That looks great
Re: 71 340 RT Challenge Driveway resto........
14" Rallyes don't seem to have a great market, even in nice condition. 15" Rallyes do.
I have my 14 Rallyes still, but went 15" minilite and have a loft of wheels now.

Re: 71 340 RT Challenge Driveway resto........
You've seen the size of a Challenger boot, no room for a spare and anything else!

Re: 71 340 RT Challenge Driveway resto........
have you thought about the chrome 'paint' for the existing bumpers? not the halfrauds rattle can type but the water based silver nitrate one. a mate's had some old ford parts done by a place maidstone way and it does look like chrome to be fair. silver nitrate is what they use to make mirrors so that's the look you get. 2 pack clear over the top so it's as durable as any painted surface. i can get you contact details if you like?

Re: 71 340 RT Challenge Driveway resto........
Thanks son, no im totally ok with the painted ones for now, when i prepped them i completely removed all traces of the plate and the copper etc,
ive ordered the chrome ones so i can if needed return the car to standard, ive a correct vinyl top along with the chromes etc,

Got 1700 miles on the old girl now, done over a 100 in the last couple of days, this today at Palm Bay in Thanet, sunshine and 15C lovely
The cars unbelievably good on the road, drives so well for a 51 year old,

Good stuff!
Make the most of it!
I was out in the 'Cuda today and bumped into the Hollingsworths in their Challenger!
Not literally of course.....

Re: 71 340 RT Challenge Driveway resto........
Looks fantastic with those wheels and the spoiler! I'm so pleased that this car got the restoration it deserved.
As for the old Rallyes, I don't think I charged Barry very much for them. I did sell another set more recently for £200 with good tyres.
But if I were you I would keep them, because they are 1971 wheels, and correct for the car.

Cheers son, yeah ive binned that idea now, ive got a few bits now that i will just hang onto, been out today for a good'ol blast about,
it never cease to amaze me how well it drives and bowls down the road, ive still got a fair few jobs to do, all of which would be of the upgrade type,
We very briefly had a nose at a "classic car meet" today, looked more like Tesco's car park! wall to wall VAG's ....................... errrm not my thing!
