Not sure what you are referring to,so Im pretty sure I didnt add those.Maybe sombody before me.What are torque boxes?
There are 2 in front and 2 in rear, located at the ends of the rocker panel.  They are stamped plates that are welded in to help transfer torsional loads better.  They were, to my knowledge, only put on Hemis, convertibles, and T/A's and AAR's.  Attached is a picture of one.

Cool!Thank you for the new knowlege.Im sure these were not added.The guy I got the car from wouldnt have added those,so they must be factory.They look factory(pretty rusty).

Sounds like you could order them special, maybe.  I hadn't heard of that.

With all this time off work Ive been getting alot done on the Challenger.The interrior will be done tomorrow.The only thing keeping it from hitting the road is this stupid column shifter linkage to the trans.I put a new "column shift" column in it today and everything looks and works great,but I missing somthing on the linkage to the trans.
Here is a peek at some progress...price goes up once Im driving this baby around town!Id like to keep it.

Hey buddy,

I'll 2nd & 3rd a thought here------ sell everything, but keep the Challenger and Camaro (if it's a 1969).  You simply will never find another 1970 Challenger in this condition for the money you are asking.  I can't believe 100 guys have not sweept down to buy it!  Do what you feel is best, but we feel you have other toys you could sell and we just want to be clear about our thoughts and recommendation.

Great job on the interior, especially the carpet.  What's your secret?
