Welcome to the forum SilverChally!  Looks like an excellent project and with it being engine-less, you can pretty much do whatever you want.  So....whatcha gonna do with it? 

Glad to have you on board!

Welcome Silver,

It looks like a nice project at a good price.  Keep us updated as you go along with the resto.

My favorite posts have always been seeing cars in the process from start to finish.  I started a post in the project sction and will be sure to keep it updated!  Id like to do a 360 mag with an od trans, body wise leaning towards a black ta look.  Its a factory ac car also.  Only bad is, I have another project too and I'll have to keep both going, maybe a 3rd to show soon too ;D  I'm hoping to start a small resto business and want to use this one to get business!  My uncle also has two challenger convertible, so they are in the family years back.

Would love to be able to start at that point - Always wondered how a Challenger would look in the classic gray/silver and black - Have never seen one. Good Luck and Welcome aboard. If you run into any snags you have come to the right place - These people know everything - Hell I threw my Chiltons away when I joined this site.

Welcome to the site. Looks like a great project. Keep us posted with pictures of your progress. I can remember when I started on my Cuda and my wife thought it would never run again as it was all tore apart.

Thanks :thumbsup:  This way with problems around the front window/cowl offers a new challenge.  Its much easier than one I did.  I won't be messing around, want it ready for Carlisle next year at the latest.
