Hi everyone, name is Mike and I just bought a 72 Challenger and cant wait to get started. It is pretty rough underneath. No trunk, no rear floor and rear frame rails are history. It did come with a 383 though so I'm happy.

PICTURES!

Thats what it looks like. Some sort of filler. Probably 1/4" thick in places.

Most likely keep it a street car. Previous owner wanted to turn it into a drag car and welded a large bar in to mount the rear suspension. That will have to go. I like the green, and my wife wants it to be orange. Her excuse is I already own a 71 Monte Carlo so this is her car. :)
