RHD Conversion

Just out of curiosity...has anyone overseas been required to convert their Cuda or Challenger to right-hand drive?  Pics?

Fortunately now we don't have to convert, in converting unless money is no object is only a compromise.
With the E body there is no RHD steering boxes or idler arms so another brand has to be adapted, the Aussie Valiant boxes hit the block, oil filter (SB). Some convertors move the motor over to try to get clearance.

my 440 rt has a hq /wb p/steering box, dodge idler arm turned upside down , valiant drag link with extractors and the motor hasnt been moved over , also i have used  valiant steering boxs in bb and s/b cars with same results. the steering is prob the easiest part of the conversion.
