If I remember correct Shelby, it's a new chally gas cap they sank into the quarter.

New Chally gas caps are on the driver's side. If you use one on the passenger side, the "FUEL" will be upside down if you mount it to open towards the front.

Car looks fantastic.  Any idea what it weighs with the 6.4 and 6-speed in place of the original drivetrain?  I am thinking it will be lighter than a stock 383 Challenger?  Hard to beat the 6.4 VCT as a practical street engine...

I usually don't like the restomods, but your car is very nice all the way around-only beef is it is a 71 not a 70 :stirpot: I would do a car exactly like that

RMS makes the kit for the rear coilovers. The car is only 475HP not 600 not sure where you got that info from.
We have not taking the car to the track yet but so far no wheel hop on the street.

"usraptr" = United States raptor - bird of prey = United States Bald Eagle.  FYI, somebody else thought of it first so I had to drop the "O" in raptor.
