    73 Challenger - Road Ready
    « on: October 03, 2013 - 04:07:10 PM »
    Six years, 2 kids, and 1 international move later...  It can finally hit the streets. 
    I won't call it finished, but until I can find the cash for some mechanical improvements, this will do.

    Nice clean looking Challenger. What happen to the "DODGE" letters on the hood? Are they for sale?

    Thanks. 

    It was a new AMD hood, and they don't come with the holes drilled.  I should have drilled before painting but I like the way it turned out without the letters.  I still have them and will be holding onto them for the next repaint in about 5 years :)
