Obviously Rock Auto will be the cheapest, but if I had to buy one, I'd go with Year One as they are more likely to stand behind the thing if it messes up. I'm pretty sure they are all made in China! (Hope that changes soon!)

Welcome to FEBO from the desert! Very nice car! I too would recommend torque boxes (standard on convertibles, Hemis and 440 6-packs) and weld-in subframe connectors! 😁

Since different factories did things differently, to be perfectly factory correct, you need to ensure you're using what was done at either the Los Angeles plant (70 only) or the Hamtramck plant. I love the list! It will be a great reference source! Thank you for putting it together!

Hayden 2947 will work for a small block or a big block. 🙂

Yes.

Year One has aluminum and plastic. They have a really good reputation: https://www.yearone.com/Catalog/challenger.cuda/body/louvers

Welcome to FEBO from the desert! Pics would be a plus!

The majority here including me will chose AMD if you can't find an original. If I remember correctly, there's three different trunk lids for 1970 Barracudas!

Besides the factory shop manual, also get this. https://shop.mmcdetroit.com/product/dodge-and-plymouth-e-body-challenger-and-barracuda-1970-74-reference-manual-restoration-and-judging-jme-1-1/ And this...

Welcome to FEBO from the desert! You've come to the right place as these folks are top notch and know their E-Bodies! Looks like your friend has a good base to start with!

Find a shop with an old guy 60+ if you can. Buy him a twelve pack of fifth of his favorite brand and you'll be amazed what he can do for you!

70 Challengers had two bars for the trunk. 70 was unique in a lot of body parts. If the 71 has two bars your golden.

Welcome to FEBO from the desert! It could be a slant 6 Western Sport Special! Code A91. 6.4 hemi or 440 is good! ADM sheet metal is closest to OEM. They make a paint that simulates a vinyl top.

There are no clamps better! PM Matt and get a better deal!

My son bought two (long story) 2015 Dodge Challenger Scat Packs! His current one is the better of the two! And yes, he wants my 70 Challenger, 71 Barracuda and 64 Imperial! What more could a father ask for? Your Dad is so proud of you!!
