My name is Bob Czachorowski and I'm from S.E. Michigan. This is a web page to highlight the work I performed on a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T .This car was a total basket case that was purchased from a police impound lot.The car was in desperate need of some serious repair.Originally a 4 speed car the current owner chose to convert it to a automatic.There is a 440-6 pac K -frame under the front end , and a Dana 60 under the rear.Super stock springs support the axle, relocated 3 inches inboard to provide clearance for the monster tires that will be housed in the mini tubs.This project has currently taken me just over 6 months to complete to this point.
I also dabble in the elitist E-body restorations as evidenced by my brother's award winning 1974 'Cuda being judged here at the 2002 Mopar Nationals!
