Challenger wins Seattle Roadster show Pro Touring Class
« on: March 08, 2006 - 06:04:39 PM »

On its first show outing since completion in Feb, my Chall convertible Hemi resto-mod won 1st Place-ProTouring at the Seattle Roadster Show last weekend. (I stayed away from the "custom" classes that favor a lot of chrome and polished billet.) Also was awarded Outstanding Paint - Street Machine title. Won over a group of solid showing Blue Oval and Bow Tie types.

It was the only E Body on the floor out of 300+ cars, and one of only a handful of Mopars that included the Overhaulin Hemi RoadRunner and PureVision 68 Charger.

OK, this is a shameless promotion, but overall its good for us E Bod fanatics. Next stop Phoenix..

 :cheers: Most certainly something to be proud of, these cars are of legend proportion. Now, how many shows and awards before you decide to "enjoy the ride" and drive her? She sure is a piece or art, very beautiful. Congratulations !

The hood is Dan Hegybelli's piece, and as glass parts go, it is a nice reproduction. How about a 50 lb weight savings to go with the aluminum heads (50 lb) , aluminum water pump (10 lb), trunk mount battery (40 lb) and AlterKtion which drops another ~150 lbs of torsion bar and K frame largess.

Nobody will call the car a "lightweight" though..
