    Restoration back to a good driver.

    Nice! Another 1st week of LA production C0E (mine is BH23C0E100322) Slanty. Another member also had a JH23C0E just a couple hundred #s higher than mine, owned it since '73 but recently sold it (still has its slant like mine). You've done some fine work to this one

    71 Challenger 3D printed designs

    It was a fun project, I was just being a cheap ass about buying a metal set (they are nearly 100% correct in all dimensions, only the very top center button isn't correct, but it's easy enough to add the indent), but after dialing everything in and doing all the post process work, it just ended...

    71 Challenger 3D printed designs

    Here's a link to the 70/71 rally wheel center caps. It's really not worth the time and effort to print them versus buying a real metal set unless you want to shave off 1 lb per wheel, but it was a fun project. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7098809

    FOR SALE A true factory-reference, investment-grade 1970 Plymouth Barracuda – numbers-matching, California survivor

    Based on all the reading and the photos, this is nowhere near a survivor and the prior owner(s) did a lot of modifications. I've never seen a Dana rear end on a factory 318 car, that absolutely makes no sense. Having the 440 call outs makes me believe that a prior owner had a 440 in it and...

    well optioned '71

    @Cuda Hunter for the fender tag

    well optioned '71

    Not mine (not my pics either). I absolutely love everything about this '71 and it's very full fender tag of options. It was born within a couple days of me. This is also the first GB2 paint I've ran across on a '71. Very unique build, I can't wait to see someone restore it (maybe you all have...

    AC restoration or vintage air?

    If you go the Vintage Air route, be aware that you need to remove your dash for proper mounting of the box - the rear mounting bracket requires 2 holes drilled and the firewall requires 2 new holes for the front bracket. The kit uses a new control mechanism that mounts where your original...

    70 ebody am fm radio question

    I would say it's a step above the infancy stage, more like in its teenage phase. When I bought my first printer in December of 2024, it was printing stellar prints out of the box five times better than what we see above. Since then I fine-tuned it a little bit more for better quality. The...

    70 ebody am fm radio question

    great design, that's what I'm talking about!! too bad they printed it like ass though. those layer lines and the print quality sucks. this is exactly what I was talking about though - not bad to get the initial design work knocked out, but the final model needs some tweaks/adjustments to 'get...

    70 ebody am fm radio question

    Lots of variables depending on how much has to be done. For instance, if I had an STL file ready to print, it would be @ $60-100 depending on how many hours to print and post-process. Ideally you'd find someone more local (easier to work with for test fitments and finish without a lot of back...

    70 ebody am fm radio question

    Yes, all that could be done. You could have yours scanned if you can find a local and modify it using standard CAD software or a straight new redesign with proper measurements. The differences from what I can tell would be adjusting the top/bottom frame line to accommodate the lettering, a...

    70 ebody am fm radio question

    Since it will be tough to source a faceplate, I'd just 3d print a replacement

    Did they make any 70 Challengers with a 383 HP non R/T car

    That's the first time I've ever seen Y02, pretty cool

    In need of a measurement

    I measure 21 inches from top of the arch to the concrete with 14 inch tires

    Interior Paint

    My '70 EB5/EB5, the original interior was *all* B5. When restoring it, I used Herbs for the dash pad and it was a pretty spot on match. I had my dash frame and interior trim powder coated though, the match is pretty close. Herb's Parts: HERBS PARTS INTERIOR PAINT, Interior Paint, PAINT Edit: I...

    Build Sheets

    I found a sheet in the back seat bottom of my LA built '70 BH, B5/B5 .... for another BH about a hundred #s off mine in W1/B5 (sounds like a cool combination with a white exterior and bright blue interior). Since they are both Slant six cars it's doubtful that anybody's looking for the sheet...

    reproduction fender tags

    This is exactly it. Experience and having multiple examples is part of the key, because different plants did things slightly differently and even variations from year to year. Having the build sheet you can get most of the way there, but with variations you may still not get 100%. Out of all the...

    reproduction fender tags

    I'm still incredulous that somebody stole the memorial plaque, what kind of asshole does that? Seriously, who in their right mind would steal a plaque memorializing your son, it just blows my mind the lack of empathy these days. I'm almost back up and running, I finally found a couple of...
