Plans for the ride are get her done driver occasionally and take to a few shows....have tons of pics just didnt want to bore everybody.....from start to present state..
FE5 is the original color it has white stripe also correct. Bench seat auto very plain past that manual steering..auto..no ac...thumbwheel AM radio ...map light...bench seat....front disc of course ..added the rallye rims look so much better was hub caps can see the originals in some pics. Motor is the original but in progress so no pics yet...was considering putting six pack that I have on it. It's an all original intake and carbs from 70 TA Challenger ...open to thoughts on that....if I do will probably buy aftermarket heads to accomodate. This car had absolutely no rust I purchased this in 1990 and have had it garaged ever since...odometer reads 101025.
 
Here are some pics of the dash bezel and instrument panel...just got it completed thanks to Eddie and some much needed parts..Thanks!

They were galvanized, but if your car received the undercoating, there's usually some of it on both sides of the tank.
If you choose to leave it natural, coat it with a matte clear or it will rust, unless the factory galvanizing is still in good shape.

That car looks awesome, by the way......
