COMPLETE Restoration '1974 Dodge Challenger - update

I did a COMPLETE 100 point restoration on this 74 Challenger a while back - still stands up!

It was actually WORSE than this:



In the end I went through and detailed the entire engine bay, including a MOPAR Battery cover, painted the brake booster with Eastwood's Cadmium Brake Booster Combo, original style spring clamps, right down to the ignition modules on the firewall and charcoal cannister on the rad support!

This is what happens when only the top side is "restored"


Above: even with the fender off, it didn't look that bad..

Below: A little wrinkle on the bumper filler


Right side looked clean


But a look underneath reveals all the sins of neglect..







Engine and trans had been leaking for a while!
