I had a '71 Challenger and did a full mechanical resto on it (new 408 stroker, 4 wheel power disc, rebuilt trans and rear with 3.55 gears, new wiring, new TTI headers/exahaust, new Nitto tires with TT2 17" wheels, new suspension, fuel system, gauges, trunk floor).  It was very fast and a lot of fun but had an older paint job and some needed some rust repair on the panels. I recently traded it for a '70 Cuda AAR clone that was recently frame off restored.  Eventually I want to add a '69 Charger and/or RR.

Looking good!  What kind of subframe connectors did you put in?

They are just some square tubing that the body guy fabbed  up, and welded in,,,he is pretty talented and tucked them close to the floor without cutting floors,,and you can't see them from the side,,,ie they don't hang down at all
Pretty stout motor going in,,,,so I don't want to twist the car up
