    71 Convertible Transformation (updated)
    « on: December 17, 2006 - 05:51:00 PM »
    I hope I don't offend any of the truly talented MOPAR fanatics out there who are working diligently on thier projects.  I am posting pictures of my 71 convertible challenger; a 318 car that will undergo a complete transformation.  I wish I could say that I was a skilled enough to do all the hard work myself, but I just don't have the talent or the tools to make it so.  I will contract most of the work.  I hope to have it ready for a cruise some time next summer.   That is, if the wife and budget cooperate. :)

    I used to put the top down on mine and carry a surfboard like that ; but never a fender. LOL.  Looks like a real worthy project.  Keep us posted on your progress.
