Came across a super deal on some 09 challenger panels and it got me thinking anyway to fit these in a 70-74 challenger?
Might look pretty cool...
Any ideas?
Thanks

well the new Chall is about 7" taller so without sectioning the panels I doubt they would fit , which panels did you get ??
 the other issue is the front wheel is much closer to the front bumper on the new cars

There is no way new Challenger door panels will fit on an old Challenger.   :grinno:

Not even close. They are two totally different cars.
