Very cool...    :ylsuper:   I can't wait until you start posting stories about your cruising experiences.....     :bananasmi    It's gonna be a blast.....     :burnout:     :cooldancing:   



BTW  --  I hope you get to put it on the track a few times.  There are many, many folks that are looking to put those Hemi's in these older cars and would love to see some performance specs...........      :ylsuper:    :cooldancing:

Will do Oldschool. I very very highly doubt the car will see the track. Its my ol mans car, it getting loose and something happening would be bad. Real bad.  :crying: It might see a dyno in its day, being it one of one and worth more than we could ever throw at it, he wouldnt take that kinda chance.  :'(  :cheers:

It looks amazing except for that silver on the roof. It feels like it has more power than yours i guess?

yea the silver on the roof isnt the greatest. that was chip's call, if you watched the show we picked all black roof and he kinda decided otherwise when it went into the booth... :sly: Its about 200hp more than my cuda, its a 525horse hemi

Looks good Goody, you must be please to finally have it home. I like those rims, I think they're cool IMO.
The roof, yeah, "so so" but it seems to go with the car. Put that roof on a stock Challenger? NOPE.

That car looks great man.  Just keep that thing of of I-4!  I lived in Orlando for 6 years and I know how those morons drive.  Any plans to show it?  Don Garlits has a car show once a year over at his museum in Ocala.

More pics please!   :drool:

oh and i'll have to look into if the safety catch on the door locks are removeable. The door poppers catch on it and you have to pop it twice and is a little odd. Cant wait for a real drive  :bigsmile:
Do you know if they used the Electric Life door kit? Do you know which solenoids and door poppers they used and how they were mounted etc? I'd really like to see how a working shaved handle kit on an Ebody was done.

If you don't mind of course. :)
