Have you still got the fat rear rims you took off? I wouldn't mind having them, if the bolt pattern will work on a 72 Charger. I've got the front ones.

No, I sold them to help fund the project.

Love it or hate it? Nah, that's an awesomely COOL combination! Beautiful car!

That just got way cooler in my book with that interior combo

It has been three years on this one. I would love to see a progress report

Hello, it has been awhile! Since my last post I have became a Grandpa. My first Grandson arrived 1 month ago. My first Granddaughter is due to arrive on Monday! I have made some progress on the Challenger. Thanks to Scott Harms my carb is done. I just hauled the Challenger to the local upholstery shop and got the headliner installed. I am blasting and powdercoating the seat springs and then will get the new Legendary seat covers installed. I took a couple of pictures after I got it on the trailer. I hope my pics are attached.

Looks great!

Stunning! Keep up the progress and congrats on the grandkids!

cant wait to hear how she runs.

Beautiful car! I love the colors. I haven't seen many black with orange stripes.

I am in love with your car.

You should be very proud, you have a very sweet challenger!

Hello again. I am trying to get this thing finished and getting online seems to motivate me. I did get the headliner installed and the seats recovered. Pictures of the seats are now attached. My engine is machined and ready for assembly. I need to install fuel and brake lines as well as wire harnesses. I'll need to ask for help on who offers the best fuel/brake lines and wire harnesses?

Hello great looking car
I'm currently working on a 71 could you tell me the difference in emblems between a RT a non Rt I know the stripe but what emblems do the rts have that the non rts do not any help would be great
Thanks

Thank you! I'm not sure either. Some people tell me the 71 had the R/T emblems on the front fenders if the car did not have the stripes. Others say they had both stripes and the R/T badges. I don't know for sure.

It should have R/T emblems on the fenders and trunk lid. There are plenty of pictures in the members section here http://www.71chargerrtregistry.com/ including a lot of original cars owned by Tim Wellborn.

Here's a picture of my Mr. Norms's 440 4 speed R/T

Very nice! That's a car you don't see very often!

Very cool '71! I love the seats. My '71 has leather seats but I'd take the cloth insert seats over leather any time!
For wiring harnesses, go with M&H. They are sold by Year One and by Megaparts. You can get up to 30% off with discount codes from YO, but I'd still opt for Megaparts over YO because of their great customer service if I had it to do over again. Sometimes these wiring harnesses are on back order, and YO will just leave you hanging for months until they finally get them and ship. Megaparts I'm sure would keep you up to speed what's going on.
I used M&H on my T/A project, and the trunk harness took 3 months before I received, the headlight harness came right away, purchased from YO.
Worth the wait as these harnesses are great.
I used Fine Lines fuel and brake lines and no complaints.

Great! Thank you for your help.

No it shouldn't!

Since it is a stripe car it already says R/T. Only a stripe delete 71 Challenger R/T would have R/T badges. Also there was never an R/T badge on the rear of a 71.

The fenders should have glue on Challenger badges and the decklid should have a glue on Dodge emblem.
