All the work on my car was done in my home garage except the paint. I just couldn't tackle that job. She is a driver..........and still a few things to do.. My web site showing most of the 4-5 years of work. http://www.papadaveonline.com/index.html 5666438-ChallengerResto1069.jpg (663 downloads)

Since the car was going to be yellow, I knew the bay would match all the other black trims......I know it is not correct but when you only have the tools to do some things.......this is what you end up with. As far as the 73 centers.....I am trying to get a set of 70 now. Thanks, David 5670598-CopyofIM000590.JPG (316 downloads) Last edited by DAYLEYCHALLENGER; 12/16/09 12:05 AM.

I failed to mention that all the engine work was done with the engine still in the bay........and I went to a car show near Asheboro , NC on Sat and took first place in the pre '80s class.

Our club got to ride the track a few laps before the race with some of the vintage race cars. The video is about 4 min long. The track is a mile and is high banked. At speed she seems to narrow up and looks a lot different that when looking from the stands............
