New member with a 1973 Challenger

[Marlon L]

Hello everyone. I'm in the process of building a 1973 Challenger resto mod that I have owned for just over a year. The car is not numbers matching (currently has a 1971 340). My first car when I was 16 was a 1973 Duster and now almost 40 years later, owning another 1973 Mopar really takes me back. I'm not doing a full frame of, but pretty much everything is off the vehicle with the exception of interior which was in great condition. The car was originally B3 blue and then repainted Sub Lime over 20 years ago.
I have the bodywork 80% completed but still don't know for sure what color it will end up...lol.
Anyway, I look,forward to sharing and learning more.

Thanks again for the add,
Marlon

Welcome to the forum -
I won't try to influence your color decision, but B3 is beautiful color on the Cuda's and Challenger's... LOL
(Please share pictures - I always enjoy looking at other projects while in progress!)

aboard. Very nice work space. Old school Western Cyclone wheels a period correct touch.
Nice looking car. A T/A hood would look great on this one.
