Hi, I have a 1974 challenger that has seen better days. It originally was blue, got side swiped or t boned, and the driver side door was replaced with a 71 purple (that caused a headache when buying parts for window rollers) and then they spray painted the whole car matte black. I bought it in 2016, found out it was a 318 and not a 340. I replaced the 2 barrel intake with a 4 barrel and edelbrock carb, and Lokar kickdown cable. I replaced the exhaust manifold with hooker headers, flow master 40s and an x pipe.

The current project I have is to fix the wiper motors and get the AC working. None of the dash controls work, and the wiring looks pretty abysmal. After a really brutal quote from a local shop, I've decided to source the parts and do the work on my own.

Some may disagree, but a paint job you can touch up with a rattle can, can feel pretty liberating, when driving it around and not stressing about a pricey show-quality paint job. I kind of still looks the same from the driver's vantage point. that said, I do enjoy the way the street lights reflect off the shiny rally (barracuda) hood. I hope you continue to enjoy driving your vintage car.
 
Welcome to the show. You have a couple of great parts on the lower front valance. Don't lose that trim or the plastic thing (don't know the correct term) above it. Those original ones are "hens teeth".
