opinions on a build

[res1vw21]

Howdy all
So I have a '70 challenger shell, (rusty all over) and am thinking on how I want to build her. Being a body man who restores mopars I know exactly what it would take to make this car nice again, but thats NOT how I want to build this one!!!

I just recently figured out how to get a title so I decided what the heck lets throw something together that is fun and if it get damaged who cares!

Obviously safety is paramount but I am thinking an 80's look would be killer.

so here is what I am thinking

DP90 flat black
flip shackles - sitten high in back
8 3/4 with 4:10s
440 slightly built but with 80's performance parts
A833
slots all the way around or just slots in back with steeies in front
No interior
2 buckets with harnesses
roll cage? maybe....
subframe connectors
cracked dash with aftermarket old school gauges like sunpros or something
Disk brakes up front
stiffen up the chassis a lot
hand made 1/4 patches, I am a body man so they would look great just be cheaper then ordering 1/4s
old light lenses
pitted chrome on bumpers or painted bumpers....

I think you guys get the idea

What do you think? what would you do differently?

Keep in mind I might be getting a convert '70 challenger /6 and I would be doing a very nice resto on that one
This hard top is simply a fun car...

I noticed that, too.

Someone has to have an opinion on this!

 

[chasduster]

He should have posted the same thread title thats on A-bodies, thats what he is trying to do isn't he, that would spark some interest...

Well, it wouldn't be my cup "O" tea but it's your car, you should build it how you want.

And so it begins.

res1vw21, You should do whatever floats your boat, it's your car, do it the way you want. Just my 2 cents.

Which one? Demo-ing it or welcoming him to the club?

Not my cup of tea either but if I was gonna put the torch to it and play around I would make it a road warrior style car , super fast flat black and prepped for the apocolypse.
