in a sensible timescale for anything less than the price of a mortgage, but if all this was that easy we'd all be restoring old $hit boxes wouldn't we !!

back soon with piccies and progress

well, movement finally! rear brakes have arrived, fronts en route in a container, rear pans are now fully welded in and the cross member that Jegs lied twice about and caused this 7 week delay is now in the hands of Parcelfarce, yep from bad to worse !! fingers crossed it'll arrive this Friday.

Rear corners being tidied up and the death covering they call Raptor has been applied to the inside and boot (by god its like breathing in the plague, absolutely horrendous to catch even a whiff but it looks 'finished' in there now and whilst it's not the OG paint finish it was done to offer maximum protection for a bazillion years in this UK weather. Few boring piccies of said Raptor mid coughing a lung up

Trying to orchestrate getting my brand new interior over from Florida soon, from there it's wiring, paint and freshen up the wheels. Stick an exhaust on and we're ready to rip the streets up

That Raptor coating looks pukka. Do you have a link to the stuff you used?

my guy suggested this, it's the Black version but apparently there's a tintable version too £80 ish inc spraygun

Fantastic build. Certainly it will be a nice driver.
I like the blue interior; makes it stand out also in that area.

Thank you. I've all new interior but it's stuck in Florida waiting on the next container delivery. the outside will be the original blue one day when they accept organ donor as payment for fresh paint haha

Well despite world madness I somehow managed to get an exhaust fitted haha

Various obstacles prevented start up, no battery, heater core thingy not hooked up so it pees water into the passenger footwell, all solvable but I REALLY wanted to hear it running.

Disc break conversion going on next week, brake lines, engine tuned etc etc then I might be able to drive the bloody thing!

Absolute mega, a Charger is right near the top of my list of cars to buy when my six numbers comes in. Read the whole thread and now booked marked. Watching lots of Dukes of Hazard during lock down reliving those childhood memories two of the greatest creations Chargers and Daisy! plus I read there is a Charger forum, long may the lock down continue!
