MM Muscle - 1971 Dodge Challenger

[Jeff]

Well it wasn't a sweet $50 + trade deal but it was a good deal. Even with the 300 mile round trip and the issues with the hood I see now I still got a good deal. The originals are made of better and thicker steel then the reproductions. It is a HEAVY bastard. A reproduction with scoop inserts would be around $650 so I think I did alright for myself, saved a few hundred bucks anyway.

Strapped down in the Minivan for the long trip. We got home around midnight.





On the stand in the body shop. Few dents, kinks, and ripples. Nothing that cannot be fixed.





The real story is on the bottom where two small though rust holes were found and there is some decent surface rust that needs a good grind and POR-15ing.







SWAY BARZ!





Aluminum intake if I ever get it on...




The last little neat project for today's post. This is the trunk latch. The one two the right is the original the one to the left is the new one.



The new lock is from a 1966 Chrysler Imperial Phil had out in the "parts supply house"

Get the idea now?


INSTALLED! Now I need to get it wired up and I will have keyless trunk release so I can get a "beverage" from the trunk during car shows with ease!





Thanks for looking guys!
