Lately I've been searching
So as time keeps moving and Rusty keeps improving, my mind keeps pondering other things. IF this NEXT thing goes through that I have pondered I will post it very soon...

Back frame..
Looking at the trunk we knew that there would be some damage to the frame rails. There are small holes that will be re-enforced with new steel. After sandblasting both sides I sprayed everywhere I could with the Rust Mort. On the rails, in the rails, and around the rails. I let it sit for a day and then painted the rails until we get ready to work on them.
After a ride down to AirWay Supply for some oxygen, we can now gather materials to make those frame rails stronger.
That trunk has seen better days
You can definitely tell where water loved to sit and relax in the Charger. The trunk was probably full of water at some point. So we began to cut out the cancer knowing that more would be revealed on and in the frame beneath. We left about an inch around the trunk to weld the new trunk to and for some strength support. Instead of drilling all of the spot welds that the trunk had, which was a lot, I used my cousins air chisel and went to work. After getting it started it didn't take too long to remove both sides. It was a mess to clean up in both senses.
