I re-scanned some pictures in a jpeg format so that I could post them here.

More shots after the rear quarters were cut off.

Since winter was going to be coming soon, I decided we needed the garage for our daily drivers, so the Dodge would take up residence in our back yard for the winter. We lived in a normal residential neighborhood with an 80 ft wide lot and a fenced back yard. So, had to get creative in order to get it to the back yard...

After spending the winter there, my wife told me it would NOT be spending any more time back there, or else I would be living inside it

So, it came back to the garage and I got to work on it. This is when it went off to get 'water blasted'.

After water blasting, my friend came over to get the thing all in primer. After that was done, I got to work cutting the roof skin off.

OK, this has gotten lengthy enough, so I'll fast forward. Got the engine in and eventually it ran without undesirable noises and flying parts. I couldn't wait to take it for its first drive, since I had owned it about 5 or 6 years at this point and had never driven it before. And then a few years after it was all done, went to an all Mopar show in Oakbrook Terrace IL and won an award. Had the picture from that show signed by Norm Kraus, "Mr. Norm" a few years later when I brought the car to an event where he was present.

I was in a car club at the time, Keith In addition to the club members, I had many other friends who helped me in various ways throughout the restoration process
