I don't know if any of you will remember her but an old member around here named "mopar-or-no-car" had a 1971 chally in her backyard just sitting there! and with ton's of persistance my wife and I talked her into selling it to us!! and we finally got it in the shop a few weeks ago! the shop says there is little body rust(yea!!!) but the top under the vinyl is real bad! so they ground all the rust off the roof so now is it almost paper thin
they are going to fibreglass the underside and the top then put a new vinyl top on it!! the interior is getting redone so it the undercarraige, the brakes are being rebuilt, a thicker sway bar is being added, new leaf springs are being put on. The 340 was SO rusted from sitting outside with no carb on it that they thought is was a gonner BUT I am so excited they can save it and we are gonna make one heck of a beast out of it!! I can't wait!! and the best part of this whole thing is that the owner of the shop is taking PERSONAL care of the whole project EVERYTHING goes through him before it gets done!! if I am lucky it will be done except for paint by the june mopar alley's rally for all you folks out here in cali !!!!!!
She told me that that car has been sitting for over 14 years I am s SO lucky that there was not more rust!! the guy said it is a REAL SOLID car!!
I just can't wait to get behind the wheel !! I am not too sure the wife is on board but she will come around when she sees the finished project!!

I guess she figures we already have the '70 why do we need another one? But this one is gonna be IT!!
Sorry guys no pictures everytime I go down there I forget the camera plus I don't want to get in there way!! I promise I will post the finish product!!
