Not my choice of a car, but hey, building is what makes this hobby cool & real. Door panels will be interesting as well as rear arm rests & ash trays. What would rule is a e-body bench seat (I have a rough one in my garage I would sell to someone & its rough, but there) & a standard dash & either a AM or AM/FM radio. Use bare bones hub caps & I have a sugestion: Paint the tail panel argent like a Gran Coupe & use NO chrome tail surround or trunk lip moulding!
We all seen clones in the past & they will not go away, but everyone does like them, don't get me wrong. I always wanted to make a clone again, but I had a Gran Coupe as my 1st ride & I made it look like a Cuda & added whatever I could to make it like a Cuda but retained the Gran Coupe name. I personally want to make a 70 Challenger SE into a 70 Challenger T/A SE! Now, who has ever though to that one? can you see it? Vinyl top with SE badges, stainless on the top of the doors, quarters & back of the hood? Argent trim panel on the tailpanel? Leather style interior & a overhead console? SE door panels? Gray grille?? Luggage rack instead of the spoiler! You have to admit now you have read this you can just see it right? I have seen (& I have a fender tag picture) of a AAR with the leather interior & this has an overhead console in it. I never seen a T/A with an overhead console in it originally, does one exist?
I have never thought of what these cars would be like as 4-door Cuda or Challenger. Its looks great & i like the progress. The 71 GTX conv. was different, but how about this one people: a 1971 Coronet 2-door?? !! Use Charger doors & put on a 71 RR rear bumper! Hows that one?? I let that idea go & how about this one now as well? a 70 Charger 500 SE with door blisters that have '500' in them???!! AAR Cuda convertible clones & T/A convertible clones are cool as well, but those have been done! I think there is a 71 Coronet WAGON in the Milwaukee area that blue has a 383 in it with a 4-speed pistol-grip (1 of 3?) Thats way cool, but I have not seen it or heard about for a long time. I always thought that the center of the 69 Charger grille & the 72-74 Cuda grille look alike, and the 70 Cuda grille & a 69 Polara grille share some small similarities but don't they all? Even my 89 Plymouth Voyager van remined me of something on the grille: The name 'Plymouth' on the grille has a small piece about 1-1/2" long to the right of the Plymouth emblem, just like the 'red line' on the 70 Cuda grille has a smaller 'red-line' moulding to the right of the emblem. (what are you doing, setting your drink down to go run out to your old van & see that?)
Now after all of that, just what are you guys doing to do for outside door handles for the REAR doors, since there is no lock cylinder in rear doors?
