71 Challenger Vert Project in its new home
« on: March 16, 2009 - 10:29:44 AM »
Well, I finally got my vert moved to the big garage so I can start on it. Here are some pictures of what I'm starting with. I haven't worked on it in 20+ years of storage.

Trunk and floor are fairly solid with no rust thru. I will probably replace them anyway. Worst part of the car is the passenger side quarter that has been hit.

I'm going to get a rotisserie after I sell more spare parts. Sucks not having a job. I have time to work on it but no extra cash.

Reminds me of my car almost.

Only original body panels are the floors, one door, and one fender.

Nice looking project, if you ever need someone to store a grille or two, let me know.
