    Thanks,

    i have a vision with what i'm doing here....................actually, i saw a picture , LOL

    i saw this pic of a '73 challenger in a snap-on calendar. i took one look and said that's how i'm doing
    my '74.  so i can't take all the credit here. hey, the owner of the car might even be on the forum.
    basically,  a late model challenger. Petty blue, black vinyl top, black T/A hood, black T/A stripe and wing,
    all bright moldings, bumpers and trim. none of that stuff painted. chrome cragars too. this thing really
    popped!

    well, no new pics yet. today i got the door weather stripping on. the drip rail and upper weather strip channels polished and on.
    all the door end seals. the vinyl top trim on, (oh, let's not get into what i had to do for that  :swear: ) the little trim thingies at
    the bottom of the A pillar for the vinyl top ( they were interesting  :-\ ) new 1/4 window seals. new door locks.  and there's still
    way too much to do. when i get some new pics, i'll post them.
