Hello to all I just joined the site and I am glad I found this place.
My name is Ben, I have a wonderful patient wife, and a 10 yr old daughter (my real boss)
I have 2 - 70 Challengers
One is in my garage and I am working on it now. I have a 68 440 at the machine shop now getting ready for the build.
The other one is in the driveway waiting for its turn.
I have attached a couple of shots of the one I am working on now. The carport photos are where I bought the car the day I picked it up. There are a couple of shots of it in my (single car garage , read cramped) with some progress.
I have not taken pics in a while, I have done a lot more since these photos.
Trunk is almost done, Dutchman panel is in, lower qrtrs done etc.
I bought a wrecked 73 R/T that I got a lot of parts off of for this car. (Disc brakes, spindles etc, Sway bars and gear etc.)
I have been a Mopar fan for a long time and lucky enough over the years to own: (in this order)
73 Charger
68 Dart
70 Duster
70 R/T Challenger 340
70 R/T SE Challenger
I sold the R/T SE in 97 and have not had a "fun" car since then.
I scored these 2 Challengers last year when I moved here to Richmond VA
anyway I am looking forward to getting to know everyone here and I will get more photos posted of my progress as I go.
I want this car on the road by April at the latest.
I am in the music retail business and on the road a lot so between the family and work it is tough spending as much time onthe cars as I would like but it is getting there.
all for now more pics this weekend
Regards
Ben
