The trunk pan is in. It went pretty smooth for being the first one I have ever done. My progress has been hampered by ANOTHER death in the family. Funeral was in Springfield Missouri again.....2 in the last 12 days. The 300 + mile drive was pretty crazy coming back Fri night. We are glad we left when we did. Now most all of Springfield is without power with 2" of ice covering everything. I am now going to put that so called rear crossmember in I got from THE RUST TECHNITIONS. It don't even look right. Looking back at other threads I guess I will have to modify it to fit

Sorry for your loses. You did get out just in time, things are going to get worse today with .5-1 inch of ice this afternoon.
Your trunk pans look good! Did you use a Mig or Stick welder?

Your trunk pan looks great!  If that was your first time, that gives me hope.  |

Thanks. The inner wheel housings are pretty good. I did have to put in a patch down low on one side. One extension is bad. The other side needs just a patch by the valance. |

I have been trying to update about every month. Got the rear quarter, crossmember, valance & corners on and got her on the rotissorie. Removing the undercoating is going slow......gotta keep throwing more wood in stove to get anything done. Put rust inccapulator on the inside of the rails too.

| Thanks Bill. It is from Autotwirler. They were more than some others but was the only one I seen before hand in person. The welds on it are perfect. I made my own adapters for the rear. The front hooked up easily by drilling an extra hole in the arms and using the existing holes provided. |

I read it the first time! I'll need to check them out. It makes working on cars so much easier. If you tilt it right you can set your beer inside the wheel well without spilling even though beer and good body work doesn't mix.
Are you gonna paint it the same color and if so do you plan on doing that yourself also?
Later, Bill |

| Looks like you're doing a fantastic job! It also looks like you've got plenty of wiggle room in your garage, that can't hurt at all. |

Thanks Buddy. I is going slow but surley. Just enough room to get by on. I have another car in storage and will getting it out when the car cruises start back up. Then I will have to move it in and out every night when working on the Charger. Right now I can leave things laying around. Makes it a lot easier to get a few hours in on it. Nice weather here yesterday so I rolled the car out and worked on it outside Yeah those undercoating fumes suck  |
