Another Project... 70 challenger RT factory 440, sublime, AC, and more

[ksierens]

Very nice, reminds me of the work I just finished on mine also.

Luckily, I had a NOS passenger quarter, and was able to just patch the drivers side.  I also have a vinyl top, so yeah, had to replace the A-pillars also.

Fun, fun.

Much better than blasting all rust!  The ds a-pillar is good, ps should be repairable.  I do need to replaced the front window opening.  My own 70 challenger, needed it all, so this is an easy one!

Yup same on mine, I was able to get two good ones from Desert Valley Auto parts, for $350.

I lucked out there, had a parts car cuda with the a-pillars and opening

In etch primer... just gotta fix the front roof opening and on to the mud work, good times

Good work

I am getting ready to put mine on a rotisserie to finish the bottom.  Can you tell me the distance from the rotation point to the front or rear attachment points?

[SilverChally]

Gotta do some straightening work, floors arent bad, but rails got a few kinks/dents.  My studs weren't strong enough, so gotta figure something out.  Now really need a front roof opening so I can get the shell done. 

ksierens, what exactly do you need? 

[ksierens]

I am looking for for a good "center of gravity" on my rotisserie.  I am not planning on making it adjustable, so I am just trying to find out what others are using.

Thanks!

[SilverChally]

Mines adjustable at that point and I would want something that could be adjusted because you need to balanced the front and rear to make them easy to turn.  Theres too many variables I would think to make it non-adjustable and get it right. 

As you can see in one of the pics, I basically have it all the way down.  So I would guess its about 3" on the rear, Im pretty sure the fronts the same.

Ive been to busy to take pics   I'll add some of the xv subframe connectors later... fixed the winshield area today, so about done welding finally!

[SilverChally]

Snapped a couple pics, not quite ready to prime, but connectors are on and the worst of the body work is done. 



Also got the roof opening fixed, I slid the new piece under the skin and fit it flush, turned out great!  Was little bent front nothing to hold the roof up as the lip was gone.
