Super impressive metal work! since you went the hard way and didn't use any bondo have you thought about polishing/clear coating and leaving in pure steel?

The sheetmetal is MUCH straighter....but not that straight. It would take hundreds (maybe even thousands) of hours to do that...so I won't go that direction. I'm contemplating colors at the moment. I like the B5 blue on modern challengers...and my wife wants a graphite or gunmetal silver. I'm torn...

When you get the charger balanced on the rotsserie, could you tell me the distance from your front frame rails to the center of gravity?
Or the distance from the center of the front frame rail bumper bolts to the pivoting point?

I am in the process of building myself a rotisserie
Thank you
Don

The exhaust was running pretty close to the rear frame rails, so the rear rails were narrowed next to the cylinder mufflers. The firewall welding was also finished up.
