73 Charger SE

[walt francis]

This was sent to me from dano3 so I could do a replica of my 73 carger SE

It has been in Easy-Off since last night and I can't believe how fast it is stripping and how many colors are on this...orange yellow, green and blue

And the toyshop is open for business and I have been working on the Torino too as you can see it on the holder

[walt francis]

I know I have seen the opera windows made for the charger I just can't find out who did it, would anyone know who it was ?

[High octane]

Walt,

That looks like a nice project you've got going there. Your hobby shop looks good too, kind of homey and a place where

one can get comfortable.

Yea! It's a 12x12 shed just for the toyshop and I have all the comforts I just have to insulate it so I can work in the winter, right now even the heater won't warm it up enough for me to work out there in the winter...LOL

If you find out, I'd like to know that too. These cars are very dear to my heart. I own 6 of the real things. One is an 83 though and one is a race car. The only one I don't have is a '73. and none of them are an SE either. I'd like to get another '74 SE like my dad had. IT was white with green top fully optioned with sun roof and all. 440 slap stick and Road Wheels.

Well here is after the first cleaning ;D

[walt francis]

So as you can see she is primer and shaping up but still have to do the opera windows

The trunk was really scared so that is going to take a little bit of fussing

The interior cleaned up pretty nice

[RodneyBad]

Clean and primed and It's looking good.

Can't wait to see what ya do for the Opera windows.

Never knew that's what they were called tho.

[ricky12]

[rustybill1960]

[walt francis]

I think I might have found the rims for the charger

[dwc43]

NOOOooooo. Not chevy rims on a Mopar, sacralidge. lol

[Casey]

I don't think anybody makes the louvered quarter window inserts. Someone on the SA Form did a similar car last year, but I don't think he cast the inserts separately.
