So this is my start right now i have the dash back in waiting to wire up new carpet laid over new floor paint,new headliner seats reinstalled .Working on a tuff wheel setup transmission is to have a rebuild shift kit and 2100-2500 stall torque converter installed. i need to finish hooking the coilovers up hookup brake lines. then install motor.I welcome your comments keep in mind this is not a numbers matching car but it is very solid .will be a 360 punch 30 904 and 8.75 w/391 sg.i am trying to save up for som TTI headers the roof is in primer and i have to say that that was a big job with both sides rusted out .After I put the motor in I will start to re work the body. the color was a B5 blue but i am changing it to a surf blue which comes on the new challengers and they call it b5 blue but its not. I get a couple hrs a week and maybe 3hrs on the weekend to plug away at this I hope you enjoy my project. I have to say that this site has made this project must easyier to find parts for with good people thanks to all that have helped me.

Love the year! Cant wait til you post up the completed pics.
stripped hood was a little thicker then I had thought and i was lucky enough to find 35 year old bondo and red putty .so here we go.It will be a while before I can get back on it but will try to keep things going .I still have a lot of body panels to redue transmission to be rebuilt headers to buy,(ouch ).

I really like that gauge layout you have setup in your dash.
Is that a panel you made up yourself or something you bought online somewhere?
I'd be interested in either trying to make my own or buying one if that option existed.

Looking good. You going to cut a hole in the hood so you can get some fresh air for that scoop or is it going to be non functional? Keep up the nice work.
I found it on ebay. It looked like a polished aluminum but when i got it it was plastic. the headlight and wiper buttons needed alot of adjusting to use this panel.
i havent deceided yet.
if i get the donut gaskeds then there will be some holes and thanks
