FINALLY, after 9 years of sitting, restoration resumes on my '73 Hemi Challenger!

[ProHemi572]

Just got my '73 to Jeff, owner @ 'Grave Robbers Sheet Metal' in Cumming, GA to disassemble, fabricate, reassemble, weld & do final fitting the right way this time with new AMD quarters, '70 tail panel, '70 front grill assembly, and T/A hood. I still want the car to mimic a '70 T/A, which was in my original plans over 15 years ago!. May use a 'raised' R/T hood, or prepare both hoods, to alternate the 'Look'. I will keep a running log of sequences, so everything doesn't get lost in time, lol!!! I've owned this baby almost 18 years & I'm it's 3rd owner. It started life in IN, then went to Ontario CA for 10 years & then to me in MI where it stayed until I retired in 2015 & relocated to SC. It WILL get done this time around!!!

I was a member sometime around 2010. Just looked around all the time. Got real busy working. For some reason I too had to work for a living. Just forgot the login info. Rejoined OCT 2018. There was someone that was raising a R/T. Was that yours? Keep us posted. Want to see how your challenger turns out.

The last time this car was on the dragstrip was in 2008. At that time, it had a 572 wedge motor w/727

The last time this car was at the dragstrip was 2008 & it ran a 572 wedge motor w/727 torqueflite, until a rod went thru the block. I originally bought it as a 'roller' & we started the restoration WAY back while in MI. The rear quarters came off, the car got media blasted & epoxy primered & had only a little progress since then, especially since I retired & moved south 10 years ago. Here's some PICS of the car, originally as I bought it 18 years ago & then stripped of every nut & bolt & body panel off it. I never imagined it would still be at this stage now, in 2025/2026, lol!!!
