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:
