New E-body'er

Hello everyone. I wanted to introduce myself as a recent mopar convert. I picked up a '73 Challenger that needs a LOT of attention (which I intend to provide).

If anyone is interested, I uploaded pictures of it to Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/4983826...7624914828000/ .

I'd be exceptionally appreciative of anyone who takes a look at my photos and has any comments / advice. I've done just about every mechanical task, but this project will be my first attempt at auto body and paint.

I've already learned a lot from the threads in this forum. Thanks!

-Joe

Thanks.

The 318 is the original engine, so my conscience will not let me junk or sell it. I will probably end up storing it indefinitely. In a way I kind of wish it wasn't the #'s matching engine so I could get it out of my garage!

Nice solid base to work with, looks like the drivers door has been replaced (holes for trim), and the vinyl top has also been removed, gonna replace it? Floors look quite solid.

keep us posted and welcome to the Forum!
