I hear people say that a 72-74 challenger grill frowns, I think its BS. It looks more like a scowl to me. As far as trying to hide the frown with black out paint, how about not? Looks bad to me especially on a 72-74 challenger. If a challenger grill is frowning on the 72-74, then it must also be...

Yea, I still would be if I had more time to sit at this computer. I have been swapping motors in a Ramcharger 4WD so I have very been busy the last 4 days.

I get that all the time when I'm driving my 73 challenger and I say guess and they say Charger. Or people see the car at a light and pull up next to it and say..Nice Charger! I think if you painted a challenger orange and put a Dixie flag on the roof people would thinks the Dukes were in...

Roger that:icon_cool:

Its all about whether you use the inner sail panel inserts or not if its a 4 or 5 bow headliner. The roof its self is the same on 70-74 cuda\barracuda. I just did a 72 barracuda headliner and it was a 4 bow with inner sail panel inserts. I think the 70-71 uses the 5 bow headliner. I'm just going...

I used a plasma cutter to notch the front bumper bracket holes (3 each side on the 73) to move the front bumper in of my 73 challenger and eliminate the front bumper filler. On the rear bumper, I cut the rear bumper brackets with the plasma cutter and welded them back in such a way as to move...

I have a bunch of mopar seat track springs. I have seat tracks as well but not sure what they are out of.

I strongly disagree with you on this one. I think Chrysler rims look very good and are super reliable. I prefer the stock Chrysler wheels in all forms including the steel wheels with dog dish hub caps. If I'm in a street race, I trust the stock wheels to not come loose or alter the handling...

Well, like I said, I prefer them stock especially the body. Now the engine and drive-line thats another story however, If I change an engine, or upgrade a trans (a 4 speed is an upgrade IMO) I use mostly stock parts on the outside of the engine for stock appearance purposes. My thinking is to...

My vintage mopars never see rain so I guess we wil never know :)

Sweet, you can can run the V-cam :toothy10:

4 speed conversion to a 72 Barracuda..In the pictures below, the "hump" is under the correct 4 speed carpet..The "hump" is secured by screws here as well. Oh but look, this one has the pistol grip shifter...yay! I'm old school and I firmly believe real muscle cars have 3 pedals:icon_smile:

The "4 speed hump" they are referring to covers the hole you cut in the floor pan. It can be welded in or just screwed down in place with screws. I recently did a few 4 speed e car conversions and I just used screws to secure the "4 speed hump". the shifter mounts to the transmission. The...

Well, 11'' drums were standard on the cuda up to 1972 accoding to the data presented here. I guess most people around here opted for the disk brakes over the 11'' drums on the cuda because I have never seen one with 11'' drums front or rear but have learned in this disscussion, that they do...

Oh, one more thing, no not more boring tech talk..I will be doing a burn out video of the challenger at the rolling acres mall soon. I will post the video here :wave: edit.. I also will do one of my 72 Barracuda..Yes a Barracuda not a cuda. The Barracuda is only a 318 2v (4 speed OD) but I...

Yea, now I remember that. One again guys, thanks for the refresher course and I'm sure other members found the info useful as well. Regards modfly

Well, that pretty much spells it out. I see you guys are on the ball here. I'm impressed. Thanks for the info. Goes to show an old dog can learn or re-learn a thing or two! :sign13: The pictures I posted above were taken today 11-12-11 The car in the pictures above is a 73 Challenger with...
