Quote: why not!! its a 74 not worth that much, why put alot of time and money into a car that in the long run he will lose money, just makes no sence to me,i can see 70 or 71 challenger but not 72 to 74,
The funny thing is that by making a statement like that it just says a lot about the hobby. I used the word "hobby" to define what the intent of doing all of this means. Hot rodding is an expression of the individual and not based on the worth in monetary form. If that were the case then it would be far more feasible to find and restore a Corvette or Duesenberg so that you can conform to the monetary basis that you propose.
I happen to prefer the look of the '72 Challenger over all the years despite it's muscle options. And while it may be true that a '72 and newer Challenger does not have the draw as that of a prior money year, I find the freedom of a restomod project is much more satisfying without the worry of destroying a numbers matching money car.
That to me is why it is worth all the bother and work. Besides unless you are a professional car restorer and in it for the money all cars are a loser.
For sure, I'm NOT in it for the $$ or to sell the car someday. I do it because I like challengers and I have enough spare parts to put this one back togeather. It also is very rewarding when you do this kinda of stuff, I love it.
71rm23 thank you very much, I will update it almost daily.
Now what about those stupid extensions, anybody have a preference on which one's to use?
Don't want to forget about these kinds of details. I already transfered the bumper jack hold downs to this new extention, but I'm not sure which way to go with them. This corner bracket don't fit worth a darn on this extention. It fit's this one much better but it don't fit the outer fender well very well.
I pressure washed a bunch of the car and removed alot of the seam sealer. I took about 20-30 more pictures so I know where it goes when I reapply it. \
