IT'S GOING BACK TOGETHER, SLOWLY!

The last time our Charger had it's trunk lid attached was November 2007.  As you can see the bottom of the trunk lid and the inside of the trunk were painted before the lid was installed and aligned.

Work in other areas continues! The parts needed to complete the interior center console except for new trim clips have been procured. The clips are on back order. Final assembly of the console will take place as soon as the clip arrive.

The vent window frames have been reassembled but the glass has not been installed. The glass can't be installed until the needed glass setting tape arrives. The new chrome finish on the vent window frames looks stellar. We made a wise decision having new chrome applied.

Dissassembly and refurbishment of the instrument panel is under way. Diassembly and testing of all switches is complete. The panel dimmer switch proved to be defective but luckily RHM,Jr. had removed the instrument cluster from a 1970 Plymouth police car in Arizona a few years back. The dimmer switch from that cluster works perfectly and looks very nice. It will be used to replace the defective switch.

We've started the process of rebuilding a big block 727-B transmission. We have two big block 727-B transmissions (from trucks and motor homes)and one small block 727-A transmission(from a passenger car). We'll be using the tail stock from 727-A and a master rebuild kit to rebuild one of the 727-B transmissions for use in the Charger.

Several of  the padded dash parts and the sun visors have been cleaned, repaired and painted. A new dash cap has also been installed over the old dash pad. In addition a new radio speaker has been mounted and is ready to be installed in the dash. Unfortunately, a defrost vent broke during dissasmbly. It will be necessary to procure a new one in order to finish the dash restoration.

Check back again soon for more updates!
