Not much of an update, we got out fairly regularly before lockdown.
ive managed to source a TA rear Duck Tail spoiler , had to buy a complete kit, front and rear, so ive at least got the front two as spares!
very very nice quality, still sitting in its box under one of the spare beds!
Also had a cheapy monster tach sent over, dont think i'l bother with that, its a tad to large! something else in the miscellaneous parts bin! lol
got some good later pics, but now using a new laptop and hav'nt got around to transferring them for the old one !

Spoilers should finish 'her' off nicely
(I dont like calling cars 'her' but the sweary filter turned 'it' into Bananarama cos of the finish before it )

Re: 71 340 RT Challenge Driveway resto........
Yeah know what ya mean!
to be honest been putting it off ! hard to get motivated with the dark cold days, C19 has got everyone down/worried , hopefully give it a month or two , we may step back into the light, got plenty to do, but overall really pleased with the car, every body loves it, yeah pleased.............
I seriously looked around for another car, but gave up, just over priced pooh, plus im still waiting for a knee replacement, should have gone in the end of January, but C19 has done that! now looking May/June............... now given driving will be a problem im so glad the Dodge's a slusher!
Wheels and tyres next month! ............... been putting them off as i thought it would be prudent while looking for a motor, a few more quid in my pocket, but dont need to worry now, waiting for some 8x15's to come in, i hoping these will fit all round, ????

No inner parts with this wing, 4 fixings through the body, and 4 screws , 2 each end, as the cars a RT the trunk inside is pre cut for this spoiler
and the inner holes are cut for a Go wing, which does have inner supports,
As its a light glass copy, its quite heavy so now the trunk wont stay up, so i'l have to increase the tension on the trunk torsion bar, scary job!

My trunk lid just stays up with the spoiler on it, but any breeze and it shuts very quickly.

Finally got my rims sorted, stayed old school , 8x15's all round, 235's front 245's rear, and a 8x15 with a 225 as my spare,
Just out of interest any body know what my 6x14 rally's and used BFG's would be worth? complete with nice centres, beauty rings and nuts,
Was going to restore them but in running out of room!
