Bought the Challenger in October 2018. It is original except for a few small details.
The car is nearly complete disassembled and i have started with the body work.

You will be glad you put in the stiffeners.  Mine work great on my 70 Challenger.  :wave:

Yesterday evening right rear quarter prepared for filler.
Now the eyes are focused on the door on the right.
After that work is completed the engine will be removed to prepare the engine compartment.

Where did you get the stiffeners?

US Car Tool?

Just wondering who else produces them.

Thanks

Regarding the color i am not sure if i will go with the original color ( sublime green) or an other color.

The stiffeners i have from US car tool.

You sure about that? Sublime was not an available color in 73.

This is a page I found awhile back for a good reference on paint colors and years. I seem to enjoy looking at it from time to time, not just for confirmation but to drool.

Then i was wrong regarding the name of the color.

Over the weekend i have fixed the right hand door handle molding.

Now finishing the right door with sanding and filler then the engine will be removed.

What a great chart.
Question: there is a picture of a 73/4 TX9 car with chrome sill trim. Was that an atcual option for those years or would it have been added by someone? I'm thinking it's the later.
