waiting on pics!

Maximus Progress
 

Okay ,We built a frame table for the Charger just because we knew this thing was going to get filleted up. Then we cut the quarters off rough so when it went to blast it would get everything. We sent it out to Freddy at A&M and had it blasted. And started cutting out the cancer.

Thanks for the pics. Looking forward to seeing this beast come together. Even moreso to the video of the engine in the car burning rubber down the street. (hint, hint) :unibrow: :unibrow:

Looking at the shape and location of the side markers in the first pics it appears to be a '69. Definitely looking forward to seeing what it becomes.

I know I saw it over there

:thumbsup:

We need more GTO.

Yup, rectangular marker lights are '69. Small round ones are '68.

agreed! you started on the GTO a LONG time ago!

I have that same plasma cutter :D

Cutting it down to nothing
 

Okay ,so we got it on the frame table and started basically cutting the car down to nothing. We decided the floors weren't worth saving so we found a really awesome floor section in the junkyard, and cut it out of the car and drilled all the spot welds out then blasted and fit it into the car. I really wanted a stock floor piece because they fit much nicer and at this time in the project we didn't no we were going to go so hog wild on the car. We then just kept cutting because nothing looked good and I did not want to fix some rust and know there was more. So here are some shots.
