Congratulations on getting your 71 Challenger. Right now, most of what you need is available. The most difficult item will be a 71 grille. A nice one will cost you a couple thousand dollars at least. Until they are reproduced, they will be difficult to buy. You'll find alot of help here...
I've never seen a fender from AMD come without the headlight bucket panel as it's welded in, if that is what you are referring to, unless it's a 1972-74 Challenger front fender. See the attached photos. The two photos are original 1970/71 fenders I have. You may need to contact AMD.

An update. I think I may have the brake line seepage stopped. Time will tell. I did get the steering column in but I may have to take it out if I decide to install the pedals in for a 4 speed conversion. I'll know as soon as I get the engine from a friend's house if the crankshaft is drilled for...
I received a Challenger where someone had cut the crossmember out to make the linkage they had on hand to work on the 4 speed. It was the wrong linkage. I found the crossmember piece on a floor tunnel someone was selling. I cut the crossmember piece from the purchased floor tunnel and welded it...
Just a suggestion. You may want to put your search for motor mount brackets in the Cuda-Challenger Parts WANTED section instead of the For Sale section for a possible better response.

There are 3 separate pieces shown in each of my photos. So, you need all 3 pieces? Use the photos for reference if you find someone near you with the pieces for sale.

Here's a bump for you to get it back on recent posts. Are you looking just for the center panel part that the latch mechanism bolts to or the entire panel that goes across the entire top of the grille that the latch panel bolts to? I don't know in what area of the US you are located but...
So far, so good. It's been 24 hours without that phone. My wife asked for something that was on my phone and I reminded her I didn't have it as I had put it away in a drawer. She pulled it out and turned it on. She wanted to see if something had been recorded on one of our cameras. As soon as...
I gave myself a birthday present today that doesn't cost me any money (so far). I turned off my cell phone at 9:30 pm last night and threw it in a drawer. I told my wife I was not going to turn it on until Wednesday. It has been so nice with no calls, text messages, face time messages, etc. I...
I know this is many $$$ but it may be your best option right now if you need them for your car right away. If you are not ready for the rear window hardware yet, it's a toss up whether to get it now or hope a cheaper one comes up. I'll PM you with what I have. If you can find the parts closer to...
Make sure as you buy the parts that they are very complete. The widow tracks have stops and bumpers bolted on that I see some tracks for sale are missing. Here's an example of a fairly complete track on ebay:
1970-1974 DODGE CHALLENGER QUARTER WINDOW TRACK RIGHT SIDE | eBay
You'll need these...
Keep us informed how your parts search is going for the rear window hardware. I may have some parts laying around. I'll take a look. Shipping is a killer as I live in Washington state.

I have to ask. Was the car disassembled when you bought it? I have received my latest project, a 72 Challenger, in boxes. Many pieces are missing. The good part is I parted several Challengers in the 1970s and kept many parts. I haven't had to purchase major parts, but l am replacing many parts...
