1970 challenger

[mauls]

Hey guys, just picked up a 1970 challenger project, and this is going to be a big project.  I have about 95% of all parts necessary for the car, missing a driveshaft, front windshield and side markers that's it.

Car came with a 440, and 3 different rear-ends, the best one being a Dyna 60, but I have to get it cut as it's too wide.  I'm going to need some help as I've only built GM's in the past as it's all I could afford, these mopars are big money 









The car came with new rear quarter panels, new trunk, new trunk pan, new doors, and a new hood.  I've recently ordered new fenders.

Anyways I appreciate all the help in advance and advice.

My other cars
2010 Challenger SRT8 6 speed,
2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee
1970 Buick Riviera

Welcome ... and you are right ... Mopars cost more to restore.  But e-bodies are the best.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!  I'm from Kansas City, MO

I've rebuilt several GM's through-out the years but deep down inside always wanted a classic mopar, just never could get my hands on one.

I've already began tearing down the engine and some things are a little unique compared to what i'm used to, so i'll start my research and will start a build thread as well.

Welcome from CO!  Thats a good looking project!  Take your time, ask any questions, and do it right the first time.  Most of us have been right where you are.

Thanks guys!  Plans for the car will be a TX9 paint code, rebuilt 440 with a tremec 5 speed manual transmission.  If you are aware of some great write up's for that conversion throw them my way!

Welcome from NY.  I have a 70 Challenger as well, but mine come with a mouse instead of an elephant under the hood.  You have absolutely come to right place for guidance, support and the occasional laugh.  I hope you're right about having 95% of the parts you need.  Every time I go to the Roseville moparts website I find something I didn't know I needed.
