BODY REPAIRS UNDERWAY

Body repairs are progressing quickly. In the above picture Jim Schneider is working to replace the rotted metal around the Charger's rear window.  As the picture shows he is making good progress.

To replace rusted metal a patch has been installed in front of the driver side rear wheel well. The dent in the driver side rear finish panel where it attaches to the quarter panel has been repaired as has numerous other dings and dents on both sides of the body.

The effort to refurbish all stainless steel internal and external trim pieces is near completion. As a follow on activity all parts to be re-chromed have been identified and made ready for delivery to the platting facility.

Restoration of the grille and headlight assemby is also underway. Disassembled is complete and an assessment as to the extent of refurbishments required has been made. One piece of finish trim is dented. It will require either expert repair or replacement. Each of the three sections of the grill have sustained damage to include several broken mounting tabs. There are also various cracks in the plastic parts that need repair if the parts are to be reused. To make  the repairs a product named PLASTEX has been ordered.
