*****PLEASE HELP***** I'm in search of a Donor 1970-1974 challenger metal parts car. I have a 1970 R/T FC7 Highly optioned 440 A/C Challenger that I'm starting the process to bring her back to life. A lot of people wouldn't attempt such a feat. the car sat for 30+ years in Texas with the front and rear windows rusted out due to the vinyl top. I believe The car deserves a second chance at life. It's got a lot of rust. There's just enough rust on almost every piece of metal on the car that most would consider replacing the entire panel. I do not want to just re-body the car. I want to keep as much original DNA as humanly possible by using small patches from an original 70's Challenger. Mainly around the front and rear windows. The roof including the front and rear inner roof supports are in bad shape or just gone, the inner roof side support rails are fine... Most of the inside structure and supports are fine, from the firewall to the front bumper is great except for the upper cowl and lower cowl hinges are rusted. It has rusted through where the firewall and floorboard meet at the flange (a couple spots 2" by 10" long across the flange), floorboards/entire trunk/quarter panels/all frame rails all have enough rust to be replaced. What can not be repaired by using 70 donor metal will force me to use AMD metal. It sounds worse than it really is but in the end I believe that there will be enough original DNA (metal) to call it a 70 R/T. I'm looking for your help in finding a solid donor car hopefully from someone who is more interested in helping a stranger save a great R/T than getting rich. I do have money to pay for the donor car don't get me wrong, I'm just asking you to not beat me up too bad on the price. I just need a little help in getting the much needed 1970 original metal. What I'm really in need of most is the entire Roof and all supports, complete firewall with upper cowl or just the upper cowl w/ hinge supports and brackets and the lower part of the firewall down to the flange where it meets up to the floor pan. Also the inner and outer door hinge panels (both sides). The whole donor car from the fire wall to the rear bumper would be the best but I'll take what I can get.
