Green top 1970 Challenger resto

Looks good brotha man! have you made any firm decisions on the color and hood and stuff like that? Will she be ready for you to reassemble when you get back?

Thanks for the info, but you left out on big thing!! How much was it? That's my biggest factor. I'm already straying from original so the thinner seam isn't gonna break my heart.

$395.00, not cheap but for me it is worth it to have the correct roof. I considered getting a white wide seam top and dying it green, problem is after looking at original samples from SMS the green tops are actually two tone with a much darker shade of green in the recessed portion of the grain.

Looks good! Anyone have any experience with Dante's vinyl tops??

Also got some more done to the car. She'll be headed out thursday!! Hopefully it will be ready for me to put together when I return from the sand box!!

Looks like you have been busy there. Whats the countdown to when you leave?

Yeah he's pretty good at getting that stuff. He's in the Guard here in Cheyenne.

LOL so you are good until he shows up in the desert next to you right 

[AZkcar135]

Yeah, that would suck if he did!! He's not supposed to go until the fall.

Well she's loaded and headed off to the shop!! Next time I see her she'll be ready to put together!!!

  awesome and congrats on getting her on her way to repair and colour

[Sleepychallenger]

It's a bit of a bittersweet moment right. Knowing she is going to be done but that you aren't going to be the one doing it.

That's some pretty nice housing up there. Is it privatized there too

[AZkcar135]

Thanks guys! Yeah it does kind of suck, but I know it's going to get done, and a lot better than what I could do!!! It actually isn't base housing! I live in a community in Cheyenne. They look like base housing, but it's pretty common to have these duplexes here.

[Sleepychallenger]

Yeah, they got me good there. Looks a lot like housing. Keep posting pictures  as progress is made. If you need anything while you are over there, hit me up in the global.

Hey guys! having fun in the 115+ degree heat out here!!!! lol but here's some updates on the Challenger! I can't wait to see it done when I get back to the states!!!!!

New AMD trunk floors!!



Old trunk mostly removed.



Passenger inner wheel housing needed repair also, when it got hit years before I owned it the previous owner used a crowbar to pull it out.....



replacement quarter tacked in!!




Front fenders were in great shape and already for paint!!

[Sleepychallenger]

Progress is looking good man. Its good to see you checking in. Other than the heat, how you holding up? Anything you need? Don't know which area your at or how much access you have to stuff. Hit me up on the global if you need/want anything from the ROK before I head out of here.
