Jake - Still looking GREAT!!! I just remembered there is a Challenger shell over in a yard just north of Brighton. I believe the Name is Seven Sons or something like that. I know it starts with the word Seven. The car was cut up but there may be some good cowl pieces you could cut off of it.
I think I know the one you're talking about. West side of 85? I'll have to go back and take a look as I only remember it as being pretty well scrap. Thanks for the reminder and as always the kind words!
Jake

Jake where did you get this car from ?what did it cost?
I got it from guy named Bob Romig in Bells, Texas. I paid a bit much @ $4500.00 but that was my fault. I'm still glad to have it and I'm learning more than I thought I'd ever need to know.

May I make one suggestion? When you copy/paste, put one line in between each link. That way your pics don't run together and they are easier to see.
Those gaps are looking really good.
Thank you.
And I was trying to figure out to do that. I'll try that in a little bit-Thanks

I bought the connectors from John at US Cartool. He is a vendor and MOPARTS member. They were great and needed minimal grinding to fit. 
Good to know for next time. My pans aren't factory so I can't say the connectors are necessarily the problem but it doesn't seem as though the connectors were made at the correct height. The shape seems to be pretty good though.

way there, I could make templates and cut them into 11" pieces and fax them to maybe save someone all the trouble. Especially if a guy is trying to do this on the floor! You could tape the pieces together and check fit on your car? Just a thought. Let me know if anyone's interested. Back to grinding!
