It does not look like it has the Charger gas filler hole in the floor and would be easy enough to cut one out but the rest looks good

I'm going to throw my two cents in here since that's exactly what I did but....it caused me some problems in the end that had to be corrected.  If I was doing it again, I'd do what a lot of guys on here would recommend.  First take the car to a frame shop to make sure the car is straight to start with.  Then buy a bunch of 1" or 1 1/2" box steel and build your own jig.  It's not that hard and it will save time in the end.  Maybe 100 to 150 feet of box and you're set.  Just my  :Twocents:

Oh, and you probably haven't listed all the parts you'll need.   Rear spring hangers, front and rear; gas tank cross member, maybe a wheel well or two, a bunch of little braces at the front of the floor that tie together the rockers, floor and front frame rails; seat belts braces under the floor, Wire covers.   But I can't see those costing $10K  unless that's Canadian and you pay full retail.  There are discounters out there for AMD parts, sometimes 20% off of list.

Typical car that just needs a Dynacorn repro shell for $17k - except they don't exist.
