    advice on upcoming body work

    Thanks for the feedback! I have got some mixed signals, some people say the new stuff is good and others say the repop stuff is "thinner" than the old stuff. Good to know you are having good luck with repop.

    advice on upcoming body work

    I am wondering if it's better to find old metal, or to get re-pop stuff like this: Front Fender - LH - 72-74 Challenger I'm going to need both fenders, front bumper, bumper brackets and possibly a bit more.

    rearview mirror question

    I have a 72 challenger that I use as a street strip car. It runs high 11's in the 1/4 (best ever 11.73) but often I am footbraking in the transbrake class running 1/8 mile (7.50's, 7.60's.) I am one of the slowest cars in no box transbrake class, so having a useful rearview mirror would be very...

    SCREW for slap stick "T" shifter

    Hi guys, I run a '72 Challenger with a 408 stroker and 727 trans. I am running the factory slap stick shifter but I somehow lost the screw that holds the plastic shifter handle on. I have never paid much attention to the specifics of the screw other than the fact that it's a countersink...
