WHAT IS THIS?

What is this strange looking thing? Those of you old enough to remember the 60’s and early 70” may recall that curb finders were used to help drivers parallel park. They were attached to the front and rear fenders on the passenger side and made a scrapping noise when they came in contact with the curb. The part in this picture is what clamped the “feeler” to the car body fender. Protruding from the hole were the pen is in the picture was a 12 to 14 inch piece of flexible wire. This wire is what felt for the curb.

The weather in SE Texas was uncharacteristically cold the last couple days of January and the first three of February. Consequently, nothing was done to the Charger during this time frame.

Work to strip the exterior and interior is complete. The steering wheel and steering column are the only items that have not been removed. The car will be moved to a shop shortly for the removal of the engine, transmission, gas tank and exhaust system.

Initial contact with a body shop has been made but we still have no definitive date for starting the body work. The needed sheet metal has been identified and a cost estimate established.
