1970 Challenger R/T S/E Home project

Thought I would see what is happening on this forum. Post a few pics and get a few comments. 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.

Looks good, nice work

Looks great. I hope to get started back on mine soon.

I like it .

Hi! I'm a little surprised that you didn't use the body color in the engine bay or the trunk.

Have you thought of running a 1970 Rallye center cap instead of the '72-'74 version you have?

Just a few thoughts....

Hey 824.......I did all the work in my garage and did not pull the engine. 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

Santa was good to me.........got the hood blackout......now just have to figure how to get it on correctly........

The butt stripe really makes that car look tough, nice car!

Great job!

That's a good looking car! Nice Job! Joe

Had to put on a new gas tank. Added the 70 wheel centers and new emblems for the trunk....

Tank

Centers...........

Took a chance and tried the hood blackout.....Worked out fine.......

Greetings from Wilkes county NC!

Nice Challenger!!!

Thanks Mike........love to see a pic of the Duster....

My boys gave me a good birthday present a little while back....Complete engine detail.........took the car to the shop yesterday... After pics to follow.....but for now.....

She is home now..........

Nice...... big difference.

No..........Huge difference! sharp looking car! Great job!

Very nice job. Patience paid off for sure!!!

Joe

That engine bay looks a 1000% better painted the correct body color. Let those two pics serve as an example of why people should not just go the "fog black" route when doing the engine bay. Nice job.

Wow, what a difference. I sure would like to have seen step-by-step series of pictures when they did that. Very cool, and great job on the hood blackout. Inspirational!!

Looks AMAZING! As mentioned, the detail of the engine bay in body color made a huge difference. Congrats! Sounds like some nice sons you have too.

Joe

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. There were 94 entries of all over the board cars and trucks.

Now that is more like it.
Just not a fan of the black (chevy) engine bays. Looks awesome now.
