also the marker light pressings, some great work going on here makes my resto look like a walk in the park

awesome, very talented and dedicated work
, people here in the states would consider parting that kind of car out,
its good to see someone restore it , and from what it looks like its going to be better than ma mopar her self

the quarter panel i have fitted was a lower ssection supplied with car, dave you are correct
the body line pressing is not too good and i will be putting a pair of amd full quarters on.
marker lights are going anyway

Yup, we are really spoilt for choice now on Challenger panels, even compared to a few years ago, both quality and quantity.
Keep going

Great thread, nice to see someone pushing the envelope
what is a BTR Hydratrac, is that some kind of Viscous LSDs, did a search seemed to be associated in some way with TVR info, is it a similar unit ?
