MISTREATED FRONT FENDER  AWAITING REPAIR

The body shop made progress in restoring one of the Charger’s front fenders while RHM,Jr. was away. As reported previously the fenders were severly mistreated while the vehicle sat dormant for several years.

Final block sanding and another coat of primer is all that remains to finish the first fender. Work will begin on the other fender immediately following completion of the first.

We have also been trying to determine exactly what color of black to paint the car. RHM, III will make his final decision shortly following which the body shop will begin to “cut in” the fenders, doors, hood and trunk with the paint.

The initial plan was for RHM, Jr. to install the driver, passenger and trunk floor pans. That may still prove to be the case but as part of the estimate for the remaining body work an estimate for installing the floor pans was also requested.

Completion of the front end suspension and steering upgrade is the next major task. Once the front end has been reassembled and reinstalled one of two things will happen. Either RHM, Jr. will install the floor pans or the Charger's chassis will be moved to the body shop where that work will be done in conjunction with the remaining body work.

Check back soon for further updates.
