1971 Challenger 340 RT

[440six]

I found a new NOS trunklid that did not have the rear wing cutouts. We cut all the extra holes duplicating my old lid. Then drilled the 4 top holes and test fitted the wing.

Here's some update pixs, all replacement body parts are installed. Had to replace the rear spring front hanger brackets. Goodmark just started reproducing them.

Nice ride! I like the first pics of it coming apart. Amazing to me how many people forget that everything can come out through the bottom. Just a few quick questions. Who was the source for most body parts? How did they fit? Looking at AMD for the necessary pieces on mine and I've heard good and bad.

I used Goodmark fenders, Quarters, floor and trunk pans, fender skirts, frame rails and hood. I got the door skins from AMD. The bodyman was doing another challenger as well. They used all AMD parts and said they fit alot better.

Thanks for the feedback. Didn't want to hijack the thread, just curious. This is some nice work going into your car. Love seeing it come together. Thanks for sharing with us.

Working on the motor, getting it pieced together. Making sure we have everything.
