Quintin Bros 1970 Challenger Build

[QuintinBrothers]

Hi everyone!

We are new to the forum and I have recently started an intro thread you may refer to. We are a 6,000sq ft Performance @ Restoration shop in Williston,VT. We have been open since 1999 and work on anything from mini-vans to land speed cars!


We are getting ready to start a build on a clients 1970 Challenger and figured this would be a good start as our first online build thread.

Just a quick rundown of the car:

1970 Dodge Challenger- Original 440-Auto-R/T car.

Currently the car is being used as a nice driver.. okay paint, some leaks, older restoration, but a overall not bad looking car to have some fun in.. after meeting and discussing many options with the owner, this is what we have decided that will be the fate of this car.

Car will be stripped, mounted on the rotisserie, media blasted and then will be getting all the needed body panels replaced... along the way, the car will be upgraded with full Hotchkis suspension, Wilwood disc brakes, BOSS wheels and more!

There will not be one bolt on this car left untouched.

I know this car isn't a full pro touring build, but we figured it would be a great start to show some of what we do here!


Here are some starting pictures of the challenger!

Cool build, what suspension will you be using?

[QuintinBrothers]

Cool build, what suspension will you be using?

This one will be getting hotchkis upgraded front suspension while still retaining the stock control arms. The rear will be getting their performance leaf spring set up as the client does not want to modify the body of the car for 4 link.

Welcome to the forum and I look forward to watching the build.

Welcome aboard, looking forward to following this build.

[gofastwclass]

I like those cars and that one looks like a nice foundation.

[Zoomin]

Nice to see a MOPAR project.

What are the plans for the drivetrain?

[LemonTwisted]

... along the way, the car will be upgraded with full Hotchkis suspension, Wilwood disc brakes, BOSS wheels and more!

That sounds vaguely familiar...

Good to see another Mopar getting built to be driven!

[preston]

As we've seen so many pro-touring cars with multiple body mods, spoilers, and big wheels, I've started to appreciate stock looking cars as long as they have good stance. That Challenger just looks so good and right with lots of chrome and the vinyl top - I hope the owner keeps it that way. The wheels are just right too - if new bigger wheels are in the cards I hope they are something that retains vintage styling. But his car his choices !

So far plans are just mild rebuild on the 440, 727.. and hopefully we can talk him into a modern fuel injection setup to top it off!

Very nice car! Glad to see there are others who appreciate old mopar iron!

I am with you on this one!! We will be keeping the vinyl top, all chrome, stripes and all! .. The wheels,.. we will see what happens.. but retaining a classic 5 spoke look to it.

[QuintinBrothers]

Here is a current picture of the interior of the car.. this will look relativity the same once completed.

68Cuda,
While I'm not a huge Mopar fan, I really dig your Cuda in your link. There is a fastback mopar I really like too. No clue what it is. LOL.

QuintinBrothers,
Looks like a real nice canvas. I'll be following for sure.

[QuintinBrothers]

Well, We have been very busy and anxious to start this build. here is just a little inspiration! Thanks again to Matt Bernal for the Awesome Rendering!

[QuintinBrothers]

Should be starting on the tear down this week!

[rixtrix1]

Looks to be an interesting build. Along with fuel injection, could you slip in an overdrive tranny, too? Good luck when you peel off that vinyl top; my '72 Olds Cutlass S roof was trashed! Our son's godfather has a '74 vert Challenger that's pretty trick while appearing stock,very quick! I'll be using it for a comparison. Subscribed

Well, Now that we are all back from SEMA 2017, We can get started on this sweet build!

Here is some disassembly pics.

Digging more into it, we found a few things that surprised us, like a single hole in the floor, and finding out that the car needs an entire trunk floor and extensions in the rear.. Nothing that we can't handle, but worse than we thought on this car.

A Plum Crazy Car!

Sure is! Tried to convince the owner to go back to that, but green is the choice!

[AU Doc]

Looks like a cool project. I wonder why it was painted? The coolest part of these cars were the colors.

I've seen a lot of cars painted just because! My Mom had her Brand New '72 Mustang painted a different shade of green!

[preston]

Gosh these cars have nice lines. If I could go back in time I might be a Mopar guy, although they were always a lot more precious than Mustangs obviously.

[Campbellshotrods]

Plum Crazy?? COOL!

Too bad you can't convince the owner to keep it that!

[WSSix]

Agreed. The lines on these cars are great. Love seeing them built since I can't foot the bill, lol. Good luck guys. Looks like a good starting point over all.

Here she is as she arrived back from Media Blast!

[QuintinBrothers]

As we dug deeper into this car, the worse it got.. Not to worry though as AMD metal came to the rescue with new inner fenders, drivers floor pan, quarter patches, trunk floor, trunk lid, extensions, drivers door skin and a rear valance.

A lot of hours put in with just small fixes from the abuse over the years.

[QuintinBrothers]

There was a little too much damage to this door skin than we are comfortable with fixing and being confident that we did it right.

We stress the the most important part of a build is how straight the body is.. Our guys put in tons o hours to make this challenger laser straight!

[preston]

There is always a ton of work getting things just right, but honestly that's one of the nicer post sand blast tubs I've seen, especially for a Mopar. Looks good, excited to see it come together.

I love them..... have owned many of them..... but these weren't exactly the standard of fit and finish and rust protection. I can remember working for DAYS trying to get the doors on my '64 Polara 500 to shut without sounding like the door was going to fall off.... LOL


Nice project by the way!

We reached out to US car tool for some of their unibody braces, the inner fender braces being one of them. They look sweet, too bad no one will ever see them after the car is completed.

This car, along with all of our other current builds, all the metal and paint work is being completed at our new body shop! We just opened after the SEMA show and employ 6 men over there, at our new 9,000sq ft facility, on top of our 6,000sq ft performance and restoration buisness.

You do nice work, best of luck in the new place.

Here is the engine compartment after doing away with some useless holes and marks so we can get the smooth look throughout the firewall and inner fenders.

The guys are working hard to make sure that the gaps are perfect on this beast!

Here is an example of a gap that is Wayy to big.. this was the case on both doors. Way to much room on the front and rear!

Here shows the process of getting these gaps to where we want them to be.. Tons of work in this car to ensure this.

Doesn't it make you feel good to get to this point...

[QuintinBrothers]

Doesn't it make you feel good to get to this point...

Yes! She is getting very close for sure. Can't wait to see it with some color on it.

[BMR Sales]

Great Work! Did you convince the owner to go back to Plum Crazy?

[QuintinBrothers]

Great Work! Did you convince the owner to go back to Plum Crazy?

Thanks! and, I wish! But the owner has good reason, as he wants to go sublime now to match his new 2016 Challenger.

[QuintinBrothers]

All the inside of the car, roof and whole underside was first coated with a nice black epoxy to seal everything.

Then, a nice thick and even layer of undercoat was layed down on the underside and fender wells.

That color really POPS! I really like it!

[QuintinBrothers]

That color really POPS! I really like it!

Thanks! And yes, Honestly I like it more than I thought it would. It is a variant of Sublime green to match his new gen challenger.

She's completely covered in green now! Looks soo good! Can't wait to get some new parts on this thing.

Totally agree with Marty this colour is absolutely fantastic .... I am praying that you guys are putting on a set of bad ass black wheels to offset that awesome green.

Now thats just me, im sure others have their own opinion on wheel selection.

Customer wants some nice Crager style to go with all his factory chrome.

Will look great in the end!

[QuintinBrothers]

The car is finally all done at the body shop and ready to start getting some new parts.

Car came out awesome and I couldn't be happier with our crew!

(don't mind the body dust on the car)

[QuintinBrothers]

Here she is starting to come together!

The upper and lower control arms were first dis-assembled.. then fully restored using new bushings and lower control arm stiffening plates.. We also cleaned up the K member and rear end housing and gave everything a nice spray of gloss black to accent all the brand new parts and make sure everything is protected, and nice looking for a long time.

We opted to run the complete Hotchkis suspension setup on this car, while retaining the factory suspension geometry.

We are running the Hotchkis strut rods, leaf springs, front and rear sway bars, and shocks all the way around.

PST supplied the brand new 2" drop spindles, torsion bars, and front end bushings.

[QuintinBrothers]

On the fuel system side of things.. We are running a stock brand new tank, straps and sending unit.

For steering.. We needed to get rid of the factory sloppy steering.. so we went with a upgraded fast ratio Borgeson box with arms.. Connected to a fully rebuilt factory steering column.

After a lot of work.. The engine is completely built and set in the car. The engine is a stock stroke 440, with aluminum heads, intake, good cam and a few other little goodies to make some decent power for the owner's all around needs.

We painted the engine all 100% hemi orange to keep with some original look.

For stopping power, We got all the inline tube brake lines mounted up where everything should be, as well as a polished Wilwood master cylinder and Prop. Valve!

[QuintinBrothers]

Coming up next is a very important step to a build like this.. Dynamat!

We love this stuff ever since using it on our Camaro build, and don't think we could build another car without it.

On this one, We full layed down Dynamat inside the doors, the full firewall, floor, inside of quarters, wheel houses and package tray.. this thing will be super quiet inside!

[BMR Sales]

Cole, the car is coming out beautiful!









I still think the Owner is "Plum Crazy" for changing the color! lol:lol:

Here are some pics from a few months back at the local NSRA show here in town.

We brought a handful of cars.. and the challenger was a main centerpiece.. people loved seeing a car in progress like that!

[WSSix]

This things is going to look great when done. Keep it up, guys!

[vdrivinmike]

Nice work - looks fantastic. Love the detail and colors.

[QuintinBrothers]

Thanks for the compliments!

Slowly but surely.. she is coming along.

Here is the Vintage Air setup starting to go in.. After messing with a boatload of different pulleys and belts. Finally got the right combo for this sweet setup.

[QuintinBrothers]

On the cooling side of things.. We decided to go with a fully polished oversized champion radiator with a polished shroud and dual electric fans. We love using champion products.. Great piece and awesome looking!

Overheating won't be a problem for this challenger!

[QuintinBrothers]

The engine bay coming together.. Vintage Air getting plumbed, new Holley carb installed.. This beauty is really coming together!

[QuintinBrothers]

All belts, pulleys installed as well as a brand new vinyl top!

[QuintinBrothers]

It is soo nice to see some trim and glass going back together on this sweet machine! Also started the first test fitments of the front body panels. Looks great!

[QuintinBrothers]

More pics of the final assembly.. It's almost ready for some summer cruising. :gitrdun:

[66fury]

love it

[QuintinBrothers]

Here she is getting the final wet sand and buffing!

[QuintinBrothers]

Stripes are all done! Time for finishing details.

[QuintinBrothers]

Well.. Here she is. This car has been a longg time coming, crazy fun build and she came out beautiful! Customer loves it. Now for the next build!

[66fury]
