Hmmm...I spy with my little eye...
Kori's playpen!

Hi Dale, the R/T is looking good! I'll have to direct Collin S. to this thread so he can drool over the progress. He spotted the car where it sat in the first picture several years ago and bugged the guy to sell it to him. He was pretty shocked when he drove by one day and it was gone

I let him know where it went and that it would be done right so that calmed him down a bit. He was pretty bummed.

Hi Doug, I was really fortunate to get it back. The guy I gave it to 26 years ago really did not want to part with it, but he realized he was not going to get the time to restore it and he knew the sentimental value it meant to me, plus I had to show him pictures of the cuda’s restoration. When it’s finished I’ll let him take it for a ride.

Front suspension coming together.

Fitting rear bumper and trunk lid



Door panels back from been refurbished, would not know there was speaker holes before.



Headlight bezels finished, they were a new NOS set I bought, had the RT blackout done.


Tail light housing refinished

Very nice. I do love 71 340 Challengers! Do you have the jack bracket that is spot welded on the top of the D/S wheel house? If not, I just got a nice repro from Wilson Productions.

What's your build date?

Keep those pics coming!

body getting ready for final prep.

Incredible progress. Looks fantastic. Just a few weeks ago, I was out looking for some parts. Saw a car in a garage that could have been your cars twin. IIRC, it was a 340 car too with rear wing from factory.

Keep the pics coming. Great motivation for those of us who are not as far along as you are.

Prepping doors for new AMD door skins. After all issues were addressed we POR-15 everything

Found a new NOS decklid. It did not have the rear wing cutouts. We added all the correct holes as what the old lid had.



Test fitting Gullwing afterwards.

Great looking car, I cannot wait to see it done.

Looks fantastic!!!

Installed new rear spring front hanger brackets


Trunk almost finished



Under carriage almost finished



Interior prepped

Great job!! I had a original 71 RT 340 4 speed the same color back in 1977 until I wrapped it around a telephone pole. I kinda like the color.
Still have one that color today.

Looks AWESOME! NICE JOB!! Car really looks clean and is going to be really nice when you're done!

Joe

Looking good, keep up the great work
Dave

Looks awesome.

How well did the door skins look and fit?

Do you have the correct "DODGE" trunk emblem?
I'm trying to locate a vendor selling them.

Thanks, The skins fit nicely, I'm glad they finally came out, well worth the price.
