Hi All!
I just joined and thought I would post an intro.
I purchased a mid-life crisis '70 Challenger R/T last August and have had in in a restoration shop way up here in NH since. The resto is a frame off although we did not blast the original undercoating which was in good shape. The car is a NH car that was used for racing only, NO winter driving. We only had to replace the bottom 6 inches of the quarters and trunk skirts everything else is original metal.
The car is a 383 4 speed (JS23NOB) but has a 426 wedge when I purchased (yes I did say WEDGE). So we found a date coded 383 01/70 and had it rebuilt with a little cam, MOPRA high rise manifold, TTI ceramic headers and Edlebrock 750 CFM carb - 360 HP @ 5,000rpm on initial pulls.
Tere is a lot more to tell about this car and I have documented the resto project here:

I had the car back this weekend for a test drive. It's back at the restoration shop for a few minor things. Back in my possession on Saturday AM!
