Good luck with your new project ozrt,if you need any help with info or places to buy stuff blow us an email ( hollim@optusnet.com.au )as Im going through the same job up here in the better city of  Sydney,I looked at the car today at the shop and they are about to put all the swingers on and blast the final coat of lemon twist(if only I could figure out how to post photos),I suppose you wont have it ready for the MOPARs on the Murray in Albury March 14,15,16 in 08.

Hi ozrt,my Challenger is FY1,top banana yellow.Iv wanted a challenger since seeing vanishing point in the early 70s and due to buying and selling houses,moving from Syd to Brisbane and back and in and out of relationships I never got to get a Chal,but since I sacked my last money vacume I searched for a Chal R/T (only taken 30ys) and found one that needed a full resto that as usual got out of control,Im restoring it back to as original as I can get it,was originaly a 383 4 speed but now has a 440 and hope to have it ready for next years Chrysler on the Murray.
Looks like you have a fair bit of work ahead of you oz,some times you will get peed off doing your resto I some times do so all you have to is get on this site look at the finnished cars and what other resto guys have in front of them and it makes you feel better and dont forget to ask for help no matter how trivial it is,these guys are all to willing to help and then you will know that you have in front of you one of the rarest and most wanted cars in Aus this side of a GTHO.
I have four sets of subframe connectors so any time you want one just give us a burl.
