    70 Challenger RT restoration
    « on: April 14, 2016 - 11:27:56 PM »
    Hello everyone.

    Bought car from Washington and started restoration in March 2016

    383, auto, air, red with white top, white interior and white longitudinal stripe

    Am sure I will be looking for more parts..

    Very solid body.  Manufacturer in  L.A. plant..  Had some pin holes in floors so decided to replace complete front and back floor with one piece unit.  Rear quarters were modified to fit larger tires (lip removed) and about 4" of bottom of quarters were rusty but have fixed now.
