Silver huh?

Sounds a lot like the Rogan "Sickfish" car.

What kind of hood?

Also...4L80E...didn't want to do the TCI 6x trans?

Any pics of the dash work in progress? Difficulty of that process?

i'll try and get some better photos of the install....As for difficulty I don't feel it's to bad ...Obviously the front part of the dash is way longer on the newer cars but the dash is made of plastic so it trims down real easy. The width of the dash is just right as there was no narrowing and the gap between the dash and door panels is just about right...The dash is taller than the original so I am going to lengthen the brake pedal a bit which is no big deal cause I will also dog leg it over a bit because of the size of the trans tunnel...It appears that the dash is too low (no room for your feet) but it actually doesn't feel that bad sitting in it ,,,Bret

......Hey there..... any of the mods look familiar.....I won't lie a lot of the ideas came from your project... So thank you sir. obviously I like your car....Bret

Your welcome. Love the shaved lowered look of your car.. I wonder what plans you have for the interior. Custom builds are the future of the hobby. Your should be a great hit.. Keep the pictures coming.

Thanks for everyone's comments...Too be honest I figured I would get a lot of grief  for the build. I know a lot of the purist guys might not like it but so far the customer is happy. Again THANKS

Its clear to see where the industry is headed, go to any street rod show and see the large influx of modified muscle cars. The purist in the Mopar hobby today is a dying breed. Most of the rare cars have been restored so there isn't much growth there. Everyone is looking to improve their mopars for better comfort , handling , safety and reliablity ,thats where its at. .Keep up the great work ,

As long as it's not a BS or JS car, I say go all out.

BS or JS car, I say do a more mild pro-touring theme that's easy to return to stock somewhat.
