Are there no other mopar guys on that site to comment on the work?

That is an awesome piece. 
I like it the way it is without the extra channel and extension piece.
But, I like the idea of having the extra down force and extension. 

I'd take one,  pretty cool.  In carbon fiber non the less. 
So, he did not mention if he could make the extension slider piece out of carbon fiber.  I would think that would look better than a clear/scratchy fiberglass piece.

Carbon fiber bumpers would be freakin awesome!

I have no idea about the quality of the spoiler/bumper but the Cuda he built is a work of art!  :drool:

Someone get that guy to post over here!   :clapping:  That's some nice work. :woohoo:
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

Thats Craig Scholl he has a couple of threads going over on moparts. He has one for the Cuda and he is also doing an SRT -8 roadrunner. He's grafting a RR body onto a late model charger chassis.


Beat me to it Brad!!!!

Wow,  that is great. I wonder if he's still at the 50K at the end of it all.  (minus paint and body of course)

The extension will start to block your rear visibility, so clear Plexi seems like a good solution.  Also wanted to retain the appearance of the stock spoiler and car, without it looking "need for speed".  The clear Plexi helps keeps the stock look.  It also gives you the freedom to shape the piece(s)  any way you want or have multiple pieces of varying height, inexpensively.

Looks great!

That bumper is really smooth looking and tight into the fenders.   Now just need to smooth out the rear valance to remove the gaps left from removing the little bumperettes.

Thanks,
I'm actually running the bumperettes.  I like the way they break up the long skinny look of the back.

Thanks guys.

Here is a link to Jeff @ Munssey Speed and Design, who is doing the molds and production pieces.  He is just starting out, does very good quality work, and is still affordable!!  Check out his Facebook page for pics of the process from plug-to-mold-to-production-pieces.  He just posted up the bumper start procedure. http://www.munsseyspeedanddesign.com 

I think this stuff is cool to see, but then again, I watch a lot of How it's Made and Factory Made on TV.
