Adami just noticed this will be posted in Abodys i couldn't figure out how to move to Ebodys. Feel free to relocate.
Sorry for the goof.

Here's some photos and info on my 72 Challenger
This is over a course of 2 plus years.
Never liked the rims and tires on pic.1. Bought a new set of Cragars and tires
Fronts are BF Goodrich rears are Nittos. Tires came from Diamond tire.
Had the side walls buffed out. Saved $50 per tire and i like the look.
Never cared for hose covernings.Removend and replaced all hoses.
Installed new MSD unit, Eddy Airgap and new Holley 670 street avenger.
Old set up was Offenhauser with a butcherd Eddy 750,
What a freakong difference ......
I gutted the interior took all the surface rust to bare metal and POR-15 the whole inside and trunk as well. Word of caution this stuff ODERLESS FUMES. Wear a good resporator. It will knock you for a loop and a half.
Found that out the hard way on a 3 min touch up.. Never again!
While i took out the dash to replace it as well as the instrument panel. When i saw all that 40 yr old wire. Its history. Gutted all the wire and had the car completely rewired with a moderen fuse box. MSD now is under dash and all other wire has been rerouted from engine bay.
Needless to say the heater core and box has been put into storage.
I'm old school,i converted the power steering to manual with a Bourgenson unit. Love it.Power brakes will be history when brakes are replaced. Will not convert rears over to disk.
Motor is 30 over with a 4in arm. Cam is a purple 508,Eddy heads,4sp and 355 suregrip.`

My second car was a 71 challenger, never get tired of looking at them.
 
Real Nice, I had a 72 & 73 Cuda. The 72 was a #'s matching 340 and I put a complete new 6-Pack setup on it. These days I like the Challengers just a bit better But I Miss My E-Bodies. I can look at pictures of E-bodies's all say long.
 
I wanted one ever since the first Vanishing Point movie. Well worth the wait.
