I'm 16 years and 4 iterations of my 70 Challenger convert but don't generally do forums. Did FABO for awhile as my father/son Demon project went together but turned out mostly so my son could show his friends!

In a good spot with the car projects so thought I would lurk with the e-body group.

From my about me:
"Built my first Mopar engine, a 325 Dodge Red Ram at age 15. My neighbor returned from Vietnam the next year and bought a new 68 Charger R/T. I wrenched carb, manifold, cam, headers, shift kit, and more on the 440 and 727 as my neighbor and his war buddies drank beer and watched. Got ASE certified in the first class (1972) and went into the USAF to learn electronics.
As life went on I never forgot about Mopars and the 70 Challenger in particular. When I had a chance at a 70 convert in 2005 I bought it instantly and now in its 3rd re-imagining, it is a stunning Hemi resto-mod.

Welcome!
Wow! Super-nice ride!
I feel your enthusiasm.
I got the MOPAR bug from a friend in HS that had a 70 Dart Swinger 340.
My first time in the Swinger when he really hit it was all she wrote for me.
lots of great folks on here with a lot of enthusiasm and knowledge of the E-ticket cars!

I put up a couple projects in My Photo Garage; Halo headlamps and Wilwood e-puck P-brake.
Covid last 2 years had me tearing into about everything on the car. I will post electrical this weekend.
