1977 Dodge Aspen 2 Door Coupe Project

Mopar_Gods · Jul 30, 2014

I bought Alice a few months ago for $1900 and drove her home which is right at eight hours one way. Alice and I both had a pleasant drive home without any issues. Here are a few pictures of what has been done to her since having her. Floor Panels have been patched welded seam sealed and primed. I chose bed liner for floor paint. Found a nice complete front split bench seat and rear seat in excellent condition that will be going back in her. All her interior pieces will be painted all black to freshen her up rather then the standard factory blue. The paint I chose is 39143 SEM trim paint with some promoter for extra paint stick. Alice is coming together a little at a time. I will try to keep this post updated with project pictures of her as time goes by. Hopefully I can get more done with Alice when the wife has less honey do's for me to do around the house Lol. Thank You.

Door Panels and Repair

I spent a few hours redoing the inner door panels. I used some wax and grease remover cleaner some promoter and went with gloss black to match the gloss vinyl seats that will be going back into Alice. Just a little tip to help those out who are redoing door panels and having clip hole issues. Take a little super glue and apply on the back side of the panel go around in a circle where the holes are and where the clips snap into place. Sometimes panels tend to soften up and tear over the years are become weak but with just a little super glue used will give the snap slip holes a little more stiffness and hardness for the clips to still work for you.

All Interior Removed and Good Metal

I thought I would finish up getting all inside interior pieces out of Alice today. It was nice to see that all the inside metal is still solid and rust free. Less work is always nice.

That's hilarious. You're doing all this and then talk about "less work"?

I always get more done when wife is gone. Plus beer is always a good motivator for me when stocked Lol.

Few More Things Painted And Half Wiring Complete

Well painted a few more things in the garage today since it was raining all day and got back on the wiring. Looks like the black interior option is turning out pretty good so far. No paint runs and thickly coated. Half wiring complete also. I went ahead and replaced the bulbs and sockets for the map light and ash tray since they were both shot and the radio. Have a few nice chrome pieces I am still waiting on for the dash to be complete. Then sound barrier will be installed and then the new carpet for the floor then hopefully here soon I can install the seats back in her and then get started on the next step which will be the underside.

Cylinder And Lock Replaced

Replaced the cylinder and lock in the glove box with a new one since the previous owner did not know how too. Key less so no more issues with missing keys.
