72 Challenger Project Dodge Ball

['Cuda Hunter]

Cool car!

It's great some schools still have auto shop class.

Keep the sunroof. 

Any chance we could see the fender tag readout?

Does anyone know if the a body sunroof parts are compatible?
Those are not too hard to find.

Myunderstanding is that the Challengers did not come from the factor with the sunroofd installed. It was an option purchased from the dealer. The car was sent to a different place to have the sunroof installed before it was shipped to the dealer.

Here is the tag but its hard to see the numbers. The codes are

N95 R35 V5X EN2
   M42 N23 N41 N42 N85
J25 J52 J54 L25 L31 M21
V1X   U  C16 C56 G11 G35
EV2 B6X9 000 114 G60062
E55 D34 JH23 H2B 291707

Cool project for the kids.  I would work for pizzas too.

Make sure you keep us informed of your progress and we like lots of pictures.

I thought sunroof cars came in 71 only? Not sure just trying to learn

[Dodge Ball]

A few pics to show the progress we have made.

Interesting, probably hard to keep the kids attention in this age of instant gratification.  They see a whole car built in a single 1/2 hr episode on TV.
I applaud you, teaching is an under appreciated profession.

Thank you

Looks almost identical to my 'Cuda a couple of years back.  Keep up the good work and don't wait so long between updates.

I know, it's been a long time. I have all the rear sheet metal now so posting should be more frequent.

Very cool project!!  I couldn't help but notice that one of your photos was named Cicero...My Mom's family was/is from around that area.

Are you a member of the Chicagoland MoPar Connection club by chance?  I used to know quite a few guys from it, ranging anywhere from Bartlett to Naperville/DG/Warrenville/Lisle.

No I'm not a member.  I'm still pretty new to the Mopar Game. My family is also from Cicero and is where I grew up.  My Grandmother was the first generation born here and tells stories that date back to the Capone Era. She is 90 now.

Here we go. I drew a line 1 inch out from the raised edge near the top of the outer wheelhouse. I continued the line forward until I reached clean metal then turned 90 degrees and came to the outer edge. The rear of the wheelhouse in cut above the rotted area.
