Does anybody have the dimensions for installing a gull wing on a 73 challenger?

Thanks

Why would you want to ruin a Chally by installing gullwing doors? Just my opinion, but if you want gullwings, go buy a Bricklin SV or Delorean DMC-12.

Good call, 360Cuda.  I didn't really look at this post before, but was rather curious as to why someone would be installing gull-winged doors. ::) ;D

Sorry let me clarify. :o I have a 73 challenger that I would like to install a gull wing onto the trunk lid. If anyone has the dimensions for the correct placement of the holes in the trunk lid that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

you should use the re-inforcement plates under the lid , these will locate the holes for the wing , there are two wings , the Go wing with notched tips & the Gull wing with curved tips , used in 71 only
