1970-1971 Challenger convertible FULL rear quarter belt molding for top of quarter.
Not the 3/4 long chrome piece that only covers part of the top of the quarter panel but the piece that covers to the edge of the quarter to top of the door.
This piece is reproduced for Cuda convertibles, but not the Challenger
It was the same trim used if the trim package was ordered for Challengers (top of doors, back of fenders and hood chrome-SE type), but need the full rear quarter convertible piece.
Note top rear quarter molding on convertible pic

Thought this was worked out already.  This was the best picture of the long Challenger convertible quarter moldings I could find.

HAHAHA ... now you are dreamin! the biggest holdback of the /6 is the lame head and no aftermarket options. there are a couple threads over at slantsix.org where a couple folks are 'working' on a new head, but most of it seems like pipe dreams. too much $$ into engineering and production costs versus want/need in the /6 community to justify it

That's exactly why we need an aluminum head.  I have a nice 70 challenger with a numbers matching slant 6 that I'm considering swapping out for something bigger.

I've read about aftermarket heads made in Argentina but there not available here in the U.S.A.   :violin:
