I'm leaning towards ON.... :22yikes:

I don't screen potential buyers, only their money....That clears, then I'm all good. I think there is a strong interest coming from Germany... :money:

Re: My 440+6 71 Challenger R/T 32 hours in !

Anothe 5-6 hours today and I got most of the front end done. Keep in mind I'm restoring most of these parts as I got (not counting the grill) :eek4:

Car is an original front/rear spoiler car and lower front valance molding car...

Alan,
Do you have the layout and/or measurements of the front chin spoilers? My friend's car has them, but I believe the front valance has been swapped out and the former chin spoilers were mounted in the wrong place... If I have the gap distance from center and maybe a forward/aft measurement, then I can get it from there.........

Thanks in advance..

My car still had the original front valance so the measurements should be original.

Unfortunately, the car is gone into storage and I won't be able to measure it for you until later this week.....

One of the downfalls of having a "one car at a time" shop....Challenger is out and a V code Runner is in this week....

Love the before and after pics.  Incredible work!  :2thumbs:

Got licence and insurance today :burnout:....Took it for a short drive, maybe 5 miles....ZERO issues, one or two little rattles maybe.

Still need to get it in for a front end alignment and we're already for Carlisle...

Wow stunning.

Great work as always!

You didn't happen to snap a video of that bad boy running did you? Also will you be doing a post like this for the Road Runner? I Am not so much interested in the Road Runner as seeing the steps you take in restoring the car.

I wish I Were going to Carlisle to just to take in this car.

I'm not savy enough to figure out that "video" thing.....You're talking to a guy who doesn't even own a cell phone :22yikes:

There are lots of pictures on my web site of the cars I do including the Road Runner. www.alangallantautomotiverestoration.com

Unfortunately, when the cars are not mine, I can not control the speed at which they get restored. For example...I started components for that Road Runner four years ago....all the owner can afford this year is a paint job.....So once it gets painted, it's back to his house to sit again until that magical green stuff appears.... :biggrin:

Truly beautiful work like it just came off the factory floor.

My guess is it won't be on sale for long... :cheers:

Nice job Alan. Your car is amazing.

As you stated earlier there was alot of metal work done.  When you replaced the back half of the car did you use the unitized Dynacorn piece with the frame rails/rear shock cross member/trunk floor etc.. If so, just wondered how the fit was.

Yes we did, save some money and a ton of time (which is more money :grinyes:). Fit really good, come with all the brackets and do-dads but we switched a lot of them for the correct 71 pieces.
Lots more pictures here http://www.alangallantautomotiverestoration.com/1971-440-6-Challenger.html  scroll half way down...
