1970 Challenger T/A FY1 (Top Banana)

Is that the only car you have finished now ?

[Cuda Cody]

I have 2 E-Bodies that are finished really nice high level.  There's a 3rd that is all done with high end paint, engine is built and broke in (on the engine stand) and the Dana 60 rear end is done.  The seats and other small things are done for it and it's really close to starting to go back together, but waiting for the trans from Brewers before I start putting it together.  Just took the engine and trans out of a different one too for a refresh and should have it back together in a month or two so I can drive it this summer.  That one is not a full restoration and will just be a fun driver, but it looks good.  Might try to start one of the 71 Cuda's next.  But yet.  I have the 340 engine all built for one of them and ready to go back in.  But that's about all I've done for it.  Feel like I'm always tinkering with them.  Guess that's part of the fun.

I wish I could buy one of the 71 Cudas.....but I'm not in a position to buy another project for myself and you wouldn't sell one anyways....
How about some more pictures of your other finished car(s) ?

[Cuda Cody]

The 71's are not going anywhere.     But if something changes, I could not imagine a better guy to sell one of them to.  Once the sun comes out I'm going to get the cars out and take some photos.

The two 71' I have both need a lot of work.  Just project cars.  About the same amount of metal work needed on both.  What one would you rather have?

• 1971 FC7 340 w/ White interior
• Numbers matching engine
• Don't think the Auto trans matches
• Fender Tag
• Build Sheet

• 1971 GY3 340 w/ Black Interior
• Non Numbers Engine & Trans (date coded correctly)
• 4-Speed
• Factory Billboard
• Fender Tag
• No Buildsheet

Yellow one hands down  Loved it since the day you bought it....
Purple one is nice too, but I'm so done with FC7 cars right now... there's these... http://www.alangallantautomotiverestoration.com/PAST-RESTORATIONS.html and still three more to come

[anlauto]

Here's a better idea...send them both to me plus $40K and I'll give you back the purple one fully restored

[Cuda Cody]

You have no idea how tempting that sounds!!!!  YOU are the only one I would consider doing that with.

Seeing pictures of your yellow TA, I don't know if my work measures up....If you want something done right, you usually have to do it yourself...

You guys should go do a TV show together.

They would call it.."An Anal Cody"

Who makes that chassis dolly

[Cuda Cody]

@Stanleyracing  the chassis dolly is custom made to fit a Challenger body.  Just made it out of extra metal I had in the shop.

Cody,

Seeing these pictures and how beautiful your T/A is giving inspiration.

I need to start working on my R/T and in time it would look just as nice. Although, I have more sheet metal work than you did but with all the new reproduction stuff out there it should come out very nice. I just need to take my time.

I had to custom mix the Yellow to get it perfect.  The stock DCC Concept PPG FY1 mix is a perfect match at about 1.5 coats, but when you go to 2 or 3 coats it muds up.  So I adjusted it slightly so that at 3 to 4 coats it looks like it's factory correct and you don't have to risk tiger stripes or blotching it.
