1972 dodge challenger convertible

[michelle]

this is another rebuild of a older build 
i converted it into a right hand drive 
i swapped the rims and tires and front seats with ones from my parts boxes 
i curbsided it so i could use the 340 engine in another rebuild 
i painted the body rust-oleum 2x satin sweet mango and then a top coat of rust-oleum 2x gloss clear 
i painted the interior and convertible boot rust-oleum 2x flat black primer

Great job as always , just curious I’ve noticed that you have been converting some builds lately to right hand drive. Any special reason?

thank you 
i have been converting most of my north american sold car/truck builds to right hand drive since last year 
i now only build left hand drive if the build is a replica of a tv show/movie/music video car or truck 
as i mentioned in my recent 1972 dodge demon post i think the right hand drive layout looks the best and is the most logical

I like your RHD residing in the UK but why? the 1:1 worth far less here...i had a Mustang 2... it was one of 33 RHD V8 for UK and more bhp no smog...i can tell you it was worth nothing  Muscle RHD is worth less here despite rare people want LHD...the only valuable RHD here Australian Muscle.

PS i am not telling you how to build Michelle...people into US classics in the EU want them to be LHD...if one is right handed a left hand drive feels better to drive...shifting gear with the dominant hand it just feels correct! RHD suits left handers.

Another PS as long as you are happy who cares  the hobby fun and you sparked our interest!...build for you and thanks for sharing.
