Thought I'd create a thread of my latest project on the Charger since I now can at least post a link to some pictures though neither Dave nor I can figure out why I can't post the pictures here. So if you don't mind clicking the links follow along with my progress and I'll try to provide so tips along the way.
As usual I get going on something and forget to take some before pics of the condition of things. I set out to replace my carpet which was faded and had quite a large hole on the passenger side. I also figured if I replaced the carpet most of the stink would go with it. Here's a pic of the interior.

Started this back in January on one of those warm days. I thought winter would never get here so why not? Maybe if I start early I could get done by early summer and still get a good amount of drive time in. The car was stored in the garage at one of my rental houses which was up for sale. Worked on it one day on a warm Saturday afternoon then park it inside, at an angle so I could open both doors. Figured I'd bring my heater over and work on it more over the winter. Then the house sold. Drove it home and parked it under my carport. Then it got cold. Bone cold. Jeff don't like the cold anymore so the car sat. Then spring came, late and so rainy and it's busy at work so the car sat.
Finally after work slowed up a bit, it warmed up a bit and I got caught up on the spring chores I got back at it. Stripped the floor and side panels. Hey, anyone know what these clips are from that were under the carpet? After pulling out the headliner I still don't know.

I also found the round slug that was cut out for the shifter to come up through the floor left under the carpet in front. Ha! and a few extra trim screws.
After cleaning it up a bit here's what I got.

Not bad. Just some minor surface rust. Cleaned that up and threw some paint on it.

That's all for now. Gotta hit the sheets. Stay tuned, more to follow.
