My t/a clone project pics

[Scat Pack Fever]

Finally at the point where I am putting it back together. It makes all the hard work worth it.

I love that color. What are the details on the car?

[Scat Pack Fever]

The car started out as a 74 challenger. I decided to clone it because the rust was so bad in the rear of the car. The vin will remain the same and it will always be a 74.  I choose the green go color with the black top because of a challenger t/a I saw with the same color combination back in 80's. I plan to make it a retro mid 70's car with nos vintage decals in the quarter glass, nos air shocks and cragar wheels with the 70's style tires. I plan on putting a 340 six pack in it in the future. I still have to purchase the carpet, seat covers etc.

Sweet! Can't wait to see the finished product.

   I can't wait to see what it looks like!


I sort of have a similar alter ego to my car.  My '72 is pretty stock but I have a set of  Keystone Klassics, '71 style Go Wing, air shocks, hood cut out for a Mr. Gasket Street scoop (with the 3 red butterflies).  I acutally had all sorts of vintage racing stickers on the quarter glass (from the original owner in the 70's) but took them off for the factory look.  The only sticker I left on was the "Hi-Jackers" air shocks bunny.  I've been to World of Wheels shows and can't find anyone who has them.  Glad I didn't take em off!


Love the Go-Green color!

Your Chally looks to be coming on strong,like the green

Looks good.  What size rims do you have on the back there?

NOS Air Shocks??

Love the color.  Looks like you went to a lot of effort to put the 70 rear tail light assembly on.  Maybe you could tell us what other 1970 modifications have been done (planned) and your experiences (good & bad) making it all come together.  More pics would be great.  Like what I see.

The rims are 10" wide by 15. The back spacing is only 3". I plan on buying Cragar's with 4'1/4 backspacing. Since I cut the whole back of the car off, I found a 1970 tail panel attached to a trunk floor. I welded the whole thing in and then put on new quarters. I had to patch the middle of the trunk with some repo's. This was before the reproduced the whole trunk floors. I found a set of N.O.S. Monroe air max air shocks that you can see in ads in vintage hot rod mags. My goal is to make a challenger that looked like one  back in the mid 70's with N.O.S. vintage aftermarket high performance parts and vintage decals for the quarter glass. I am also going to find a N.O.S. 8 track player that I will mount on the floor. I though I would do something a little different. This is my first attempt at a restoration. I think I have had to do everything twice. Thanks for all the compliments.

I like the way that the blackout on the tail panel goes all the way to the top of the quarts an trunk. When I re-do mine on the "Ratty R/T" project, I will for sure remove the trim and do it right!

Great minds think alike...    It's from the original owner, installed in the 70's.

Don't forget the fire extinguisher on the tranny hump!

Gotta love the 70's

Nice work, aren't the roof mouldings SE version? You also have the SE tail panel, don't you.
