Looking awesome, love the black. Did you weld in your rear sway bar brackets?

Thanks Dave.  The rear had holes for the sway bar bracket so I didn't weld them in.  I am not sure if the holes are factory, but they worked great.

Pulled the front spoiler off my 69 Camaro to see how it would look on the Challenger.  I am sure a bunch of Mopar guys will cringe knowing a Chevy part is on a Challenger, but I really like the look :)

Thanks Mark!  I was just never a big fan of the little splitters.  Are you headed to Mecum this weekend?

I will miss it this weekend unfortunately!  I'm going to Boston braving the snow storm to look at a 71 Cuda :)  I'll keep you posted.

I still need to make it to your shop!

I did the same thing but with a 68 camaro spoiler, just slightly different.  :thumbsup:

This is probably one of my favorite threads to check on here. I am planning on really hitting my '73 challenger hard this fall (all original driver now) and this thread with the pictures and descriptions are really making things seem a little less daunting. For that I thank you!!!!

I got a couple of messages regarding the fit of the spoiler.  The only thing I had to do was use my heat gun to slightly form the spoiler to the lower valance of the Challenger.  It was easy to form under a little heat.  The tabs on the spoiler were in good spots to mount.  I found absolute center on the spoiler and then on the valance and started from the center and worked my way out with a few mounting bolts.  When I was done, there were no gaps and it looks pretty much factory.

The Camaro spoiler actually looks pretty good!
