No - I dont think so. The car from there to now is a very different animal and adding graphincs would probably be too much. Had the car stayed as a more basic 'pro-touring' style, then perhaps.

With assembly well underway and preperations for the car leaving for upholstery, we received the LED boards and lens pieces from Greening Auto to wrap up the front.

We also finalized the wheel concept for the car which could then be cut by Greening Auto.

WOW! Its in the details, incredible build RS!!!

syborg tt 12-23-2014 12:20 PM

Very well done and what a great way to end the year !!

onelapduster 12-23-2014 04:11 PM

Blown away. Breath taking. Superior.

tones2SS 12-23-2014 05:37 PM

Awesome stuff as usual. I LOVE those wheels. A LOT! lol The dash gauge panel is awesome, as is the entire interior.
Maybe a dumb question, but, how do you select your gears? Is it a rotary dial type thing?

Dr G 12-23-2014 07:57 PM

Chris - what are these little bump-outs on the wheels for?

http://gustave.smugmug.com/Trucks/56...ce2e4c9c_b.jpg

Do you guys ever do 7 spoke wheels? Someone a long time ago told me wheels should always have an uneven number of spokes. That way they lend an air of movement even when standing still.

I keep coming back looking at this car just as I did at SEMA. And I have to say (and this is only MY opinion) I don't understand how this car didn't take the top honors at SEMA. Just sayin.... Or the Charger for that matter.

Dr G

My guess is to orientate the center caps.


This build is breath taking! The amount of skill and attention to detail is unreal! Thanks for sharing the build with us. :king:

As long as it looks fast, right? :D

WSSix 12-24-2014 06:31 PM

Love the gauge panel and the rear lights. I think those are my favorite features on this phenomenal build.

MeanMike 12-24-2014 06:39 PM

I see new details every time I go through the thread. Is there significance to the speedo going to 201? Why not just 200?
