Here's my driver. Can't post pics from work I guess? I'll edit them in later from this old post.

Daytona and I are always talking about doing a 69 a12 clone road runner or Bee as a rat rod.  I think the cars look pretty bad a$$ this way.  There was a challenger at the mopar nationals a year or two back, but I have no pictures.

There is the black primer Challenger that Air Ride built for their E-body suspension kit.  Looked pretty sweet to me.

i'm doing the same thing.
i don't like purple, so i'm painting my car matte black (maybe satin) cause it's cheap and i can do it myself.
and because when i'm a granddad i can say i rolled around in a matte black muscle car....   ha ha

i've looked long and hard for matte black e bodies, these are some of the better pics i have found:

Just remember that if you go with primer instead of flat paint, try to keep it out of the weather as much as possible. Primers do not seal completely, and moisture can get underneath and rust the metal.

here's my car in her satin black 2k primer.
someday i'll go over the top with a matte clear.

but for now the satin looks pretty cool. it's very 'black', as opposed to the chalky grey/black that some black primer looks like.
looks very cool in the metal. was real cheap paint, and it's weather proof and tough, though it marks easy.

there's a thread with more pics elsewhere on this forum...

and yeah, kids love it!
