Nice project. I like it. My red 70 Challenger is a 383 R/T S.E. also.

Progressed more down the track. Stripped down the interior and removed the engine and driveline and have stripped off all the paint on the body and starting a few rust repairs.
The body is pretty good and the floors are great

Nice work on a great car! Did you import it or was it already in country?

A collector brought it into australia in 2010 and stored it with his collection of over 20 Challengers in his factory . i got lucky last year when he said he might sell the RTSE ,so i bought the car and i am hoping for paint to be finished about August or early September. Good painters are always busy and you got to wait for a slot. I am doing all the bodywork and mechanical also.
The 383 has it's original holley carb on it and i got the engine running soon as i got the car and it runs well. Has power steering and power disc brakes , rear window defrost and a 3.23 shure grip and original factory pistol grip shifter. I am using Glasurit paint system on this car. This is a pic of my last car i did and sold last year 70 RT 440 4 speed , Gator grain roof
