    Rear End Behind Modern Hemi

    So I may be leaning towards putting one of the 6.1 Hemi's in my Challenger. It is going to be mated up to a 727 transmission. My question is, what would be a good rear end gear (ratio) to put behind the new Hemi? Any recommendations that you guys who have already made this swap have? Or just...

    Converting from 2 Speed to 3 Speed Wipers

    I believe my 72 Challenger wiper motor is a 2-speed motor. The motor sticks straight out vs. being turned to the side like I believe the 3-speed motors are turned. My question is can I simply get a 3-speed wiper motor to install in my car and if so what modifications might need to be made? I am...

    Repair Fiberglass Header Panel on 72 Challenger

    I was wondering if anyone has any experience with personally repairing the fiberglass header panel that surrounds the headlights on the 72+ Challenger? If so, I would appreciate any tips or tricks with regards to making this repair. It will be tricky because it is focused on the two outside...

    What is this Electrical Harness For?

    Can someone tell me what this electrical harness that comes out of the passenger side frame rail in the engine bay goes to? Starting to strip my car getting ready for body work and want to make sure I know what everything goes to for later.

    Chrysler Carlisle

    Just wondering who on here will be going to Carlisle with their E-body in a couple of weeks? I will be up there with my Dart and on the look out for some Challenger parts as well.

    Tail Lamp Light Panel Brackets

    Can someone clarify for me where exactly these brackets go on the rear of a 72 Challenger? I looked in the trunk area of my car and for the life of me I do not see any brackets that resemble these. Are they not present on all models?

    Challenger Hellcat on the Dyno

    Got to see a Hellcat on a mobile dyno at a car show this weekend. I was pretty impressed that it managed to put up 659 HP at the rear wheel and 643 lbs/ft of torque. Owner was very happy. On a more amusing note, the Hellcat was followed by this ProCharged Z06 Corvette. Owner was bragging that...

    Fender Tag Question on 71 Cuda

    A shop that a friend of mine works in just took in a 71 Cuda as a project. The car was originally Dark Gold with a White vinyl top. Presumably the car still has the original paint. The fender tag verifies the color. However, there is one strange thing. The fender tag is blue. Is this something...

    FOR SALE 1972 Challenger Project

    I recently purchased this 1972 Dodge Challenger as a project, but sadly unforeseen family circumstances require me to cut it loose before I really get started. The car is in pretty solid shape. However, the taillight panel needs to be replaced as does the passenger side quarter panel, trunk...

    Removing Headliner Bows

    Can anyone tell me if there is a trick to unhooking the headliner bows from mounting holes on each side of the car? I am working on pulling the headliner out of the car, and the bows are pretty tight and I don't want to risk bending them while freeing the from the car. Would appreciate any...

    What is this Part?

    I am cleaning out all of the miscellaneous parts that were piled in my Challenger project and I came upon this part under a bunch of stuff. Anyone have any idea what it is? I thought maybe a fuel filler neck, but that doesn't appear to make sense with a cap on one end and a bunch of tubes coming...

    Removing Tail Panel

    So as I am beginning to remove the damaged body sections on the back of this car, I have a number of questions. The most important is based on these couple of pictures, where should I be looking for the spot welds that hold the tail panel on? I noticed in looking for replacement parts, there is...

    Windshield Removal

    I am beginning the process of disassembling my car. I am getting ready to take the windshield out to make it easier to get to the dash. I am wondering if anyone has any advice or tips on the best way to free the glass from the windshield seal to pull it up? Thanks.

    For Sale: 70-74 Challenger Hood

    I am selling the standard (flat) hood that came on my 72 Challenger. I am going to be using an R/T style hood for this project. Hood appears to be in great shape. No apparent dents. The top of the hood is mostly faded paint. Not rusted despite the color in the first picture. Will not include the...

    WTB 72 Challenger Headlight Surround

    I am not exactly sure what you call this part. It is the front section that surrounds the headlights. The one on my car appears to be fiberglass and the previous owner managed to hit both ends and tear the fiberglass up. Really not sure if it is easier to repair this or find a clean replacement...

    WTB 72 Challenger Tail Lamp Panel

    This section on my new project is torn up pretty good. Thinking it would be easier to just replace this panel if I can find one in solid shape. Bending this back out might be tough to get straight. Thanks.

    My First E-Body Project

    After being over on FABO for awhile, I thought I would come over to FEBO and say hello. I went and picked up my next project today--a 1972 Challenger. Haven't decoded the fender tag yet to see what all it actually was, but it will not be going back stock anyway. Body needs a fair amount of work...
