Hey mate, good to see your getting somewhere  :)
Is the left rear quarter new or has it been painted because it looks pretty clean/smooth.  ??? ;D
What colour are you going mate?


Cheers,

Mopar73340, we all have to start somewhere.  Your's looks like it was in pretty good shape to start with...just a few issues.  How far has it come in the last couple of months?  Body work complete? Paint?

Mopar73340, nice looking start you've got there.  Just curious, did you have A/C and did a small section of the firewall have pinholes due to the Heater and A/C core leaking?  Mine had two small ones and a local '70 R/T had a lot of pinholes throughout his firewall.  Anyways, you have a great start to an awesome ride! 8) :P

Thanks guys. Just to answer questions, NZ the car is going to be Bright White when it's done. The quarters were replaced about 10 yrs or so ago but the shop or persons doing the work didn't do such a great job. The car had supposedly been garaged most of this time and still had the rust you see. Rev- the car is just about ready for paint, I'll be posting some more pics as soon as I figure out how to make the images smaller. New camera takes larger file size pics.  Street, I didn't have any pinholes in the firewall except where the insulation pad sits on the firewall inside next to the emerg brake. I'll post a pic for you.  Just so you know, the car is in good hands and is being worked on by the same person who painted Moparman's Banana Chall.

Yeehaaaaaaaaa mine's going to be Bright White as well, good choice.  ;D It's just a nicer colour IMO than the orginal white which was known for being on the creamy side of white. That www.vanishingpointcar.com site has some nice Challenger's in Bright White Chrysler paint code PW7.
Cool can't wait to see the end result.  8)

Wow! More project pictures!

Jeez, this is really getting my enthusiasm going to bring my old gal back to life.

Hey MOPAR73340, are you going to use repo panels or original replacements from a donor car?
