Thanks for finding that post -
Im starting to see what you mean about the hood support latch with top brackets to fender.
I noticed a couple other pictures in that post showing a large gap between the bumper and grille? maybe its just out and not pushed in of that picture?
This now begging...
you know I should know these details since I once had a 70 challenger -
Its been many years ago... also only had her for couple years doing
maybe 1 or 2 oil changes. ( NOT PAYING ATTENTION AT THE TIME ABOUT
THE FRONT GRILLE ect. ect.... lol )
Question - is there a header panel for 70...
72 Challenger to a 70 front Grille ?
Just asking what's envolved?
I'm familiar with Cuda -
never working on Challenger body panel's -
1) other than having a 70 Grille -
2) are the headlight buckets the same?
3) Header panel change needed?
4) any brackets or bolts needed?
Interesting - a friend had a round alarm key lock in the side of his front fender.
I had a toggle Kill switch under the dash ( secondary live wire for the ignition ) splice cut
at the bottom column.
well kinda Factory Part - just not from the factory installed -
in a 70 cuda I had in the back seat, drivers side, mounted on the upper floor pan
just under the rear seat. Had a trunk/hood latch. Pull to unlock the latch of the rear trunk Lid.
It did have a key type lock in the tail panel -...
I have these Disk I used to wire my 5.7 Hemi engine in my cuda -
All the info needed to install your own wiring.
The Dodge Ram Disk was copied from Mopar back in 2006 ( the motor I had came from a New Ram }
The other Actual Mopar Disk Service + Diagnostic Manuals have all the info needed...
Man I feel your pain... been there, got burned - found out the hard way too.
Finding the right shop usually gets down to trust - most are full of B.S. with you finding out they are like a Salesman - going after the down payment!
25+ years ago - with a few bad experiences - is what got me into...
Very nice find! Not so rough - Ive had way worse. You have what looks like a good foundation mostly assembled. A perfect well optioned project to get excited and work on!
She does have the look! you may want to give a call -

I agree with the others - as much as something may look good, you got to have a
gut feeling about things. Take a step back to relook at what you think you want to get into.
If you have the time - check this Charger out...
Xcudame - I will take that compliment my Ebody friend!
Brothers from a different mother perhaps 😀

my father was a Navy man ...
