LOOKING A BIT RAVAGED

It’s been over a month since the last update on the progress of restoring our 1968 Charger. Progress was interrupted for a trip to Las Vegas to attend the college graduation of a niece and installation of a Classic Auto Air Perfect Fit System in our 1968 Coronet. I’m happy to report we attended our first car show in the comfort of an air conditioned Coronet this past weekend.

During this time frame the following progress was made on the Charger project:

a)      Ordered and received tool needed to remove and replace ball joints in the upper control arms;

b)      Ordered and received a new pitman arm;

c)      Completed K- member except for reassembling steering linkage using new components;

d)      Sand blasted driver door frame, rust treated area, filed and sanded imperfections, applied primer paint;

e)      Ordered driver and passenger floor pans;

f)        Decided we will rebuild 440 engine as a “STROKER”, still working out details;

g)      Prepared hood for delivery to body shop by sand blasting rusted spots and treating for rust.

The passenger door is expected to be complete this week which means it will be ready for painting.
