Charger
After studying the new idler bracket we realized that we needed to make the hole in the hood bigger.
We welded 5/16 brake line around the perimeter of the hole and boxed the inner hood skin to the outer shell.
It still needs some glazing putty and to be block sanded, but this is the hood roughed in.
The covering for the wiring looms that are located beneath the carpeting next to the sill plates were both rusted out and had to be re-fabricated.
Here you can see the before and after photos of the wire covers.
The sill plates are really nasty. Even after polishing, they're still far from pristine.
It's hard to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
The ceiling gets treated to some sound deadening insulation. This is a lightweight foam filled style that won't end up sagging over time.
The floor is also covered with insulation. This style is jute backed and foil covered.
We were lucky to have a friend Greg Fiala that has a '68 Plymouth Fury parts car that we've been able to rob some small pieces from for the Charger. We volunteered to clean up the alternator of his '70 Camaro project car. This is the before picture.
