Well, brushing off the dust on my thread here.  Here is a little more progress.  Once they finish up the drivers quarter the only body work left up top, other than final blocking, is to finish around the rear window and one spot on the passenger side pillar base.  They still have to get back underneath and clean up around the new floor insert on the drivers side but then the rear end comes out and the underside gets primed and painted.  Then the front end comes off and the same will be done, as well as replacing all the bushings and ball-joints.  After that, I think you guys get the idea.  Here are some pics...

Just went today. Got about 1 1/2 hours of no rain and then it rained on us for about 3 hours until we left. We actually went into some of the buildings with vendors and bought some stuff. First time I ever went into the buildings at Back To The 50's.  :lol:

Hey Mark, it was nice to meet you yesterday.  You should have brought your old binder then my kids could have rode around in the back!   :icon_smile_big:

We were supposed to have a tractor pull Sunday.  It was rescheduled from a rain out last week, yep it got rained out again on Sunday.  My wife talked about heading up because neither one of us had ever been there.  We figured there was too much stuff to do around the yard so we decided to stay home and work.
We do plan on getting to Anoka this summer so I think we should all try to meet there sometime.

That sounds good just as long as I'm in town.  Just remember, no amount of beer is going to convince me to let you keep my stroker in your engine bay!  :smilielol:

Paul, nice to meet you too. Hope we can eventually get the two Gen 2's out together before we retire!   :lol:

Wow this thread got dusty!  Well, here's my update... I am in the process of rebuilding the tranny as I write this; it's right here on the floor in front of me.  The power steering pump and unit have been sent off to Firm Feel for some nurturing and they will return with all sorts of friends to help rebuild the front end.

As for the car.  All the detachable panels have been blocked 4 times and ready for paint.  The body has been blocked twice, with two more shots to go.  The plan for the upcoming Thanksgiving break is to tear the K-frame off to disassemble all the suspension, sand blast it, and repaint it.  Then, paint the engine bay, and the motor as well.

From there, Aaron's guys will work on painting the undercarriage by Christmas and when I return for Christmas we plan to paint the rest of it and start reassembling the car.   :2thumbs:

He got the paint from PPG and while I was there we opened up the can to take a look at it.  The paint looked amazing despite being THE WRONG COLOR!   :slap:  Aaron went back to PPG and they sent a color from the late 80's by mistake.  So, they sent the correct stuff recently and it was a match.  Looks good, I can't wait to see it on metal!

I have a couple pics of the car after a coat of dura-blast but they're on my phone so I can't put them up at the moment.  Hang tight, the rock is starting to roll again!   :cheers:

The thunder became silent, the clouds began to clear, the sun's light shone brightly, and choirs of angels could be heard on high... It's a miracle my friends, there is blue paint on my Charger!   :2thumbs:
