Thanks for the tip about the frame rails. Here is a short update. Bodywork is constantly being pushed along..I can feel the work to do vs done ratio already shifting, although the final is nowhere to be expected anytime soon.. I may was not fortunate enough to salvage any sort of build sheet...

The RH side frame rail is coming together... I switched to an alternative epoxy brand as that I usually used so far went up and it became harder to find and buy. Next comes LH frame rail. Same story. As a measure for gaining extra stability while the rear end is not welded together yet, and...

So I decided to slow down on the flooring and do as far as I could on the back before the weather went nuts as usually happens in this part of the world in September and October... First of all I had the trunk area braced towards the parcel shelf and wheel wells and had the rear crossmember...

Boy, that's soo good...an old mopar behind the Iron Curtain... I take my hat off to you, sir. Carry on, you are getting there.

Hello FEBOs, I need a pair of quarter panel mouldings, left and right, possibly with some fixtures... Condition is not very important as the car is beyond dead and it never would be a real breath taker...mouldings must not be expensive, that's all.. please find a pic of the "patient" who lacks...

How about these tapped holes, boys? What job they do, are they worth reproducing on my panel? Thank you once again. Drag

Thank you, aussiemark.

Can someone suggest what's the 1970 Challenger rear crossmember overall length? That's the one living between the trunk bottom' end and the tail lamp panel. It has tapped holes for the rear valance brackets. I had the neighbours fabricators folding me a repo crossmember as the original was...

Remarkable finding...I would not have touch it...honestly...just bringing it back road legal and ride it... it just looks too good to get restored :)

Another floor pan is coming along.

Thank you for your thoughts, budascuda. You are utterly right in your advice. Unfortunately I am not in possession of all the optimal conditions for such a work be done according the rules... I have supported the body from underneath on two sturdy timber beams that on their behalf are rested...

Driver side floor pan was just been welded home. Tomorrow the main piece should get finishef and the bit between the lower cowl and flooring comes next. The pan fitted rather easily and did not take much to blend it to the cut all round. Recently a collegue of mine issued me with a chunky...

Been working on the Challenger recently...doing bodywork is real enjoyment for me.. Rocker panel is solid, neat inside and basically rust-free. I applied a coat of rust converter on the seams after blowing it clean of loose rust and dust. Tomorrow I am getting back to the driver side floor pan...

With the weather being a bit of a pain in the neck for bodywork these days, I got down to the front end. Lower control arms' bushes were pressed out, next I fabricated 3mm mild steel plates to brace the control arms and looking forward doing some welding tonight. The new upper and lower...

Today after work, using some leftover bullets, I managed to throw together a quick "press tool". It was designed around the sole 40mm hole saw I got. After a test bit was drilled and test formed, the pan panel received same treatment. I post pics of the test bit and the pan on place..

Very useful info, I will be needing it soon too. Thank all of you very much.

I listened to a good man's advice and today after work played a bit with the floor pan. An old cast iron milling block served me well with its 5/8 slots. Rest was to pick up the correct ball-head hammer. Far from pro job but would do. Tomorrow if weather allows some three coats of epoxy primer...

Outstanding work....I have no words..Well done, sir.

Thanks boys...a bit of a work from today. Not quite a lot but still counts. The lower cowl patch wasn't a difficult one. The frame rail and the crossmember seem to be alright...thick coat of Wurth rust convereter won't hurt anyway. The upper cowl to firewall bit is already shaped and awaits...

Thank you everyone for the courage and advice. What the car was like when arrived: Some pics showing front LH frame rail work:
