I will, I'm going back to the yard as soon as the guy goes back down there.
I'll get lots of pictures, I'm going to stuff my head into every corner of it.

Hopefully that will be the intent. Lots of ideas. I might make it my dd while I finish the red car. Let Andy drive the truck, lol, he'll like that.:zombie:
Not sure. The part number indicates a 1985 engineering P/N but not indiciative of when it was made. Usually there is a date circle cast/molded into the part that indicates this, but not necessarily.
So, here's the hatch before:
And after stripping it:
Bondo work tomorrow.
As an interesting note, I found rust all over this hatch under the blue paint. It wasn't bubbled up though, it would soon.

Um, not to question Mr painter man, but isnt that still more surface rust showing? Shouldnt all those spots be neutralized before mudding?
Nah Nick, it is just the picture, you have to trust me, there's no more rust.
I love the look of bare metal. If there wasn't so much plastic on these heaps I'd entertain the idea is clearing over all the steel.
Jeeeez! I can't imagine the time that took, not to mention the incredible skill involved.

You gotta give it up to Chrysler.
Back in the 70's, the Mopar contingent was few and far between. Ford and Chevy were the only brands that generally was considered "popular".
Yet there was always "that guy". The one in the 70 road runner,...67 GTX, A 71 'Cuda, or in the case above, a 68-70 Charger.
We made fun of the build quality, laughed at the stupid sounding starter, and joked about how More Optional Parts Are Required.
All the while they built these super hot, complex bodied behemoths, knowing that one day some deep pocket collector (that probably was one of the guys making fun of them) would dole out over a million dollars for one of them with a Hemi and a soft top.
A new beer! Great flavor, slight tequila flavor.....not that I'm drinking any...no.....really.......I'm working! I wouldn't do that...

I've been afraid to try that stuff. If your insides don't try to violently exit through your backside in the next 12 hours let me know. I will give it a go.

You had me at "New Beer". So here is the challenge, Ballast Point, Stone brewery then Flying Dog. Happiness comes in a bottle, and yes, you can buy it...lol.
Sooooo....crap.
I brought my stripped hatch back home to do the body work this weekend. I remembered the bondo, sandpaper, even my da so I could start stripping the spoiler. Smart boy, right?
I forgot my blocks. smh.
Y'all should be grateful out there for me. I've absorbed so much dumb*ss through the years that there can't be that much left floating around for everyone else.
Anyhow, my little compressor will run my da, but very slowly....Which is good while I strip the spoiler though. It takes a lot longer, but I don't round off anything that shouldn't be.
Kind of stagnant other than that. I'll paint my bumpers and spoiler this coming week, then they go upstairs with the doors, fenders and hood.
I'm going to try to get the hatch in primer by Tuesday, then I'll let it sit for a couple weeks and let the primer shrink back.
So, maybe this week I'll get back on the body and finally run my lines.
