One for the Road - 1970 Challenger T/A Clone

[CHUCKS71]

On your mid floor pans you can use them the way they are but as Russ pointed out the seat belt holes aer to far back.The easy fir would be to drill out the spot welds for the seat belt nuts and move them forward .On your frame  you can use Safe T Cap's rear rails they slide over your stock rails and you weld them together.Here is the site  http://www.autorust.com/k_22e.html    Keep up the good work    Chuck

I used Broadway Title Company in Alabama.  It took about 6 months to get it so go to their website and print out an application. send it with a check and a bill of sale, then start waiting.  There are some states that do not allow this type of transfer so check the website first.  You are selling them the car, they register it, then they sell it back to you.  It cost about $125.   My seller counldn't find his title after a divorce and moving twice. The DMV couldn't find any record of the car even though it had a Missouri 1993 safety inspection sticker on the windshield.  Here is the link:

If you get a title this way make sure you keep the original paperwork from Shawn.  This way you can always prove the car was yours before you got the title from Broadway.  It has been my experience that Broadway does their research and is good. If you use a company that does not do the research you could end up with a title to a car that already has a title.

Here's some updates that got taken down.  This is the car on its way to my highschool.  Thanks to farmboy on the design for the wheel casters!

I need a set of casters as well.  Those look really nice.  Would it be possible for me to get the design sent to me as well so that I can make a set?  Thanks,

What I did for the casters was ordered two fixed 10" wheel casters and two swivel 10" casters from Harbor Freight Tools. Heres the link:

I welded a 5 x 5 inch plate of about 1/4 thick steel to the tops of these.  Then I took 4x4 inch by 1/8" thick square steel tubing to use as the stands.  To attach the casters to the front I used the K frame bolt holes that are in the frame.  I took the tubing and lined it up with the holes, marked where they would be then cut diagonally to form a prism type look.  Then I drilled two holes in the tubing to allow for the k frame bolts to go through.  I repeated the same process for the other side and bolted the tubing in to make sure everything was good.  I then took another piece and put it up against the bolted tubing to form a perpendicular piece for the wheels to weld too.

In the back all I did was took a piece of the tubing and stood it straight up then cut away an opening so that it could be bolted to where the leaf spring hangers go.  I marked the holes, drilled them, then welded the tubing to the wheels.

Overall it was pretty easy, the tubing could be a lot smaller but i chose to go pretty big just to be safe.  If you need any help or if you want me to create a replica I could try.  Heres some pics of the finished result.

Looking great !  keep up the great work and make sure you put a treatment and paint seal on all the internal box section that is getting covered over.

Heres an update with the rear seat panel mocked up and ready to be welded in.

Awesome! yeah definitely POR-15 inside the frame rails and all the plaes that are not going to be accessed later. Looking great!

So I graduated on may 27th and it was time for the challenger to say bye to the school.  The bad news was my dad did not want the challenger at the house anymore since he recently purchased an 07 vette.  The good news is my parents decided to rent me a warehouse space where I could work on the car over the summer.
