Hi Dale, the R/T is looking good! I'll have to direct Collin S. to this thread so he can drool over the progress. He spotted the car where it sat in the first picture several years ago and bugged the guy to sell it to him. He was pretty shocked when he drove by one day and it was gone I let him know where it went and that it would be done right so that calmed him down a bit. He was pretty bummed.

Hi Doug, I was really fortunate to get it back. The guy I gave it to 26 years ago really did not want to part with it, but he realized he was not going to get the time to restore it and he knew the sentimental value it meant to me, plus I had to show him pictures of the cuda’s restoration. When it’s finished I’ll let him take it for a ride.

Very nice. I do love 71 340 Challengers! Do you have the jack bracket that is spot welded on the top of the D/S wheel house? If not, I just got a nice repro from Wilson Productions.
What's your build date?
Keep those pics coming!
Thanks for the info, I have the original jack brackets which I'll use. The build date was March 71. Hopefully by fall it will be painted and I can assemble over the winter.

Incredible progress. Looks fantastic. Just a few weeks ago, I was out looking for some parts. Saw a car in a garage that could have been your cars twin. IIRC, it was a 340 car too with rear wing from factory. Keep the pics coming. Great motivation for those of us who are not as far along as you are. Joe

Looks awesome. How well did the door skins look and fit? Do you have the correct "DODGE" trunk emblem? I'm trying to locate a vendor selling them.
