Wow!  That Plum Crazy pic is the car BEFORE you started the work?  Looks really good already.  I've got to raise my standards on my cars....
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

Hello again,
 I figured i would send some more pictures and get back to you about some questions. Im restoring this for a friend it isnt mine, i wish! The car was bought back in 1970 being 6 months old. My buddy had put the car in the ditch so he painted it pumb crazy and loves the color thats why its going back to that color and never plans on selling. I agree that it would make it so much more!

 The challenger convertible is mine the gt-350 is a friends. Lots of projects going on as of right now. I had to sell my 71 chevelle to make room. Ok well here is some pictures of the 440-6 pack now. It has been blasted and primed on the under side. just working on the body doing the rust repair, yes the picture of it in plumb crazy is before i started. Not bad but not good under all that paint. Come to find out the car was wrecked pretty bad before he bought it in the 6 months. He was very upset when i told him. the dealer he got it from never said a word. Come to find out the whole front end was over about 2 inches, the 6 pack k member was shot! To bad! We changed it out and straitend the front rails, they should have been replaced but my buddy is only going for the 8,000.00 resto.

Nice work you got going their. You must be hitting it pretty hard to get the work done this quickly. My first Challenger RT was restored in a 2 car garage took me 1 1/2 years. My current Cuda project has been going on in my 2 car garage since April of 2000. I sometimes would not work on the Cuda for weeks so things slow down real fast. Anyway nice to see somone is saving these Mopar's and good luck with the project. Please keep us up to date on the progress.
