Nice RT !!!
I have always been a Cuda guy (Ive had 3 and still have my first one) but after buying a 74 Challenger the Challengers are growing on me - lol
Not sure if your paint question still applies, but I have had good luck with automotive grade (auto paint store) rattle can clear. I would recommend trying a hidden area by lightly scuffing (scotch brite) cleaning with a wax and grease remover and the apply the clear. A rattle can that has a...
If you are restoring a T/A or AAR and it's your VIN stamped on it and its in decent shape, I would guess it would be worth around $5k or more. A complete engine can bring more than $10k from what I have seen listed (don't know what they sold for). If I am buying or selling I usually look for...
I am pretty sure (99%) the T/A transmission was the exactly the same as the standard 340 (727) transmission, meaning the pan was the standard pan depth.
No problem, but its not my diagram - I borrowed it from B-Bodies only, but jumping the yellow wire was what I understood to be the fix (bypass)... I plan to try that with mine, since I also have a 74... my interlok was disabled before I got the car and I needed to understand the system to make...
I had to go look myself, because I have a 74 Challenger and have had issues similar to yours (none right now).
Here is more info from for B Bodies only;
74 charger identify this part?
This was a schematic they used (created), so I am not taking credit for this myself...
Hopefully this helps.
I bought a sheet metal nut insert that worked very well for items like the side mirrors mounted on the doors.
I recently replaced my tired chrome drivers mirror and added a passenger mirror with aftermarket painted mirrors using sheet metal nut inserts;
I know, I hate buying from Amazon, but...
If thats the only rust, I would fix it. Original is always better in my mind, but there are limits. A relatively flat spot like this should be repairable, but where there is visible rust there will be more hidden in my experience.
I like the 74 Rallye and since I added the the 360 the hood was next (after some color sanding) was done;
I did pick up some fender scoops/inserts and I also needed a passenger side mirror - so I like them body color - not installed yet, but the parts a ready;
They are kind of a pain to...
Still moving forward - I have been focusing on the rear since I never liked how the quarter turned out - this is much better. still needs a little color sanding and some paint work in front of the wheel opening, but I like this much better;
The tailights took some time to get the paint how I...
I know I am a few months behind, but Welcome to the site! I love looking at pics of project cars, it helps motivate me seeing what others are doing. Got any more pictures? I would like to see them!
The clear coat was a paint store rattle can as well, I sprayed it after the base coat kicked off - basically like it was another coat of color only on the heavy side. The idea was to get it to lay as smooth as possible without runs or dry patches.
I ended up using factory steel valve covers due...
