Nice work, I was doing the same thing this time last year to my 69. Glad to see your doing better and making progress, nice job on the Dutchmen panel. Good luck

awsome job!

 

[roadrunnerman]

Nice work. That's got to be fun and add some degree of difficulty working in and around the back window area.

Good job on the patch work. Looks great.

That looks awesome. Thank CDR for letting us watch your restoration. I have to admit 1/2 way into it. I was pulling for you to see more and more of it done!

Keep us posted it looks great!

I'm about to do the trunk dropoff on the opposite side and the exact quarter patch you just did, great job and thanks for posting so many pictures. Should come in handy when I go to fit my patch! :icon_thumleft: at this rate you'll be back on the road in no time

Lookin good dude! You are gettin er dun. Thnx for that tape tip, and a few other things I've picked up on, like the big washers and screws to hold the patch in place, I've never seen that.
I'm jealous of your progress. I have a 68 also, 68s RULE!:headbang:

Great patch work you've done! Love the last shot of the sinister looking hind end up in the air This is going to be a sweet looking 68!!

Great job you've done on the metalwork. That really is a nice solid car - compared to what mine was anyway. Have you picked a color yet?

That's awesome! I'd love for my Charger to have an overdrive trans. How do you plan on doing the crossmember?

Not sure if you've already seen it but this article could be of some help. Found it when I was looking into transmission options, pretty good pictures of everything they fab'd up

Nice work! Funny, I was just test fitting my connectors and boxes, turn my computer on and see your same ones installed. What type welder are you using?
