No, that early did not have the woodgrain in the recess. Are there any holes for the insert?

Thats a big part of the car show scene. A whole bunch of experts out there that know a whole lot about nothing. Dont let it bug u. Better yet I love how everyone used to have a Hemi in their mopar at one point just like the one thats in mine. Sure buddy!! Wink Wink.
A few weeks ago, a guy and his wife came up to me at a campground and was looking at my 74 challenger that I had with us. He tells me he used to have some mopar with a 454 hemi in it. I just smiled and said that's cool. It's easier nowadays to just listen and am glad people take a interest in my old car.

Mine has the cowl "black-out" also. I wasn't sure about when this was done also.

Hello everyone! First car show out with the car and I hear this! My question to you...My car, a 1970 Challenger RT, fairly early build. October, 1969. I do not have the wood grain panel on the doors, they are just all black. Should there be? I've seen cars both ways. Mine does have the ralley dash. Thanks! Jeff
Well, if there is one thing I have learned while building my car is YOU have to be satisfied with what you have and no one else. My car is nothing special but I constantly hear what I should have done, or what they would do or that won't work and the funny thing is that some of these so called experts don't even own an older Mopar or have never had one that guy you were talking to probably came to the show in a K car.

I am in thhe hobby for fun.I like thing to look nice and not after a 100 point show car. I am doing a C body so nobody really knows much about them or seem to care.. People like it for what it is--not it should be or could be.That is gratification in itself.
I had a super low miles 71 Duster.I got scrutinized everytime I showed it."When you pulling out the slant six and put in a 340??" It had 28,900 miles on it and I had to change the tires,plug wires,heater core,radiator and muffler. I got crap for getting rid of the original parts that were NFG. I needed a reliable car,not a "survivor" After three years of persistent offers,I sold the car to a guy who did a V8 4 speed swap. I had a 70 Challenger R/T 383/727. I was changing the thermostat in the driveway when a guy pulled up with his 16 year old son and whipped out his cheque book.He was arrogant and thought he knew everything about my car.To scare him off,I fibbed that that the 383 kept overheating and may need headgaskets. Much happier with a C body.Instead of a know-it-all tell me about my car,I am educating others who are intrigued by my car.

Once I had a Challenger that I had at a show. I went to get something to eat, came back and there is a guy standing over my engine bay. In his hand he has the caps from my Mopar reproduction battery. He says "you know, the vent holes in these caps are wrong, you should drill four concentric holes around the center hole to have these be more accurate." My only comment that I could come up with as my mouth hung wide open..."who are you and why are you taking my car apart?"

I'm curious to see what these non-woodgrain doors look like. I can't recall ever seeing any! Does it have a standard or rallye dash?
