Hello, my name is Justin and I'm addicted to my Challenger.
« on: October 21, 2012 - 07:14:54 PM »
Greetings all.  My name is Justin and I am embarking on the revival of the 1972 Challenger Rallye that was given to me by my father.  It's a clean California car that is 95% unmolested and original.  Bright red, black bucket/console interior, vinyl top, numbers matching 340 4 speed car with fender tag and two broadcast sheets to boot.  It hasnt been on the road in 20+ years but I plan on changing that.  Oh yeah, a tree fell on it too.  I'll be asking lots of questions and scouring the site so I'll see you around!

Welcome! Good luck with that nice looking Chally.  Doesn't look like there is too much damage from the tree.

Not as bad as I thought but still is painful to have that damage.  You think you can just replace the passenger front fender?  :clueless:

our car is like mine, looks better from the driver's side.  My brother-in-law noticed I always took pics from the driver's side as the passenger side has a lot of primer!  :roflsmiley:

The tree got the fender, hood and roof.  The hood and roof aren't too bad but the fender is obviously toast.  I'll be sure to get some better photos up soon.

Welcome to the site.  I like your dad's choice in wheels and don't park under any trees.
