Most interesting.
Is this the desired hood?

For some reason I never associated the Challenger with Trans Am racing

that is it...

If I recall, Chrysler was a bit late to the party but they did field a couple of cars toward the end

Looking g00d.

So how much are you planning on selling it for?  Just wondering if you will actually profit anything after all the money you seem to spending on paint.

[Steve Wood]

At this point I am not selling it..but, there is no way in hell, that I could ever get out of it what I have put into it....not even close.  I obviously am no wheeler-dealer candidate

Might as well start saving for a modern hemi drivetrain

Love it!  If you ever decide to part with it, please let me know...would love to have one of those.

I believe you can go to a Mecum auction and buy a restored/rebuilt car for far less than you can build one yourself these days...I have been watching some beautiful cars go for way less than what was put into them

Yeah, but something to be said for getting one whose history you get to watch unfold.  My neighbor has one that's in pieces sitting at a shop waiting to be "restored"...it's been there for years, lol.  The guy had thousands of dollars in OEM replacement parts sitting in his storage area...which was leveled by a level 4 tornado what came through here about 5 years ago.

damn!  My Camaro sat in the Houston paint shop for several years until I finally threatened violence

Nice work Steve!

[Scoobum]

Steve, with all the rust...where did the car spend most of its life?

[Steve Wood]

got me...but, that seems pretty typical of the old mopars

Great job Steve..!!! I own a collision repair shop here and have been in the business for 25 years now so i know how much work has gone in to what you have done already and yes..(Paint "IS" Expensive) Keep up the good work... My hats off to you.
