1970 Challenger Concours resto - 03/27/15 02:21 PM

I am trying to restore my 70 challenger to as close to concours as possible. In an article in Mopar Action magazine " Pursuit of Perfection " it shows a YELLOW painted transmission support bracket. Can any one tell me the correct color/shade yellow paint ?

Others will chime in, but pretty sure that was for hemi and 6-pack cars only...

The article reads Dave Waldens 1970 Challenger has set a new standard in correctness.
The highest scoring Mopar in the Mopar Nats OE Certification history 99.22 %
With a score that high, most likely the glaring yellow painted part would be correct . Less than .88 of 1% not scoring as correct.

That is indeed the 70 Challenger of D Walden, the OP should access the thread "Taking it to the next level, Wow!" on Moparts if he's never viewed it?, just use the google search box at the top of Moparts page and type in "Taking it to the next level wow!" that will bring up the search/thread (be ready for hours of reading though as the thread is quite long/informative

My car is an R/T 383 magnum. Did ONLY the 440 and hemi cars have the yellow paint ?

Do you have the ORIGINAL rubber transmission mount from your car?

thanks.
He works diligently, but that's gotta be a major amount of hours to do to any level, let alone the level he's known for...
Shame he gets so argumentative and attracts others to bicker...
