so on april 20th 2012 while hanging out after school and work with some friends i get a call from my aunt telling me to come home we need to show you something. i get home to my dad opening the hatch on his tahoe and seeing a 71 challenger R/T grille and a power window door panel sitting in back and i knew exactly what it was. there had been a 71 challenger 383 4bbl non R/T car that was a customers at my dads shop (which is walking distance from my house) that sat there for 4+ years. being in 8th grade when i first saw the car when riding my bike to see my dad at work, i wanted it to be mine. so when i came home to my dad saying heres your high school graduation present, ive been the proud 18year old owner of a 71 challenger that i plan to clone in to a 440sixpack shakerhood car that i plan to race FAST with. so now you can watch me make it happen

need some advice from fellow members preferrably someone who has replaced a fire wall. as you can see in some of the pictures i posted my cowl and the firewall are fairly rotted so i plan on replacing the fire wall and upper cowl with the AMD parts but i want to do it with taking as little as possible off the car
my question for everyone is how should i go about bracing the car and if i should make a jig for the whole car to sit on before i start taking it apart and what i should do to make sure my car is straight when its all done, im not exactly sure where to start so any input would be greatly appreciated and i have time before i start the firewall, i have to finish the trunk area first because its already apart, so any thing you have that mite help me please give me your thoughts (its my first restoration trying to get as much help as i can) thanks Bryan

Hi Bryan, My Challenger looked a lot like yours in the firewall area. I changed mine out as you are thinking of doing.
I first studied lots of threads on here to figure out just what needed to be reinforced on the body of the car. I then went and bought steel to frame up the front of the car. I only have one picture of my car with the framing under the front of the car and hope this helps out. The rest of the car was all together. These cars are very rigid and lite, taking out one piece of the car and having it supported will keep every thing in place.
There is a thread here on moparts.com, in the member projects & survivor pictures called, "Project Rust Bucket: 1971 Challenger R/T". This thread has lots of pictures and you can see many ways to rig up the body of your car to hold it in place to change out your firewall.
These cars are not perfect from the factory. Yes they had tooling to hold the pieces together as it was welded together, but as you can read from anyone that has restored any of the old chrysler cars, no, one car is just like the other.
Just one more thing that I found to be just a little hard to work with was that I bought the cowl and firewall as one unit. I don't know how perfectly square these two items are from the vendor, but it was difficult. With the two pieces welded together it is a very rigid structure and I had to work hard to get the unit installed.
To all that read this, I am in no way a pro at this restoration stuff. This is just the way I did it and in no way implying that this is the only way or may not even be the way to do it at all. I don't want to come off like I know anything, I'm self tought.
Good luck, I will attach a pic. Steve

and theres a change in plans with the finished project, ive been looking at different cars on the internet and toying around with different combos in my head, so my plan for the car is
B7 blue black vynal top black interior black R/T stripe power windows rallye guages 15x7 black steel wheels with dog dish caps 440 sixpack 4 speed w/ console shaker hood
its pictured in my head and the only thing i would want different is a Hemi in place of the 440+6 but lets face it im 18 i cant afford no Hemi

thanks! i can tell im ahead for my age just by seeing that my dad and most people to begin with wouldnt take on this kinda of project. people tell me to just buy a done car but signing a check is easier then picking up some wrenchs, a welder and spending countless hours on restoring a peice of history. building the car is also a learning expereince for me and it allows me to build what i want and when the car is done i can point to it saying "I built that" which is something not many people can say. chances are this is not going to be my last restoration, theres alot of cars i want but project cars are getting more and more rare everyday and yes im focusing on my car over the girls, after all my car and dirtbike cant wake up and tell me they dont love me anymore

Thanks! being around muscle cars that family and friends have made me want an E body in the worst way and now i have one , not to mention being at tech school listening to kids talk about how fast their lowered imports are made me laugh knowing what a real 11 second car feels like, im a muscle car car but dont get me wrong i wouldnt mind having a subaru STI 300hp,AWD and a sixpack scoop plus they sound a bit like V8s but id WAY rather have my challenger

Great Work!. The Ebody rust is nearly gone. I wish I had started the restoration activity at your age. That will be a sweet ride when its completed. Keep posting progress pictures.

hemichallenger, yea it was good meeting you as well, and a mopar BBQ sound like an awesome time, let me know when and where I would come to that RoadRunnerLuva, thanks a lot the positive feedback is great motivation and you brothers car sounds like a pretty sweet car, I would like to see that ive always liked 71 challengers since I was a little kid and I also have a thing for orange T/A challengers or T/As in general, I blame ScatPackTom he is a good friend of the family and I was around watching him build his orange T/A that is in FAST when I was in 3rd-4th grade, I actually helped put the 340 sixpak sticker on the driver side fender, I mean what 10 yearold doesn't love a bright orange car

Hi Bryan, What a Great story. Love to see a young guy working on a Challenger project. Where did you learn to do the nice work? Helps to have a Garage to work on it. Love it. When I was 17 I purchased a New 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T 440-6 super trac pack. Wish I had it now. Thank you for bringing me back to the 70's I still remember going to the dealer with my Mom & Dad to put $900.00 down on a special order car.I saved up for years to do it. My Mom would always ask me what is a 440-Six-pack More Pictures Please Bob
Mom & Dad let me buy a brand new 70 Challenger R/T 440 Six-Pack Super Trac Pack when I was 17
(Robert what is a 440 Six-Pack)

I agree, this is one of the posts that I would like to see beginning to end. I am getting ready to remove the firewall on my Barracuda and have been referring to your pics for reference.
Thanks and keep posting!!

the tail light panel black out may not be 100% right but since its not a true R/T I didn't know what it should look like so that's how I did it

since the car is going to see the track quite often I hid the line lock and added a prop. valve for the 4 wheel disc brakes from wildwood, also made an in tank electric fuel pump set up that's why the fuel line looks funny on the rear shock cross member

Looks awesome!! What was done to the motor if you dont mind me asking? its 493 cubes 10.6 to 1 CR, a solid roller, bushed chromoly roller tip rockers, heads and cam done by Dwayne Porter but other than that basically stock parts, just wanted a reliable pump gas friendly engine to get me into the high 11s on a good day

Very nice! I still remember that feeling, but it was a long time ago for me now, lol. About 20 years actually...I'll be 36 this year. Car looks and sounds real good! Now get some more video w/ tire smoke, lol. You've done one helluva job w/ that car! Just curious...why didn't you go w/ a Dana?

Start w/ a junkyard/craigslist truck Dana and you can have one ready to bolt in for less than $1700. I've done it twice...danas under mine and my dad's road runners.

put about 50 miles on it this week and past weekend. straightened some things out with the suspension. then yesterday i took it to a friend of mine who helped me paint the car and had the edges of the fenders touched up so i can put the hood on.

got the hood on the car on Saturday, it still doesnt seem real but the car runs and drives awsome and the faceplated hemi box from Passon performance makes pulling gears more fun. the first passes will be this weekend!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kzc5Cf1lTKkheres one of the passes from inside the car,track wasn't that great and it was 85 degrees but the best pass of the weekend was an 11.91 at 118, which was faster than I was expecting, couldn't be happier about how the car turned out. it looks better and is faster than I anticipated!!

for everyone wondering I am still out using the car, I got a set of 15x4 and 15x8 cragars to give it the day two look for the regular weekend bracket races. but a few weekends ago I set my new best on the F60s on a ok track with good air 11.54 at 120.2 with a 1.81 60ft
best it has gone with the cragars and L60s is 11.53 at 120.06 with an easy launch
the picture of the car leaving is at the fall FAST race in october at MIR I was told the left front wheel had lift off
