Hi Guys and Gals,

I've been lurking a while, thought I would step out into the light.  I am the lucky owner of a 1970 Challenger T/A clone in FM3. 318, 6 pack, 4 speed.  My wife bought it for me for my birthday last year.  So far I have replaced the entire brake system, new fuel tank & lines,  all new wiring, all new suspension front and rear (except LCA's), new T/A exhaust (Accurate), and have dumped the old dented headers for 70 manifolds.  Have also done a bunch of cosmetic stuff.

Car runs great, although a little tough getting it into first & second at times.  I drive it most weekends, not very far or fast though as the tires are pretty old.  I have a set of Year One Rallye wheels, and will be getting a set of Nittos soon so I can venture out further & faster.

This site has been very helpful, thank you very much to those who take the time to post answers and information necessary to revive and keep these 50 year old marvels alive.

Regards,

GreenOnions
