Sorry not an A-body…My Charger Project

Hi all, hope you don't mind but I wanted to post some pics of my Dodge Charger project. Just wanted to say I love this site, I read here alot, although I haven't posted much yet, but I like this site better than any other mopar forum out there. I'll start off by telling you about my project and show some pics I have taken along the way, then try to keep up as I progress.
I bought my first Charger R/T almost 10 years ago, I started stripping it, to fix it up and it was rusty...very rusty, but was a complete car. Pretty much every thing from the doors back needed replacing. Well about 2 years later I found another Charger R/T that had a solid shell and not much else going for it, so I bought it and decided it would take both to build one. Well since buying the cars, I got married, had 2 girls, bought a house, then had a baby boy, so it gets worked on as time and money allows. Cool thing is over the last 8 years I have collected alot of parts along the way and since my latest job transfer I have more time to work on it so I have been seeing some progress lately. Another story I would like to share is my "body shop hell" story. A friend (so I thought) was gonna fix the body and paint it, well long story short he kept it 2 years and did nothing, so that was 2 years lost on the project, and has led me to decide to do the bodywork myself. The car had a little rust here and there, but no major rot, just a patch needed here and there, a new trunk floor, and a left rear floor pan. The car has a non-numbers matching 440 that I rebuilt (stock) and a 727 TF that I also rebuilt. It has an 8.75 rear with 3.23 gears.

First Pic- the first charger I got... wound up parting it.
Pic #2- The second Charger
Pic #3- I took this pic after getting it back from 2 years of body shop hell,
he let it sit out a while, thats why all the surface rust.
