HemiChallenger,

Awesome work.  I am very glad that you brought it back from the grave.  FJ6 cars are rare to say the least!

Would you mind if parked next to you?   :cheers:

Nice choice of color there!

Btw, you may be the only person I know of that might have beat me in the metal replacement department.

FY1443433This is a customers car, not my personal vehicle. The customer lives in lancaster so im sure you guys can get togther to display them or do a photoshoot at carlisle. I will have the car in my booth at carlisle to display the restoration work that we do. I have a two shops in Wilow Street and Columbia. You should come out to our Mopar BBQ in the fall!
74challenger03The car was originally a 383 auto R/T real N96 shaker hood car. Since we did not have the original drivetrain we are upgrading but will keep the original paint and interior colors.
HP_Cuda Thanks, this one is nothing compared to a current project that we are doing.

Did you graft the vin stamp back into the cowl?
Looks like you put the original radiator support in. 

Awesome project.  Daunting I bet.  That's an incredible amount of replacement work.  :2thumbs:

Thanks guys. I salvaged both original cowl and rad support. It was very time consuming but they are two panels that are important to be original in my book.
