[RED71RT383]

Hello all, I have some friends that have mention this sight and i know its a good source of information. What i have is 1971 numbers matching Challenger RT, FE5 red, 383, column auto 3.91 posi 8.75. I bought my challenger 2 years ago and the paint and some of the prior restoration was ok at best. I came across a local dealership to see if one of the guys there that i heard does resto work at the shop and on the side to have a look at my challenger.They have a great store dedicated to restoration parts and a Cuda on floor for display. Mopar Mans candy store. Well he turned out to be a pretty good friend. After Mopardave and i did some work last year. I decided the car wasnt up to par and to mine or Daves liking.  it was an older restoration of like 10 years ago and was painted in a single stage. Well last fall in october I parked the car at mopardave house and we proceeded to take the car apart. I thought we would just detrim the outside but to my surprise Dave took it all the way down to a bar roller with just the glass remaining. Had to do a little patch work on the left rear quarter, right quarter a small patch down by the rocker and a trunk floor, I was shock on how pitted and holy the trunk was. I never really looked under that trunk mat. January we shipped the car out for fresh FE5 paint

   Welcome to site.  Great looking challenger.  Amber high beams, wow, that brings back about 38 years of memory for me.  Not trying to hi-jack your thread, but I put ambers in my 1st car, then I rigged some in my Cuda.  Anyway, you've got a beautiful mopar...and where in MI are you?

I had to have them in my Cuda back when she was new.
