Street Challenger

Box literature doesn't state the year of this model. but these late 60's MOPARS are all gorgeous!
So, saying that, I'm kinda reluctant to try sectioning this, but I'll try a discrete one,
The 55 Chevy was 'fat' and  benefited quite a bit with a 1/4 " section.


The 2010 Challenger was 'fat' also. I had given it a pie cut section, which improved that also.


First step was to paint the engine to give it time to dry before messing with it.


Not planning to deviate much from a kit  assembly other than the sectioning. but, it HAS to be lowered some (Geezer's rule #1), so the front spindles were raised some.


The rear is a different challenge altogether. They made it very difficult to install lowering blocks. Being the astute perfectionist that I am, I finally just cut the ##*n springs !

Coming along nicely Clay. I'll be following

Your sectioning work is so well planned and completed, one can't tell WHY the finished products look so right, and so cool.

HELP SKIP !!!!
I seem to have this in the wrong category.
Meant for WIP road cars.

Done deal.

I am going to follow this like a blood hound.

Sounds like a plan.

If it don't fit push it in harder...if it still doesn't, get a saw!
I like how it comes in red plastic!

Hmmm..... never seen a chopped Challenger before, I'm watching.

Here is the Chop plan. The center  1/8 " section ,left in red here, is to be removed. I am not going to try to compromise the end sections and will make adjustment on the lower ends as needed.

What a great way to go about that Clay.

Can't wait to see this Clay!

Igor got busy with his Sawzall.



Can't hardly say that there's not much noticable difference. Gives Igor and I something to do, though, and it makes a kit assembly last longer.

Beautiful!

wow

I think the front end will benefit more and you will see more of a difference once you have that shaped Clay.
Looks like the front panel line of the door stayed flushed but you have your work cut out for the back one. It seems awfully close to the existing one when the time will come to scribe a new one.
You'll make it work I'm sure.

Clever and unusual section job. I would expect front and rear ends would hang low, but they don't! You can imagine what others would never! I'll enjoy this trip along your ground-scraper's path.

I've taken 1/8 " out of the interior tub.  For me, this almost never works out  as simple, easy, and straight forward as one thinks it should be. I usually eliminate the tub assembly and cobble the interior without one.
We'll see.

Just for your information, the kit is a 70 Challenger T/A.

Gotcha, the tub looks like it cut easily.

You'll get there Clay.

This is great fun to watch. Good luck with the tub.

Wow, love this! Can't wait to see more!
