Car looks great. :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs:  Is there any plans to maybe red line the wheels or tires?  The wheels blend into the tires and you lose the spokes of the wheels. Other than that, looks incredible. :coolgleamA: :coolgleamA: :coolgleamA: :2thumbs: :drool5:

Amazing!  Love all the custom stuff on this build.

Which ones you asking about?

I really like the front inner fender well plexiglass.  Way cool.

I just looked back at the pictures and didn't notice the plexiglass - cool. :2thumbs:

Use this message as a retraction from my previous message - thank you.  :nana:

Nicely done. Just goes to show you cant judge a car till its finished. I was very skeptical about a few things on the car but seeing it all tied together...... absolutely gorgeous. :2thumbs:

What color did you paint the wing windows and window trim? Is that body color?  :scope:
Best looking rear bumper I've seen, really matches the look of the '70 front.

Ryan, what were you skeptical about exactly? And yes, agreed, it turned out great!

Patronus, matte black for the trim pieces. Thanks! By molding both the front and rear, we were able to take the ugly out of them, and make them match!

Maybe I missed it but was there a "table of contents"
Of punishment ?
Wheel sizes paint color etc

Tomorrow is promised to no one.......drive your Charger today.

Dino

Although it's not my thing I have to say this:  This is one of the best and tightest custom jobs I've ever seen done to a Charger.  The workmanship is just excellent.  Knock 'em dead at SEMA!!   :2thumbs:

Thanks guys! Its been a great project!

autodynamics, great idea, I will work on a list of all the components...

Finn

It looks killer. I agree with Dino, definitely the cleanest, tightest, and tasteful builds executed on the forum. I really hope you guys do well at SEMA!

Well to me atleast it seems that alot of the time "custom" and 2nd gen charger just don't work well together for whatever reason. I was skeptical about the taillights, very skeptical on the interior wich at first glance looked really out of place. However after seeing it finished, it all tied together very well. The interior looks great and almost looks like its OEM from a new car. The tail panel and the body mods came out great as well.

I have to be honest, I wasn't diggin the interior work at first... but the finished product: :drool5: ..love the tail light setup as well, and the exhaust tucked up there.  :2thumbs:

Great looking car, minus the tail lights (IMO) and looks mean  :yesnod:

What a great day at SEMA yesterday. the car was photographed lots of times. People were very excited about the front bumper and engine placement, the rear tail lights, and the interior.

MOPAR got some love!

Some pics from the day... the first is me with Dave Salvaggio the builder...
