well today was quite eventful! Having a newborn and trying to restore a 74 charger is a task, but we are getting it done one step at a time! hopefully there aren't to many parts in this series!
Today we figured out we have a faulty choke, but we aren't going to worry about it because the long term plan is to throw in a 440 engine with a 4barrel carb and we only have a 2 right now so eh, not gonna worry about it. it runs fantastic when its warm! just takes a second.
step 2 today was to take the seats out and get started on some of the interior!
obviously as you can see we don't have the biggest garage in the world but we are making use of what we have.
We were trying to tackle the dash today and take it out and see what we were working with.
in this picture, the dash is already taken out in the bottom right, but you can see the inside with the seats out, not the most beautiful thing in the world!
now heres where it gets really pretty! finally got the dash off. it took me a while to get it, and after trying to rip one wire that was wrapped around it off and hitting myself in the nose with my pliers, we got it!
look at that freaking mess! there is quite a few things we have to do with the dash to get it working properly and some more wires we need to connect and reconnect, but we started! there is obviously some good rust, but the body and the frame is in good condition.
heres my helper @tstarnes ! she is out there helping me when the baby is sleeping, and when she is awake she is always looking up stuff on her phone for me on what to do next!
i hope you guys are enjoying this restoration project and let me know what y'all want to see! maybe even a good vote to see what color we should paint it in the end!
