After more than 10 years I have finally seen my challenger project finished up to final paint!!!!! My paint/body guy sent me a few pics from his cell phone and I am pumped big time!!!! Black is definately my color..... car ended up getting new rear quarters,firewall,inner fenders. AMD stuff is excellent!!! Shaker hood conversion as well!!! I have not been on the board much lately due to divorce last year and new girlfriend etc, but I am finally able to do what I want to do for once in my life and getting the chal done was on the top of the list!!! Now I need to figure out the best way to re-assemble everything so I will be asking lots of questions in the future....... I have bought new everything over the years dashpad,interior,carpet headliner etc, and I had to keep the car looking like a junker so the ex would not soak me for 1/2 the value..... Here is a few pics and the one with my restoration guy is actually his reflection in the door!!!! looks like a mirror to me!!!!! I was going to go hemi power but I just don't have the money now so I will install the 451 sixpack I built many years ago.... should be around 500HP with edelbrock heads so it should be a good cruiser..... I am pumped!!!!

Yes... my guy does mopar restoration as a side business and really knows mopars.... now i just need to figure out how to re-assemble everything and in what order???? Planning on dropping the car on the K-frame with engine and trans and headers together.... trying to keep things simple. I will need to get a new wiring harness and brake/fuel lines so I guess that is some of the first things to do??

Look on RestoRick's web site. He has a very useful order list on there.
In the meantime, it really looks good!
