Title: 1970 R/T from Finland
Post by: Ratfish on August 30, 2017, 11:13:45 PM
- 70 N-code Challenger, lots of rust in typical places and crashed very long time a go, maybe 70´s? Came from Michigan, maybe someone remembers this car? Had a very unique custom hood, with a Ford side Windows!.

Crash damage was repaired very poorly and needs new front frame rails etc. Have a complete rust free front frame from ´71 Challenger and that should help to bring this rust bucket back to life. Original engine missing, so it will have a 512 cid mild stroker, 4spd and Dana 60....top banana w/ black vinyl roof and interior and black stripes originally and that´s how it will be again someday :finland:

Few pics....

 :welcome: aboard @Rusty R/T (https://forum.e-bodies.org/mlist/rusty-rt_886) from Germany!  :germany:

I, too, like your Challengers colour. All the best wishes for completing your car...4spd and Dana sound like a lot of fun!

BTW: thanks to all Finns for NOKIA mobile phones...a shame that this company couldn't defend from being bought by Microsoft and than being run down by full purpose. Those phone were so much better than anything else...6210, 6310, Communicator, E-series, N-series, just name it. Will use mine as long as technically possible!

Thanx for support! This needs a lots of work and time. Few pics more....and I know where is the sense with this project, but I felt so sad when I saw this this one. Really beated up one, but someday it will hit the streets again. Also a challenge(r) to myself

Another welcome from Ontario,  :canada: and good luck with the project. If it were me, I'd trim out the rocker stubs on that donor front end and graft the whole thing into the other one. That way you'll have all the factory welding except where you tie in the cowl and hinge pillars. Just my  :alan2cents:

Thanks!

And there is a little problem, car´s orginal rockers are also wasted  :)

Car will have a new AMD cowl and firewall. front frame rails, radiator support etc from donor car. Donor car´s rockers are solid.

i´ll post a another topic to restoration forum later.
