HELLO! Newbie already needs help!
« on: June 01, 2008 - 12:13:31 AM »
Hello guys and gals, My name is Aaron im 28 from Bremerton Washington and own a real V-code R/T SE Challenger. I have been building this car on my own for the last 18 months. The car was on its way to the junkyard when i got it, and was in REALLY bad shape. It was originally a Alpine white with black mid-stripe car, 440+6 Dana-60 PB PS Super track pack, Basically all the goodies. Im getting ready to install my headliner and really need some help. I would love any pics or feedback from anyone with a SE car that has installed their headliner...Im pretty much going in blind on this because when i got my car the headliner was sagging so bad it was resting on the tops of the front seats! Plus it was a hammock for about 4 dead rats. And ive never got to look at a real SE car in person. I NEED HELP! Any info would be welcome. I have found a real headliner board, overhead console, all mounting brackets, sail panels, back window trim. And recovered it all. Its all ready to go.

Welcome - looks like you have a pretty nice project there.  I'm sure someone will be able to assist you with your headliner prob - look in the Interior threads and if you don't find it there, post a new thread.  There are a bunch of great people here offering lots of help. 

I resized your pic for you so you can use it for your avatar.  Post some more pics, please - we're photo hounds around here.

EDIT: Whoops - I see you beat me to it!   :2thumbs:
