Been saving money getting ready to work on my 73 340 challenger again. Like to see some pictures of other members projects and rides. Mine is B5 blue 340 auto car. blue interior. Debating weather to put the blue interior back in or go with black. Any thoughts.
Anyways hope to see other members project cars or daily drivers.

Been working on my first car restoration ever for the past 3-1/2 years. 73, 340, Rallye, 4 spd. Been driving it but still needs to be finished. Hope to have somewhat finished by May. Fun stuff! It's a real head turner on the road. 2nd coolest thing I have ever done in my life. I put a slide show together last week of the progress. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKOZ59dbJCc
Good luck and if you don't have the money.... borrow it (lol).

well. I think most of us in way or another get stuck in projects. Not enough time, Not enough space (which is my case) not enough spare funding,

what I can mention is that if you are thinking hard about the blue interior. I would buy them now while they are still available. RED and Blue in the "metro" style panels have been discontinued. Only option once the stock is gone is black or white. And then painting the black or white. We have 2 sets of blue panels in stock if your interested.

Here is one, Right up your alley. This is a numbers matching Cuda 383 4spd One owner car I recently acquired. It is originally B/7 Jamaica Blue with B/5 Bright Blue interior. I know that some people are not fond of blue interior, but that is usually because it is old and faded. I have personally seen several new restorations with blue interior and they look amazing. I will be keeping the blue in mine, especially since it is a numbers car. Another thing for you to consider is the heat that is generated by black interiors.

Great stuff all. Very inspirational. Good luck on all your builds. I know I need some motivation myself to get out and work on my Dart again. She has been a good old girl that deserves some TLC.

Mike, you're car would look great with any color interior but if you're veering away from original a dark tan like an old baseball glove would be sweet.

Hey Matt. I've had the interior done for the car for 15 years. It's F8/metallic green inside. Other the wheels/tires, shifter, and gas pedal....I want it to look original[like my mom had it].

Merry Christmas!!
