The design looks very well balanced. I would drive that car. I have refused to buy a new Challenger since every rich kid in town has one around here, but that Challenger I would definitely consider buying.

Good grief. I'll try to keep my bitch short as to why: I sold my last 69' charger due the I couldn't get a 426 Hemi block here, 9 months of waiting pissed me off enough to sell everything.
I did the back window daytona/500 style, had fenders and lower valance for Daytona clone and thats it.
But everytime I had my garage door open, some knucklehead would come by and say, nice Chevelle, or what year GTO, and last but not least, its that a Duke of Haz. car?
I hated that comment the most, sorry duke car owners.
A Daytona is a Charger, NOT a Challenger. Its a shame what car builders have come down to building anymore. Some cars should stay within they're build moto.
Example: Trans Am kit car turned into a Mustang, NOT!

Thats my two cents.
Hey, you can hate the game but don't hate the player.

It looks weird but you have to admire the skill it took to fabricate that nose cone.

Well, at least you didn't get asked like I have on several occasions about the building a Batmobile like I get sometimes while driving the runner around with the wing on it  :lol:.

 I'd like to see what it looks like finished but I give the guy credit for all the effort put into it. The great thing about the auto hobby is anyone can get creative as far as their talents will take them.  Some will like it and some will not but if the owners happy that's all that matters.

 Hey, It's a Challenger Daytona. I know a Guy who claims he had one in 1968 with a 352 Hemi.  :smilielol:

i really like it, the FENDER scoops on the HOOD look rediculous and the moulding at the doors doesn't look sized correctly but the nose and the wing look great, i didn't read what they want to name it but just cause you put a lambo door on a car doesn't mean you think it is a lambo celica(mustang, firebird, charger,whatever) just cause you put a nose and wing on a challenger doesn't mean its wrong, custome cars are called custome becuase its something that no one else has done........ yet, now, that being said......... sometimes customs don't look good to me either but i LIKE THIS ONE :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs:

Remember the average response time to a 911 call is over 4 minutes.

The average response time of a 357 magnum is 1400 FPS.

If I wanted one of these, I'd go fishing. :Twocents:

I can't help but think of the Cars movie when I look at it (not the Superbird).

Sarcasm detector, that's a real good invention.

hotrod98

I like it. I guess that I just like cars that are... "different".  Why else would I buy an all black Superbird with an air grabber hood and 17" rims.

I just creamed me pants... too much information? Nah you dont say.  If Dodge would make cars like that, (insert typical company revival scheme here).

I like it. That nose looks absolutely factory to me.

I like it, looks factory, but I can just see the front air dam catching a curb and ripping the front end right off.
