Do u have any info on that charger...
Thanks

I spoke to the owner/builder for a few minutes at the Spring Fling @ Woodley park this year, he told me a little about it.

When I spotted it from a ways off and walked up to it, I said to myself: "Ok, SRT-8 wheels..... and buckets..... and REAR seat.... and engine.... hold the phone, hey what's with the shock towers?!?! Ohhhhhhhhhhh"


He said the SRT car was totalled out for roof damage or something so it made a perfect donor for the body swap. I might know how to find him if necessary, I am in the CPW club that puts on the show.

Cool car very cool car .... U should post a thread and update

The black paint scheme gets a lot of attention. I'm kinda concerned that you said you had to settle for a Challenger- I have always preferred this body style, but to each his own I guess. I've settled for mine for the past 28 years, and couldn't be happier. I hope it grows on you.

Carsavior don't get me wrong I love the car but if I could do it again I would get a cuda. I've always wanted a cuda since I can remember but I'm happy with the challenger. I just hope pretty soon illl be able to drive it... Hahah

My car is pretty stock with the addition of srt dodge seats, asanti 3 piece wheels and a few mods. I'm doing a black with a flat black scheme. It would be a dream to get a new hemi in there but I'm on a budget since I'll be divorcing soon so I'm shooting for reliability and very cools looks at a budget... Basically a nice driver. I'd like to post some pics but I'm on my iPhone so if anyone would volunteer to post em up for me that would be great so I could get some feedback.

Thanks everyone and I hope your all well..

Cool to see another Mopar guy from So Cal. Did you take your Challenger out to last Spring Fling? I don't remember it out there.
