my 70 chall resto , updates

Post by challenger »

i brought this challenger off duncan watts in 2000 as non runner and needed a lot of work had a 318-904-7 1/4 in fact more work than i wanted to take on but what the hell it was a genuine 70 , someone may know of the car as it was in manchester on reg Q158 HVF and used to be orange , big thanks to mma for getting it on a age related plate :thumbright: attached are some of my naff quality pics which as you can see had to have a load of new panel work , rear quarters took about the longest to do and get right also replacing the cowl on the bulkhead was a nightmare but thanks to dunc for supplying me one from a cuda , who also supplied me a tail light panel due to havin a 72 panel in it :thumbright: i guess being a belguim car its seen a whole load of bad weather hence the rust ,MOPAR mostly old parts and rust !!!
