Brake kleen is definitely a recipe for disaster when welding. I usually wipe down the material I'm welding with acetone before gluing stuff together.

Challengers are hot, and comically easy to steal with just a usb cord, a random Chrysler key, and an app on your phone. Takes about 30 seconds if the vehicle is unlocked.

I guess the emission thing would be a knock for people in horrible states, but most states don't care about a car that old and it's emissions. I know here they don't. That said, I've sold cars...

Some updates. Floors are going in, and driver side inner wheel housing and quarter are getting patched up. You should never be able to tell someone was in there when it's done.

I was always under the assumption the 70 only had no bracing, and starting in 71 we saw the riveted steel plates on the edges. I suppose very early 71 cars could have a 70 hood?

Well, that just makes me sick. I sold my 73 BG on Saddle for a lot less than that, and I'd argue it was a better car.

A correct 70 TA hood is not cheap, probably at least $2000 for the hood, plus bodywork, paint and a new stripe. The 70 dash bezel is about $1000. The nose is easy enough to do, but between finding a...
