You have done a hell of a lot of work from the rust bucket shown in the original pictures!

time to do some dirt work...taking the k member off the car and taking completely apart. Paint and refinish all the parts...and weep everything movable. K Member and all susspension parts are going to be cleaned of and replaced...until the completed 440 4 speed assembly will be installed in the car...from the bottom. The body will fall on the assembled K members...as in producion cars

Looks like how just spent my weekend. Stripping down a K frame and front suspension for a rebuild.

Wow that paint looks amazing!  :perfect10:  In some pictures it looks red and in others orange??  Dash also looks great!  The re-assembly is the fun part.  Keep up the good work! :twothumbsup:

Beautiful Challenger, although I'm partial to Cuda's!
Is this what you bought the Shaker adapter for?

antonellomopar

Yessss....
I am in love with Cudas...as I have three, but was missing a 71 Challenger six pack four speed. My collection is now finished.
