Looks like a nice find on the WSS Chally.  Don't see many of those around.

Nice ride!  :2thumbs:  Is that a 71-74 gauge cluster though? Maybe a late build?  :dunno:

Not too much left to finish on the exterior, but I'm at a standstill till the valence and my WSS decals come in. In the meantime I'm going to start working on the interior. Starting with POR-15 on the floorboards to protect the new floor pans (just surface rust in the picture)

Ordered new seat covers and foam from legendary interiors. Also ordered new carpet from stock interiors. Got the floor pans cleaned up and painted with POR-15. Trying to decide if I want to try and clean up and re-dye the original door panels and seat backs. They are really chalky.

From what i can decipher, i think the WSS Challengers came with a Barracuda Gran Coupe instrument cluster as standard for a WSS.

Great looking car, will be awesome to get that Green interior all back and looking good again. :2thumbs:
