Thanks everyone!!

I'm from Sydney, Priesty

Looks like you have a great basis to build from, this board has a tone of info and a mountain of great guys to share experiance and knowedge with , we dont mind poking people from time to time as well, now we have camera's on our phones, I strongly suggest you take photos of everything you touch, before and after as reference, any numbers etc, take a pic and save it, it becomes very handy at times.

Steve, how are you going with your Cuda? been doing any more work or driving the wheels off it??
Hi Greg, Mostly done for now, just odds & ends to tidy up so I've been getting it out & cruising while the weather holds up. I see you've been busy on yours too.

I agree crash340 you can never have too many pictures.
Some times I look back in my photo library and realize I didn't take a certain pic I needed to take but thought I did  :(
Anyway I will be posting some pics and questions for sure  :thumbsup:

Completely agree! You always seem to not take that one picture you really need... must be karma or something.

Hi Chris,

A big welcome from Queensland my Brutha.
We have a Mopar show this weekend coming at Warwick, it will be great to catch up with you when ever we can at a Mopar event my friend.
You have a really cool Challenger.

Take it easy and great to see you as part of the C-C.com family.

Thanks Kenny, but Warwick is a bit too far north for me.
Maybe one day at Mopar Sunday.

Cheers

Hi Chris,

Warwick is South West 1 hour drive from Willowbank, but it is a really small event as it is only rather new of an event. But i will definitely catch up with you at Willowbank next time Mopar Sunday is on for sure old mate.

Have a good one bloke,
Kenny.

Hi Chris, Im Craig from Melbourne. I'm in the same boat as you mate. I've gone back to bare metal resto and its turned into a project bigger than Ben Hur! I've been meaning to get my project on CC which I'll do when I get some time. Your Challenger looks great and best choice as a "keeper".

This site and members are an unbelievable resource for info and encouragment. Without it I'd be a bit lost by now.

Mine is a 70 and was a red T/A clone. Nothing special originally but I hope it is when finished. It's now sublime and I will keep the T/A theme. Good luck with your project mate
