I’m selling.. We got it set at 5600 minimum offer-I know it’s greedy but i think it’s a good deal.. I’ll come down later on to maybe minimum 5000 at the best offer and work with someone in the middle.. it’s going to take 3-4 months maybe more id say. Dads happy I’m selling. I told him I’m starting here and in a few months I might post something else for sell.. im just fishing for someone here while im at forebodies… I’m going back on break from social media..

I tapered to much the quarter panel outside line-I wasn’t paying attention.. still have a few holes to weld up..
And I can see the crack in the weld that I’ve got to fix..

I got to do the other side. Then I’ve got to tac the trunk extensions in to the trunk panel.. after the trunk extensions are secure I can lining the valance up before I weld the trunk extensions in fully.. but before I weld the trunk extensions in fully, after lining the valance up, i have to weld the bottom pieces of the bottom quarter panel in place to match the trunk extension holes..

Got it ready for the trunk extensions. I didn’t redo the top part in this side because it looks like it’s in better shape- and also the quarter panels need to be replaced so I don’t won’t to do to much work to em..

Dave said his body man replaced the quarter panels. Dave even said he’s a body man.. is this car really worth 10000 dollars-not in this economy where single parts are hundreds a piece…
this is bondo.. I’m about to have around 30000 to 31000 dollars in this car as a shell-a swapped vin code 318 g code car…

I’ve seen JS23N cars with all the parts engine running as a project for 25000…

I might as well buy brand new quarter panels brand new front frame rails and several more body parts to fix pits get it up to about 40000 in a roller that’s partless-no atleast what I’m going to buy is probably amd bottom part qaurter panels..

It’s welded alittle bit. Someone used maybe 2 gallons worth of angel hair bondo expensive bondo.. see the bottom is supposed to have tabs by the amd…
Dad thinks we can fix it by using the repair panels whoever used previously before us...

Looks like they smeared bondo underneath to hold the panel in place.. it’s some welds but the entire thing is not welded..
also it’s double lined two sheets of metal stacked…

on the outside of the car-they used bondo to fill in the double lined.. looks like they took another cars quarter panel and bonded it in for a fast sell..

I’m gonna try to fix it without buying anything but metal at Lowe’s and using the pre existing metal I cut out.. I just don’t won’t a inch of bondo-3/16 is better to me.. dad said don’t do anything to the driver side until this side is done.. the driver side was done better than the passenger side..

My sweet lord George Harrison makes me think of the challenger in the shop covered in angel hair bondo from a grinder while I’m embarrassing myself in mechanics but I’m thur in another field.. and the investor is singing the song about me about I who help find these new inventions…

Remember y’all Marty Robbin’s big iron he was holding the big iron meaning the big hammer..

What if thur was zues just Zeus was playing Norse in a part of the world…

I see it now someone professional bought the car and did the most watched restoration a restoration on a swapped vin code challenger-think in the right hands this car could have made someone fame a career…someone builds a possible stolen car infront of millions-this car in the right hands could have gotten things changed in the gov especially it had graveyard cars or another professional cameras a story about finding the original owner a cinema documentary that like a story on Netflix with investigators while the build is going on and to surprise the owners family who lost the car so long ago… done right to the tee of how it was from the factory…

but now Clint has it and it’s a amatuer restoration amatuer investigation all amatuer with a crazy story attached to it about a cyber picture code that AARO is investigating..
