| Kurt's 1970 Charger R/T |
| At the Body Shop (cont.) |
| Day 105 - New brake lines are installed on the 8 3/4 rear axle. The drum brake backing plates are removed in preparation for the new disc brake setup. |
| Day 106 - Ooh... Look at that!. This Charger will stop on a dime now. |
| Day 106 - The K-frame and steering box are back on the car. |
| Day 106 - Here's the front suspension and brake setup. The front end received new lower control arm pivot shafts, new torsion bars, new strut rods, poly bushings and new disc brakes. We still need to install the shock, tie rods and sway bar. |
| Day 110 - The shocks, sway bars and steering components are installed. It will be interesting to see how it handles those interstate on-ramps and highway curves now! |
| Day 110 - A new rear valence was installed to replace the mangled and patched one. |
| Day 110 - The rear window shelf is finished and ready for paint. I had to build the pieces, by hand, for the lower window area and corners when I installed them six years ago. |
| Day 110 - The rear quarters are almost ready for paint. It should only be a couple of weeks before we shoot some Plum Crazy . |
| Day 122 - We're attacking the fenders next. There is some work to be done here. No rust though which is a good thing! |
| Day 127 - Now we're havin' fun! Some Plum Crazy paint with House of Kolors clear coat. Still need to color sand it but wow does it look good! The pictures don't do it justice. The House of Kolors clear just makes that purple POP! |
| Day 127 - Here's the hood in some late day sun. |
| Day 133 - The black Gator Grain top material. This was original to the car and a very rare option. We'll have this installed when we're finished with the paint. |
| Day 133 - A guide coat of Plum Crazy is applied to the car. When we go over the panels with the sanding block you'll pick up any imperfections right away. |
| Day 133 - Not only will this help with sanding but it gives us a taste of what the Charger will like soon. |
| Day 140 - The doors on placed back on the car for hopefully the last time. |
| Day 127 - We used House of Kolors black on the inside of the doors. |
| Day 127 - The underside of the hood is complete. |
| Day 153 - One last coat of primer is applied and wet sanded with 600 grit paper. |
| Day 153 - You can actually see the primer shine in the light after sanding. |
| Day 147 - The guide coat is carefully sanded to reveal any problem areas. |
