That car looks ****ing sick in white primer!! That's the color I am going with when I get a Challenger/Cuda!!

I think you should have gone with blue over the grey, helps it pop more with the stripes and black rims..

I didn't see any pics in your Gallery of the TT Viper Powered Charger, do ya have any?:unibrow:

The car looks great. Sooner or later I am going to have to stop by and visit your new shop.

PS - does this one need a set of hood pins ?

Trey - Thanks, the car does look pretty sick in just primer. These cars have such a cool wedge shape to them that it doesn't take too much to enhance the look. We played around with a light blue and even looked at the BMW Laguna Blue from the last M3 body style. I haven't seen a car painted anywhere near this color so that had a lot of influence. Plus, it looks bitchen in person!

Haulin - Sorry, the owner wants to keep this car on the DL until it is completed or very close to being completed. The car is absolutely insane. There are so many minor body mods and custom made panels on this car. I think there are more labor hours in the metal work than any other complete car we have built. Sorry for the tease...we'll get to post some pics shortly

Syborg I think we are using a stock style hood latch on this one. What did you have in mind for hood pins? We may nave a few other projects that can use 'em.
You should definitely come out to the shop. We have a lot of unique projects going on currently. Unfortunately, 5 of them the owners do not ant any pics getting out. I'll try to persuade them more on this subject. You are in the Chicao area, right?

I would like to know is what are and where did you get the headlights? I have been looking for a projector style for my 72 challenger. Thanks

The tail lights are stock. Instead of mounting them from the outside with the chrome bezel and reverse light in the center, we remade the rear body panel. The tail lights now mount from inside the trunk. The lights have a step in them that fite perfectly into the new, smaller opening we made. This makes the visable section of the tail light smaller and looks like it is almost flushmounted to the rear body panel.

End of the day and the car is in the booth, prepped, and ready to spray tomorrow morning.
