Bienvenue to the site! Don't worry about your English, as my French is "pas bonne" either. I've also got a 74 Challenger. Good luck, there's a lot of knowledge and very decent people on this site and they'll help you.  :wave:

Imagine having a floor pan that doesn't resemble a lace curtain! I'm just envious. It's going to be nice when you're done.  :thumbsup:
