    71 challenger clone project
    « on: August 29, 2010 - 11:37:51 PM »
    Pictures are from 1997 shortly after I got the car.  I Intro-ed my self on the newbie page with a little story.  The plan is to turn her into a Yella 340 RT fake job.  Finally went to the shop last week.  New pics will follow as I pic them up from the shop.  Many questions too as I need Help!  Thanks in advance.

    WOW, that's a pretty solid car. Looked really nice in the photos you posted. Can't wait to see how it's going to turn out. You're doing a great job on the rust repair too!

    Thanks everyone for all the encouraging words.  I just have the dream.  I don't have the knowledge or skill to do this stuff myself, so I have contracted a local restorer to help build my project.  I'm very pleased so far.  We are waiting on a fender or two from AMD so other areas are being addressed.  I'm hoping they are available before we run out of things to fix or I run out of money.
