I'm going full 70! Help needed
« on: June 11, 2013 - 12:02:05 PM »
Ok guys, as some of you know, when I bought my 73 chally it already had a 70 front end, an I have since squired a T/A hood and decklid, so I've decided to go full T/A clone, I already hve the panels to weld in my fenders to change over to 70 corner lights, and a guy here in town is setting me up with the full light assemblies with lenses.  So my big question is, the same guy has all the lenses and chrome for a 70 tail end, so what else do I need to change my rear to a 70 from a 73?  Thanks a lot guys.   Oh, and yes I know T/As have the radio antenna in the rear, my car will be completely antenna-less

You will probably need to change the exhaust to go with those new exhaust tips. If you are going TA, they come out in front of the rear wheels.

yeah I already have the valence and bumper, what I need to know is, what does it take to put those 1970 lights in the rear, i'm assuming they don't just snap in on top of my 73 lights lol

Did a -70 RT clone out of a -72. Dont know how far you want to take it but the front bucket seats and the dash pad is not the same.

Door mirrors are different on a 70.
Burnouts are cool but Traction is the Action

It is amazing how many things are different on the '70. You don't really notice it until you look closely. :2cents:
