Decided to buy the rear quarter panel extension end caps for the Dodge Charger conversion. They are cast aluminium and sit directly over the rear bumper. They are awesome and make for an interesting new development in this rather organic build.

Finally sorted out what width to use for the rear bumper, cut and tacked it.

In this pic I'm beginning the process of blending it in to the rear quarter. There's a substantial difference between the two profiles but it's coming together. I've also ordered the rear bumper fastener kit to fill all the factory holes and am getting a bloke to CNC plasma cut the holes for the rear lenses to fit through. This plate I'll then weld into the bumper and have the whole lot chromed up.

Right way up this time but obviously too wide. I've cut it down the middle and begun fitting it to the rear quarter.

Bought the lenses also, both from the US. In this pic it's all upside down. The growler exhaust tips are a charger period option back in the day. Great excuse to go twin pipes from the 13b back.

While we prepare for our 5th kid I've had to tone down the spending somewhat. However I did manage to provide myself with a fabricating project;I'm putting a 73-74 Dodge Charger arse end on.

Altered the boot lid profile to better suit the charger lights. Still a couple of months from getting the chassis from McDonald bros.
