Challenger getting work at last - 7 year on update.

Post by MattH »

Never thought I'd actually get to post in the workshop, but here we go.

Bought new dollies to move the cars around, and get the Chally where I can get near it, and empty it of all the parts that have been stored for 10 years or more.
I also appear to have found a bettre way to resize pics at long last.

Garage is also home to the model aeroplanes, I'm not allowed them in the bedroom anymore. :)

Not sure yet Dunc. Im not going rotisserie, more get it in one piece and drive it.
Lots to decide on, but Jack likes the idea of a Sam Posey tribute. I have 70 wings and front end, just need the T/A scoop and boot spoiler (sold one 5 years ago :cry: )
Race car look can be a bit rougher round the edges and get away with it. ;)

And I reckon Blue could knock up a front spoiler like that, having seen his panelling talents in aluminium :thumbright:

It would be nice to see a Posey tribute car. I fancied building one myself.

Just thinking, it must be nearly 19 years since I last saw you out in that car Matt. The first Mopar Nats wasn't it?
