Challenger T/A Wall Art

[benlavigne]

This is from Nick's T/A, which you might have seen on his YouTube videos...
A friend has bought it and is restoring it, he used new fenders and was going to throw this away!
I got it for the horizontal part where the hood pin is attached, as my car has 72-up fenders with the notch and I might correct that one day. It's actually nice enough to hang on the wall, Once I do some garage cleanup... along with my beat-up Superbird nose... Anyone else has car pieces as wall art?

  Is that the original fender?

Did someone say wall art?

I think so, I'll see if I can find date codes... Wheelwell lip looks normal, weren't T/A"s rolled like Hemi's?

That's not an original T/A stripe I don't think

"rolled" T/A & AAR fenders are out there, but I don't think they are the "norm"

if you have late '71 fenders with the "NOTCH" on your painted car, it would be easier to fabricate and weld a patch & refinish just that area w/o dealing with a color match on the exterior

I think the original stripe was taped over and repainted around...

It would probably be easier, indeed. Would have been even easier to do it at the same time the previous owner modified the side markers openings from 72-74 to 70-71... only went for the obvious I guess...
