I finally found my project
« on: November 03, 2007 - 05:42:54 PM »
After an extensive search and looking at a lot of "finsihed" cars that were junk, I decided to go with a 70 Challenger R/T that needs some work, but at least I know it will be done correctly. Just wanted to say thanks for everybody's help and opinions during my search. Now I can start the resto.

I wil get out there ASAP and take more pics. As for the details--it is a JS23N car with a date correct non matching numbers 383 and a 4speed. Runs pretty good, just needs interior, 1 floor pan and obviously a serious paint job. And of course all of the little things that will nickel and dime me to death but I did it anyway.

That looks like it could be a ton of fun, and a pretty nice start to your project, but we still need more pics!!  Love the color BTW.

The Challenger really does look like a great project. The little things will nickle and dime you to death but it will be worth it in the end. Keep us posted with pictures of your progress and good luck.
