Aussie T/A Challenger (Clone)
« on: August 26, 2013 - 11:17:23 PM »
 :aussie: Hi guys (and gals). I'm new to Cuda-Challenger, but not to E-Bodies. I moved on the 71 Duster recently to buy this - 70 Challenger #3 and a keeper. I wanted a T/A, but also a car i can modify, drive, park and leave without sweating on it getting stolen so a clone was the obvious choice.  There was also a small cash consideration too!!! :roflsmiley:

I have a host of upgrades planned like suspension upgrades (Hotkis TVS kit, brakes etc.), stroking the 340 to 416 and installing a TKO kit that has been sitting in the garage for a few months now. I will be sure to post pics as work starts. Its will be along the lines of this really interesting project: http://www.cuda-challenger.com/cc/index.php?topic=93994.0

This is a great forum and I really enjoy reading about builds and tech info and.. of course.. I love the enthusiasm of the Mopar community when it gets talking cars!

Cheers.
