OK so a rattle appeared under my car today, cannot pinpoint it but it does seem to be rpm dependent, its there at idle and I can tell a change when shifting from reverse to drive etc...... heres the catch only starts up after driving car for a while?

1971 charger 318

any ideas?
 
the sound seems like is coming from the front near trans maybe i dunno, could the sound travel back from the muffler? and i did scrape it(muffler(s)) kinda hard today, little to fast over a speed bump that jumped outta nowhere, i mean i didn't get air or anything but none the less could that have knocked something loose?
 
Probably bent one of the hangers, or knocked it loose. Is that the first time you heard it was afetr you scraped it?
 
yeah, but like i said it seems rpm dependent and it only starts up after driving like 20 minutes, when i got home after it started i let her sit about 2 hrs went out drove for like 30 minutes and nothing was 200 yards from home and t started, took her out again about an hour ago and nothing but it was only about a 15 minute drive.....
 
OK took a 7 hour trip back home to TN today and nothing! car drove sweet as a nut , and got 20 miles to the gallon (2bbl 318), so i reckon till it comes back not a whole lot i can do
