    I got the front header panel installed along with the grill and bumper. I moved my bumpers in and put on 72 style bumpers so I have no holes from the guards. I will try and get the valance and headlamps installed in the next couple of days.

    Looks good.

    I would've blacked out the parts painted behind the grille though.

    If the front valance isn't on yet, he can still do the blackout.

    I got the black out painted on the front end Sunday put the valance on and got all the glass installed in the last 3 days. The windshield and back glass were installed on Monday and after messing with the drivers side door glass and hardware for about 4 hours on Tuesday i got it installed. The other glass went in today and I started buffing the side stainless trim so I can adjust the side glass and move to the interior and maybe get the Challenger on the road in the next few months. Here are a few pictures on the glass installed.

      Got the stainless trim all buffed and even found the aluminum lower valance molding off one of my73 or 74 Challengers in very good shape. It will be perfect for my 73 Challenger. Buffing and taking dents out of stainless can be very time consuming. I have about 6 hours in all the stainless parts off the Challenger and used one of the 3 extra sets I have for the car. Here is a picture of the stainless trim and I may get some of it on in the next few days if time permits.

    I got all the new side seals in and adjusted the side glass today. I put the side stripes on this last week and I really like the white next to the blue. They will really go with the white interior. I put the passenger side painted mirror on and even got the tail panel trim on so I'm thinking it will be on the road in 5 or 6 weeks if I keep working on it in my spare time. I have noticed my gas gauge does not move and have not checked the gauge yet as I put a new sending unit in but my 70 Cuda's new sending unit from chrysler was dead right out of the box so my new challenger one could be dead to. Here are a few more pictures of my progress.

    I started working on the interior but ran into a snag with the headliner and had to have a guy come over and give me a hand as I coudn't get the wrinkles out no matter what I seemed to do. The guy had it all looking great in about a hour and I had already messed with it for 3 hours. I got my easwood sound deadener installed and the carpet is in place along with some of the inside window trim. I set the back seat in and one bucket seat just to see how it is going to look when done. Here are some pictures of my progress.
