just remembered also has a custom dash so you can have speakers in the front which is one good thing the previous owner did.

Great you managed to get some pictures posted.

How far did you get on redoing the electrics? When we last spoke you were trying to replace the coil and ignition. Did you get that replaced and is the engine running?

BTW love the wildcat steering wheel. I use almost the same wheel in my race car.

Interesting dashboard. Is that fibreglass?

got the coil done but didn't bother to put the ignition in since i knew i couldn't finish it off =/

yea that wheel is much easier to use than the original  ;D

yea i'm pretty sure it is..it turned out pretty well for being home made by the previous owner

Yeah for a homemade dashboard it looks really good, for my front speakers I put them in the plastic door cubbyholes.

I agree, the old wheels are far to big. I use a modern wheel about that size in my '75. I still have the stock tri-spoke sports wheel in my Charger. It is massive but it is good for the lack of power steering on a big car.

I see it is missing the door card on the front passengers, does it have any of the door cards at all?

Does look like it would be a pretty big project to save that Avenger. From what I see the body looks pretty good in terms of rust, do you know how much bog is under that black paint?. could make a good reshell for a race car or something.

there is a bit of bog at the back window pillar.

yup it has all door cards..but just incase i'll check again later.

yea i still have the old steering wheel too its sitting in the back you can just see the top of it in one of the pictures.
