Good heater is really needed here in Finland near Arctic Circle. Wash, polish and new foams & re-conditioned motor makes my life much more warmer.

Looks like you have plenty of sand to sand blast!  :roflsmiley:
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

Nice work Pepe :2thumbs:

It's always amazed me how popular U.S. cars are in Europe.

Then it dawned on me just how rare huge V8's are in their "own" cars.

Nothing else sounds like 'em  :2thumbs:  or   :burnout:
