A life size model thats missing half the parts out of the box,it has been interesting and quite a learning experiance i have learned to fabricate/form sheetmetal,weld,use a paint gun. It's still a ways to go but i can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Well ya'll things have taken a slight unplanned turn,my son had to have his wisdom teeth removed [he's got insurance] but had a large copay that put the charger on hold [paint purchase] so to ease his finances i had listed the fiberglass fenders[extra] that came with the car. Well some guy has been intrested in them for several weeks and finally yesterday came to look at them,he asked if we had any other parts so we went in the shop to look and see if i could help him out. It seems they bought a 71 charger awhile back that is really rusted when they saw ours they were intrested in it they looked it over asked where we got the replacement sheet metal ect.They ended up making my son an offer and he accepted it so the Charger is going to a new home next weekend [if no problems arise]. Today my son and i were loading the parts into the car and he ask me if i was sad to see it go "yes i am but we done good while we had it" he then realized that when we got it it came on 2 trailers and 3 trucks and it's leaving on a rollback and a pickup thats progress.Plus i have been suffering with arthritis in my hands,knees,back for some time now recently it has become worse so it's probly a good thing he sold it i don't think i would hve been able to finish it in a timely manner just getting thru a week at work is hard enough! Don't know if i'll ever get my car done probly will have someone else do it we'll have to see.

Re: Charger comes home
Sometimes things like this happens, hopefully he learned some things that will prep him for another build some day.
