I spent a few hours putting the front bumper on. Going to have to pull it off to get the grille in, but I wanted to get the brackets on right. Pictures are a little dark since the car is in the warehouse.

Sammy Maloof is done with the charger. It was well over 140+ hours, and lots of it entailed correcting mistakes either I made or others who had worked on the car had made. So on my next update I will detail everything he has done to get it to this point. What point you ask? …

Yes, yes, it’s been a while since I updated, but not a lot going on behind the scenes until today. Finally, got a spot in at Gage Auto and dropped the girl off to get all that stuff I mentioned earlier done. I’ve found that there is a leak in the brake system, since when …
