    Looks like you're really getting your teeth into it now.  Nice looking project.  Keep that momentum going.  :cooldancing:

    Check that new gravel pan for fit first. The one we got from YO fit like crap! we ended up stripping the OEM one from the Challenger and reusing it.

    Thats a big 10-4 on that advice. If my old one was in the shape yours is I would have reused it. Mine came off a Lemon Twist R/T that had been hit in the back I guess because that thing is all full of bondo and even rivets  :puke:
    Your old one looks to be in pretty good shape unless it is really rusty. The YearOne pan I bought fit good on one side but like crap on the other side like it was not crimped right. Also if you compare the tabs where it bolts up you will find they dont line up right with the quarter. Its nice that we have new tin to fix our cars, I just wish it all fit better.

    I'm working on restoring my Challenger Heater Box Also. Jim's Gasket Kits are THE BEST!! I got mine a week ago and there was stuff in there that I figured would not be included. Really nice kit.

    Looks like your Challenger is pretty solid. You've got a great project!! Keep the progress pics coming.

    Hezzel - what is the duct/hose in many of your photos?  Do you have an active dust collection system?
