1970 Dodge Challenger Restoration

 This website chronicles the trials and tribulations of my project Dodge Challenger. I've always enjoyed muscle cars and the distinct style of engineering associated with them. It was a time when raw power ruled and cars were simple enough for most people to work on. For my project I chose a 1970 Dodge Challenger. I've always liked Mopars and their commitment to performance. I was unable to afford an original 440 powered Challenger, so I figured I would build my own. The purpose of the project is to build the car effectively and cheaply by leveraging on the work that Dodge has already put into the design.

I'll post updates below on the progress.
