Currently building a 1971 Challenger custom in the shop now. Have been working on it for a couple years on and off. It is going to have a 440 6 pack in it and built for power tours and driving. Thought the car was in good shape when we bought it. Had it blasted and the guy warped almost every panel. Put AMD roof, fenders,inner fender,full quarters on to take care of the warp issues. Smoothed out the engine firewall and deleted most holes on the passenger side. Used a B body rear end that was powder coated along with front suspension and some smaller parts. Doctor diff 1 inch relocating kit worked great. Just got the rear wilwood brakes on and starting to run lines. I will try to keep this post up to date as the build continues..

Sounds like fun.

Cool....I just finished one last Fall for a customer.
His started life as a 383 4spd Shaker car in Plum Crazy with white interior. At first I didn't want to cut it up, I'm more of a "stock original" guy, but the customer is always right.

I added WilWood 4 wheel disc brakes, Hotchkis sway bars springs, 500 cu in stroker kit, Tremec TKO600 5spd, etc...etc...
Turn out great... http://www.alangallantautomotiverestoration.com/1971FC7383.html

It's called Upol gravitex. Its a type of undercoating but still shows all the details. I wanted it protected but didnt want to look like I was hiding anything. Im real happy with it.

Morris'_Mopars · « **Reply #10 on:** February 07, 2015 - 12:13:18 PM »

No they are factory width.
