1971 Challenger Resto Process On Going

[thenuke1]

long story short ... my dad stored it in the back yard in 88 and its been there ever since .... 2007 came along and we decided to bring it back to life .... 2008 ... a dream has come true

after about 2 weeks i started having radiator problems so i switched it out with an aluminum one

the "finished" product as far as Drivable goes

i learned that when u own a classic its an on going project no matter how much u think your done YOUR NOT ... you always run into extra stuff...

i recently added R/T stripes ... if anyone is looking to put stripes on your ride but dont want to spend a ton ... DO IT YOUR SELF ... go to ChallengerGary.com he sends what you need ... he sold me my kit which was all 4 stripes the R/T lettering at the end of the stripes and the R/T hood Lettering for $75 SHIPPED !!

BEFORE

AFTER

Its about to be 2 years in August that ive had it running and its still turns heads EVERY DAY ....

if anyone has questions or runs into problems with restos ask me away im still fresh with info ...
