Newbie with a 1971 Challenger restoration project

[Roxy_Roller]

Hi everyone!

Newbie from Alberta, Canada, here and I just wanted to take the time to introduce myself as I am sure I will have many many questions during this project I want to undertake.

Long story short...It has always been my dads dream to restore a Mopar muscle car, so two years ago he bought a 1971 Challenger as his first project. He did a great job of passing on his love of Mopar to me so it has always been my dream to help him with this great project. Unfortunately, he recently died of cancer before we were really able to get this project underway. So, I am determined to carry on in his memory and see this restoration through to the finish!

I may be biting off more than I can chew but I am eager to learn and welcome any advice you guys have!!
