70 challenger 440 mag with 727 trans. When problem 1st started i would put car in reverse getting it out of garage and tires would chip and engine would die this would happen a couple of times till car would stay running when in gear. Now something is making a awful noise like something hitting sheet metal, I thought starter was not disengageing completey but that was fine. Would a bad torque converter make that sound ? If so how would I check it ?

thanks
Rod

Check the bolts on the flexplate to make sure one or some haven't backed out.

Agree ,

Take off the sheetmetal cover , if something is hitting it like that then you will see a circular scrape

Try moeving the convertor clockwise and counter clockwise by hand to see if the flex plate to crank bolts are tight.
