The size of the picture is too big. Moparts only allow you to attach files that are a certain maximum size. I can remember the exact size off hand. Something around 300KB?

This is a photo of the car taken a year and a half ago. This was the start of the disassembly. Hemi orange, automatic that I bought new at west end Chrysler in Toronto, Ontario.

WHat prompted to restore the car was the re-introduction of the new Challenger. I bought one in 2009, modified into T/A style. Well, that wasn't quite good enough and I got the "bug" to do what I had talked about for the past twenty-five years. Rebuild my original. Car will be completed in two weeks.

It looks great although the six pak decal appears to be pointing in the wrong direction.

Sure am: Can't say I know anyone who's owned one from day one and kept it to this day. Epic to me, that's for sure.

Was going to ask you if you like it better after a full restoration, or when it was a brand new car?

Any good "back in the day" stories?

You can PM me if you don't want to post your answers.
