70 Challenger Restomod begins

[SFEbody]

Traded for this 70 Challenger that started life as a slant/six. Doing a 6.4 with QA1 and Wilwood on all 4 shoes. Other than that the thought is completely stock look sleeper. Will be needing a ton of parts from fasteners to small components. I posted on WTB so if you have things to sell or GIVE AWAY....lol hit me up please

Thanks.

@AUSTA You do if you use the 8HP70, I am going to use a 727 so not this time

Is it going to be a stick or automatic

Hey Mopar family,. a few more updates. Been working on the interior, have my custom seat frame done and did a test fit before we add the upholstery. The seats will have a slightly lower back, will recline fully and bolsters that should be comfy in the seat and back. The color is pretty cool its a Ferrari Beige Tradizione leather. Will be doing dash, seats, door panels and kick panels in the leather. Dash should be complete next week some time. then I can finish the wiring and fire the beast up.... stay tuned. BTW the finished seat is the concept of what I am going for.
