Hey guys! Sorry for the lack of posting. A lot of things changed on what we were doing to the car. We decided to go back to factory heat, factory 4 speed, along with some other changes in the car. But anyways I have two pictures with more to follow. Before we painted the car we mocked up the motor, clearance was in issue on the pass shock tower so it had to be modified... Here's a pic right after i painted the car. Many more pics to follow... We are planning to finish this car for Carlisle this year. It will be in my booth and you guys can check it out in person! Steve

There may not be a lot of original metal left on this Challenger, but your post makes a perfect case for restoring these cars. Had it been scrapped or parted, there would be one less Challenger out there. Nice work!

Looks awesome Steve! I'm still awestruck at how you turned such a rotten heap into such a beautiful car, hope I can make my 73 charger look the same one day! Keep up the good work and keep the posts coming, always look forward to seeing your updates!

The car looks GREAT!! I can relate to the work required to get to the level you have your car. An FYI for you, if you haven't gotten to it yet, you will have to clearance your rear valance if you have offset rear spring hangers (it appears from the pics that you have the same as I put on my car, Dr. Diff's b body rear into e body kit??) If so, here's a pic of what I did.... jess
Yeah, it's hopped up to over 160...

Thanks Brian! We only have 26 days until she needs loaded up for carlisle!!! We have had some parts come in damaged or not at all holding us up from doing things in a normal fashion. But we should be getting those items in shortly. Ran The headers then exhaust boy was that a nightmare with the 3" pipes... Heater box before and after... Inside prepped for dash... Thats all for now folks!

I know you say it will be in your booth, no chance of getting it judged?? My parents will be up there, so I'll send my dad searching for you and the car. Hopefully I make it to the nationals, will it be there? Keep up the awesome work. Very promising career ahead of you if you go that route. edit: you could really entering it into the young guns section (if that section is still alive even). hah. if not that, what car/cars will you be planning on having at the nationals?
