Challenger Back Half

[ChrisUSCT]

This is a customer of ours, started out as a back half in progress. Someone had started the frame rails, and installed them not square to the body. The customer brought us the car and told us to fix it, we squared up the frame rails, installed much needed bracing through out, being that the car was not getting a cage. Installed a fuel cell, and fabricated all the interior panels. The wheel tubs were fabricated and attached to the factory quarter panel lip. The tires are 31" tall and 18.5 wide.

Looks pretty good so far. What are the plans for drivetrain, paint and interior!
Welcome to the site from the Motor City!

The drivetrain as of now is a 440 with dual carbs, a highrise intake, and a 4 speed. Horsepower is around the 500 mark. Not sure about the what he might have planned for the future. The customer is in the process of painting it black, as well as the interior black, not sure about the interior as far as the seats and such. Thanks for the welcome and compliments!

What happened to this project? I'm interessed to see more pictures since I'm in the building of my own. Thanks!

That member had 2 posts total from 2012. You might call USCT and ask for Chris, maybe he still works there.

Wow. Exceptional metal work on the Challenger.
Wonder what happened to the car?
