The Dodge Challenger Message Board

Finally, after two years, I will be driving my challenger again. I purchased her in a very rough state (I was scared to drive it around the block). I did all the work, except for spraying the paint and applying the vinyl top. I've made a lot of friends during the course of the restification – Some of the best being members of this board/forum.

Car was stripped to metal, lots of new metal, rebuilt suspension, new built 340, rebuilt A833, pistolgrip. I still need to replace my seats, but that may be for a long time. They look good, but I like the 70 RT seats a lot. They look slick.

I hope to have a lot of fun with this. I've never driven a powerful muscle car before so I'm looking forward to this Friday. I had a vision of a challenger in my head and new I had to have it. this message board has helped plenty. Thanks everyone for keeping open discussions alive - I've spent sooooooo many hours reading every topic - sometimes twice - casue I'm learning.

Again, Thank you Everyone!

Brant,

Your car looks excelent, the paint job is very nice, whish my was in that condition now. Good work. I like the wheels what brand are they ?

really lovely car, well done, and what a great stance.

Nice piece you got there! One question: what's the coluor? FE5(Bright Red) or EV2 (Hemi Orange)? Again, well done!

Congratulations on a great looking car. Now all that hard work will finally pay off. You're going to have SO much fun driving it.

I saw that first photo and I thought "Hey! he cloned MY car"!

Really nice work.

Brant,
Real nice! I see you found the side tips, where did you end up getting them from?

Thanks everyone. I felt bad for holding off to post some final pics. I'm sure some may have thought I was just here to bother people. Thanks for the complements, it's always nice to here - especially coming from those who know what their talking about.

Wojpi, the wheels are Cragar SST's, some day I will switch them, as I feel they look too hot-rody. I do like them though.

The car is EV2 base/clear. I purchased Accurate LTD's reprodution TA mufflers - 2.5"in, 2.25"out. Tips are from Josh's Muscle Cars, they are exact reproduction although they are 2.25" - coning to 3". I am VERY pleased with both products. I didn't put an H or X pipe in cause I wanted to hear the individual exhaust notes - I'm happy I did that.

Thanks again everyone

Hey Brant. You should change your signature now

Hi Brant the car looks good hope to see it at New Hamburg. My 440 is coming home on saturday see looks good .but it still has to get wet sanded and polished .Stop by any time .Steve

Exellent work you have done, nice with and 340 too, smallblock rules

Another Save. YES Beautiful
Show it off as much as possible.
Great Job.

Nice looking car and congrats on the finished project

Hers a couple more pics that I really like. It's before I had the suspension set up so it looks real aggressive. I dinged my header because of this stupidity – but what fun is it doing everything by the book?

cheers.

Like others have said...I love the stance.
What size/offset are the wheels?
Also...what size tires are you running?
