Nice car!  Just finishing up a rotisserie resto on my '74 'Cuda as well.  I only needed a few pieces of sheet metal, got it through Year One, it was good quality, can't remember the brand.  One thing that I can't recommend enough are the US Car Tool subframe connectors.  They are cut to match the contour of the floor pans, no cutting into the pans, and they make a huge difference, I like them a lot.

We have board sponsors here in which you can order sheet metal. Check out the vendors section.

isn't it ironic how the tides have turned. i can remember when i first got my '72 Challenger back
in 1990. absolutely no one back then would think of doing a rotisserie resto on anything newer
than '71. 72 and up was all junk,  :swear:


keep up the good work and keep alive the junk  :roflsmiley:
