I purchased my 1973 Charger off eBay back in December of 2021. I titled this lfh b/c I and this car need to get moving. Lfh ( looking for home) It’s overstayed its welcome as have I at my residence. It’s come along way I think as it’s my first classic rebuild let alone by myself. I’ll share a few photos of what I’ve undertaken. I purchased unseen and had no clue what it would need. I’ve been posting on this forum for a few years so some of my work is on file. One big issue was the k member area needing a complete overhaul. Finished! Had to get a new short block and piece the rest of the motor together. Floor were just repair welded by myself through this winter (three very larger sections. I’ll list the rest of what I can remember.
New leafs in rear
Refurbished wheels
Sanded and painted rear differential
Sand and painted underbody
Seats have been striped to metal sanded painted and refaabric (will do covers when times right)
All interior pieces repainted black from baby blue
Hung new headliner
All wiring removed labeled
Grill removed supports painted
Grill sanded to silver (deciding what to do same color as car or just leave dull)
Sanded entire body
Working on body now rear quarter on driver need new skin
door corners need patches as do some under door panels
New bilstein struts in front waiting to do rear
Painted engine bay
Trunk drop off on driver will need to be replaced to finish the rear quarter.
I’ll stop there but it’s a lot.
I need to recoup some of this money spent over 15k. As much as I’d like to see it run I gotta move out and it as well.
I hope this doesn’t get removed or that I placed it in the wrong forum. Thanks for listening
