Hello Everyone
« on: December 02, 2016 - 09:58:04 AM »
Well I have been lurking around for a while but have never posted so I don't know if I qualify as a newbie or not. I figured 'd stop by and say hi. I finally bought a 71 Challenger project car and have started the process.  I'm sure that I will need some help and parts along the way so I appreciate all of the info that you guys shared on the site. Here are a couple of pictures of the car so I don't get the standard this thread is useless without pictures reply.

The hood was removed soon as I got it in the garage.

Welcome from NY!  Given the amount of rubber under that back end, it doesn't look like you're going to be interested in tips for maximizing gas mileage.

I had to eat a Lil crow because of that damn hood because I have a friend with this hood on his duster and I always mess with him asking about his Nova so when I pulled up with this car before I could unbolt the hood he started texting me saying I see you bought a Chevy.
