1970 challenger r/t project, fc7, lots of rust.
« on: October 27, 2007 - 03:32:18 PM »
Hi folks,

Im Pena from Finland and here is my project.

I had this plum crazy challenger few months ago.Me and my friend drove over 1280km for this.

There was rust in firewall and trunk floor was fixed, now it was lost. But I still wanted to buy it, because it´s r/t and original plum crazy car.

She was running with her own engine and it was nice to drive in my garage and start rebuilding.

After sand plasting I noticed that there is way more replaceable metal, trunk floor, firewall, cabin floor , both back fenders and many more places.

 :chatting:I have more pics here http://penasgarage.blogspot.com :chatting:

I will upgrade my picture collection when ever I have something done.

If you have any questions or you just want to chat, feel free to contact me.

Pena

Welcome to the site, Pena. :wave:  Your Challenger will look very cool with the paint options it came with, but I'm a little biased.

I did some progress to this project, and ordered some new sheet metal and some brakes.

Full factory style rear fenders, rear valance, rear inner fenders, doors repair panels, front fender repair panels and panel between trunk lid and rear window.

I ordered ssbc force 10 brake kit too from drum to disk, without brake booster.

Now its just waiting for my parts to arrive.
