Cool!  Do you use it when driving though? I love the paddle shifters.

Well, some of us don't have paddle shifters.   :grinno:

I would have that if I ordered the Super Track Pak. That wasn't available until a month after ordering my SXT+. I knew the window for PCP was limited, so I jumped a day after it was available. 

So yes, I love the Hurst shifter. It feels great in my hand. The real oddity of this, is my original shifter handle is still connected to it's wiring harness, and hidden down inside the console. The directions told me my car would throw a code if I didn't do this.   :dunno:  All I can say is, so far, so fun!

Do you miss the feeling of your old Challenger?
Or are you at the point of no return?

Sweet challenger you have. Do you have anymore pics of it?
I also have a 1970 Dodge Challenger RT Convertible (383M - auto) that I painted PCP.  It was originally an FK5 Deep Burnt Orange - white tops, stripes ect...
As much as I love the way your car looks and that is the ultimate color scheme I originally wanted - I am considering a return to the OEM colors because there are indeed a ton of PCP cars.  It is such an awesome color.

I miss looking at it, I'll tell you that. That car was beautiful.

To be honest, I can't see me buying an old one again...But if I ever retire, I'll need to work on something....Hmm.

Sorry, I really don't have any pictures of it other than the ones i posted in this thread.

That's a nice '70 you have there. I personally wouldn't change it, but the original color was pretty cool in itself. I can understand you situation.  :grinyes:  To be honest, there is no wrong answer. PCP or Burnt orange. Now if this was between PCP ad Root beer brown, then I would question your judgement.   :lol:

What's funny is how I went the complete opposite. Bye Bye SRT for a 73 to fix up.

I haven't updated in a while.

  Some door accents. I had my headrest covers embroidered, and I added under hood LED lights. They are multi-colored, but I'm sticking with purple.

I have other stuff on the way.    :bananasmi

I really like the door accents. That's the first I've seen that done.

Cool, what did that cost?

Mind you I couldn't do as my rings are always lit for running lights.

Next thing is the led grille badge!

Shaun,

   It cost me $400, and I had these painted Plumb-crazy. They mount outside, and look like they belong on the car. Easy install. The remote is high-tech, and claims 640,000 colors.

My car is lit for running lights too, but here in the States, it's illegal to have anything other than white or amber lights up front. That takes the fun out of it. I just did this for car shows.
