Finally! Challenger in garage.
« on: October 30, 2014 - 04:44:25 PM »
I don't own a garage. From when I bought my Challenger I had to find temporay places to do any work on it or store it over the winter, worked on my lawn when the weather allowed, PITA to jack up a car on grass!  Now I got a spot in a friends garage over the winter, and next year we are gonna build a bigger garage on his property, for about 6-7 cars. Very excited, now I can finally take the car apart and get my new FF suspension and Wilwood brakes in. Starting with a removal of the engine, trans, K-frame and suspension.

I know, I'm already planing another project...finding my very first e-body, a 70 Cuda, buy it back, and restore it for my son. I sold it in 1980, I know who owns it, not been driven since -83.  The other car is my friends 1971 De Tomaso Pantera, with a Ford 351 in it. He also has 2 Shelby's, a -67 GT 500, and a -07 GT 500.
