    OMG Clown,

    You are the man. Most people would have turned and ran it faced with that project (myself included).  I am glad you decided to save it and it looks like you are going gangbusters.  Godspeed!

    Wow, that's crazy!!!!  I was kind of bummed I had to replace the rear quarters and had a small patch in my driver's side floor.  There's no way I would have been able to do all that you have been!!!  Keep at it as the end result will really be something to brag about! :cheers: :2thumbs:

    Wow.  My project isn't as far off as yours.  I too have a donor car and will be doing what you are doing.  I have a couple of questions though, how are you planning on attaching the roof at the C-pillars.  It looks like you grabbed the roof skin, and just replaced the A-pillars.  Doesn't this add more work than grabbing the whol structure?  I have looked at mine in enough detail to get a good game plane yet.  This winter I will.

    So what are the specs on the car?  Is it an R/T?  Mine is a 70 R/T SE 440 with dark green paint and lime green bumble bee stripe.  Oh, and A32 package.

    Hello all...to answer your questions I'll start by letting you know about the roof.I bought a roof for the car awhile ago,and then bought the parts car after that.The roof was cut off by someone right at the top of the cowl which is ok but I want to attach mine at the spot weld areas.And the roof that was on the parts car was nice but not as nice as the roof I had already bought.And the part that kills everyone this is a 1970 challenger 340 h-code,but its my car and its not about making money off of it when its done.Plus some call this work and thats ok ---I call it a great time,when I welded that first patch in the rocker the other day I was grinning from ear to ear.--------the Clown

    Amazing that you can do all that work AND keep this post updated!

    Nice shots if the cowl.  I think I know where mine is leaking now from the mouse house!  :stomp:
