Default Re: Hemi Challenger progress

Charley,

Looks to be complete lack of factory undercoating in the front fender wells. Lower control arms are completly cosmolined, the arms were dipped by the manufacturer up to about before the date coded rivet. If you want to email me more detailed pics I'd be happy to offer my input.

The R/T and T/A grilles were painted approximately semi-flat black (including the "egg-crate" center), and Base and SE models were Argent Silver... the picture looks spot-on to me...

That is not true. No 70 Challenger Grille "eggcrate center" ever left the factory black. Many people have painted them black incorrectly but it is not factory.

The egg crates are anodized aluminum for all 1970 Challenger models - no paint.

Surrounds were black on R/T, R/T SE & T/A.

I think SE & Challenger base model surrounds were argent or astrotone.
